Weekend in the city with this hottie @stefinitely.cool

We are not fighting over policy or political party.

We are fighting over whether we are going to be a civilization rooted in empathy and kindness—or cruelty and rage.

Choose your side.

This is why I always put one of our brand logo stickers on my work laptop to make it easier to remember which one is which 😂

Coding Agents Are Actually Good at This One Thing Coding agents aren't magic. But for internal tooling? They've brought back the "just build the thing" era I've been missing since Microsoft Access.

I’m not certain we didn’t take you seriously when you said that

Or at least no less seriously than anything spoken at Parrot’s

One night, about 15 years ago, I told @matty.wtf @localcelebrity.bsky.social @chicagoleah.bsky.social and others that Roombas were the first step toward Terminators and everyone was all “hahaha” but I am just here to say I was right.

One place I'm seeing coding agents (I don't want to say "vibe coding") as very useful to me is the use case of "I have an internal tool for my team I need to build" 🧵

this thread may or may not have made me think of @phrawzty.com as I always do when I talk about airtable

Basically RIP Airtable for me (we had a good run, I used to love you)

Anyway, for this use case, it's great to use these agents. I'm less worried about super duper hardening like I would for a real production app that external/public users would use, etc

(caveat: I know a thing or two about infrastructure and security and such, so it's not being ignored)I

Plus also, as those tools decide they want to do other things, it gets harder and harder to use them

i've done so much "let me cram this idea and use case into how Asana/Notion/Airtable thinks about the world" and that's caused me no end of agita in the past

This is powerful to me, at least, because I used to LOVE Airtable for this kind of thing. I built so many things in Airtable for tracking conf talks for my teams, content inventories, etc. But...

a) you have to work within what those tools want
b) it is costly to expose to the rest of your team

In the past, I would have used something like Airtable, Coda, or Notion (for example) to build out basically the equivilent of "how would I have done this back in the 90s in Microsoft Access"

Now I can have my little coding agent helper build with me a web frontend and database for this

What DevOps Already Knew About AI Development AI won’t fix your bottlenecks. It just hits them faster. Gene Kim’s five stages still define software delivery in the age of agentic coding.

Developer Experience is More Than Just Productivity Metrics If we want to foster true innovation, we have to realize that Developer Experience (DevEx) is the journey, while Developer Productivity is simply the destination.

I finally got around to converting a talk that I have given a few times into a blog post about some of the key differences between #DevEx and Developer Productivity.

The President of the United States, Donald Trump, must resign tonight.
If he does not, Congress must impeach him.

We shouldn’t have had to wait for a report that he punched a 13 yr old in the head for not sucking his cock correctly but yeah, this ought to be the end.

The State of DevOps Report 2026 | Perforce Software

I went through the State of #DevOps report and I have... thoughts. I still need to crystallize some of my opinions on what I saw in this report, but I was interested in the heavy correlation between "mature DevOps" and "AI successful".

I'm not surprised. (1/x)

Wait according to the IMDb it was a Hunt for Red October reference, so Firefly must have referenced that and not originated it (a maneuver called a Crazy Ivan)

I also just noticed a throwaway Firefly reference in S1E8 that i never noticed before!

Following today’s SCOTUS’ ruling against Trump’s tariffs, Illinois Gov. Pritzker sent an invoice to the White House asking for a reimbursement for his constituents.

Did you see her in Chicago a few months ago? Amazing.

"THIS IS JUST DOGE!" Tell me you have no capacity for critical though without telling me.

That's like comparing doing surgery with a cleaver versus doing surgery with a scalpel.

Someone IN a department who UNDERSTANDS the work is NOT like a shithead named "Big Balls" coming in with a neutron bomb.
