Things I’m currently into:
* tracking and improving data quality (also my job)
* jigsaw puzzles (aka grief processing)
* data platforms (it’s just one big happy system to noodle on)
* abstractions (see above)
* Satisfactory (video game but also see above)
* unlocking Wandrer achievements

Just saying I could use more acts of defiance in my feed. Large or small - both lift my spirit. This rolling over nonsense is not flying with me.

I somehow subscribed to 90 substacks, and trying to clean them out is my weekend project. It might span a few weekends if I can't find a way to do it in less than three clicks for each newsletter.

People have been dunking on this, rightly, and I would like to extend the same sentiment to making websites. Yeah, making a really great website is a lot of work these days. So make a terrible website and have fun with it.

I’ve been working on an RFC and doing code reviews and prototypes for what feel like forever and it’s going to be lovely when it’s done but I just want some solid boring coding for a bit…

I made this Pride flag using only NASA images and our team thought it would be cool to share on social (I work on the NASA heliophysics communications team), but it's getting all sorts of hate on the bird app and Fbook. Thought y'all might be more appreciative of it here. ☺️🏳️🌈💖

Racking my brain - what is the data modeling approach of “if I can query it I can model it” called? I think @joereis.bsky.social coined a term for it.
