I LOVE this feeling and moment.
Got to do it twice with Livejournal and Twitter (also Fastly but if we did it right you didn’t notice) and I’m eating all the details.
Outages, massive user increase, feature degradation, fiber cuts, oh my!

We have now hit 16 million users. We're looking like we might onboard another million today, we'll see. Regardless we'll be far past 16.5 million I'm quite certain.

It finally happened: the Tesla FSD didn’t swerve or stop to avoid a Waymo making a bad left turn. I took over.
But I also honked? When does that behavior change? Either autonomous driving groks honking or I have to chill.

Eating shishito peppers always makes me think of the famous line from Dirty Harry…
“You’ve got to ask yourself one question: Do I feel lucky?
