Here's a take I'm working on - we shouldn't use RPM for pitch spin and should instead just do revolutions-to-the-plate. It spun around 16 times feels way more tangible than 2400 RPM.

They’re already mostly black, and that seems pretty appropriate for the vibes all around lately.

Ever since I was a little boy, I always dreamed of growing up to fix unit tests until all our CI passes.

It’s kind of funny that the way Americans will most frequently use the word β€œgas” in their lifetime is referring to a liquid

If it's a big presentation with basically-done work, I'll go with a powerpoint because of the flexibility to manipulate image sizes, text boxes and put them exactly where I want them, the exact size, and get instant feedback rather than wait on a re-render just to see if my column sizes are right

The decision point for me is how dynamic the artifacts are. There's a tradeoff for auto-update on render vs GUI point and click ability.

Often when I'm refining and tweaking plots for an internal presentation, I'll do quarto knowing it'll be ready at presentation time.

Idk I’m finding this whole β€œan AI agent completely unprompted wrote a takedown blog post of an open source contributor” story a little hard to believe if I’m being honest

Pretty sure I could do pretty close to this by just saying β€œyes it is a fastball” for like half of the years in their dataset.

Million dollar idea I’m giving away for free: hoodies for parents.

The only difference is there’s no strings for your teething baby to eat while you’re trying to get them to nap.

It’s like 5 degrees outside, I could have told you that. You don’t need a meteorological groundhog.

The better LLMs get, the more data scientists are going to find out the truth.

Do you hate leaving your terminal as much as I do?

Do you use Linear for project management?

Do you have strong opinions?

If so, check out this TUI I wrote for Linear and give me feedback: github.com/tjburch/line...
