Today's a fantastic day to make no configuration changes to your production environments. If something goes wonky, you'll go mad trying to figure out if it's the AWS issue (possibly reflected through a vendor of yours who uses them) vs. your own shitty, shitty code.

I was wondering why people were talking about Vercel again and went to see what their CEO said
It's worse than I expected. He has a photo with a war criminal 🫠

The President of the United States is threatening to go to war with an American city.
This is not a joke. This is not normal.
Donald Trump isn't a strongman, he's a scared man. Illinois won’t be intimidated by a wannabe dictator.

Anytime someone talks about the Epstein Files and says something like "think of all the Democrats it's going to expose too" I'm like "fuck yes, expose ALL of those pedos, prosecute them, and get them out of positions where they can victimize others."
This is the only acceptable position.

What makes MCP appealing is the adoption of existing technologies, including JSON-RPC, to close a feature gap, mainly the need to fetch external data and call other tools.
The ability to build extensions and integrations using existing technologies is the big win in my opinion.

1. Today, the Trump administration's HHS Dept., under RFK Jr., released a review of transgender healthcare.
It has no authors. It pushes pseudoscience and conversion therapy. It does not follow a scientific process.

Leaked memo from the Shopify CEO about AI contains a bit about not learning AI prompting leading to stagnation. This is a viewpoint of someone not steeped in humanities.
Honestly, USE of AI will LEAD to stagnation.

Yup. The US Digital Service was formed from Big Tech SREs. Top level SREs really are elite level problem solvers and trouble makers of the highest order.
Many are trans, queer, or at the very least, care about LGBTQIA people, and will end you if you talk disrespectfully about them.
