Imagine having a billion dollars and wasting your time doing anything other than:

1. Reading novels in the bath
2. Making art
3. Traveling
4. Cooking and eating
5. Giving heaps of cash to awesome people and institutions who need it

Interesting new research shows the human brain rewires itself during five distinct “epochs” over a lifetime (with turning points at 9, 32, 66, and 83), with markedly different characteristics in brain architecture in each phase. This suggests cognition and intelligence do not simply increase to […]

For the Americans in the room... If you're hanging out with family this week and need a movie to watch, Playdate was hilarious and cute.

I'm not even a slapstick comedy person and I was cracking up.

Enjoy! […]

@monkeybrains signing me up for political mailing lists that I never asked for is so far beyond disappointing. Glad I made the switch to Sonic.

You just lost a years-long Monkeybrains advocate.

My personal heroes and projects I admire are @signalapp @Mer__edith @torproject @gnome @thunderbird @ryanleesipes . I’d much rather have Mastodon be inspired by the contributions of these people and projects to the FOSS and non-profit technology world than trying to rebuild early Twitter.

The "tax resolution department" scam people have clearly identified me as a mark who will eventually fall for it if they call me enough times.

When you #selfhost, you will never have any problems with #aws being down.
All you have to do is:
- Ensure you have a decent power supply
- Have your own servers
- Be able to troubleshoot networking issues at 3AM because your electronic lock won't release and your child can't get in the house
- […]

Today is my first day at AWS.

I noticed a small bug in DynamoDB clustering implementation and I think I fixed it.

Shipped to prod already.

Going to make a coffee and will check back if everything is working.

It's that time of year again.

There is a major disruption to the Internet and suddenly everyone is an expert on why people made architectural decisions that they know nothing about and then explain how you're clearly doing it wrong.

Me to many clients: if […]

People talk shit about California drivers, but you know what I've not experienced here? Road rage.

Yes, people here do stupid shit, like constantly, but they're also very chill. People let others merge, they move out of the way, and generally try to be courteous to others. It was the first […]

Shout out to people who love ebooks but hate Amazon:

Bookshop.org has started doing eBooks! They have an app! They have classics for free! They have daily 99p deals!

Much excite!

This is a good summary of how the vaguely odious vibes that DHH has been giving off for a decade have boiled over. If you don’t know who that is/don’t have any personal investment in Ruby, you have my blessing to keep scrolling and not worry about it […]

I just saw someone wrote that developers might feel more productive with AI...

But everyone also insists that they are that one exception who is actually good at multitasking.

And that's going to be living rent-free in my head for quite some time.
