Twitter transplant. Bringer of order to chaos. Westerville, OH. He/him. Occasional cyclist. Home automation without the cloud.
I just used Chat GPT to write code that calls the Chat GPT API in order to generate more code. I'm both impressed and appalled at myself.

Was reflecting this morning on the three most impactful conference sessions I've been to over the years and thought I'd push my appreciation out into the ether. So here goes....

Mitch Hedberg (RIP) had a great joke about baked potatoes.

He would have loved 3d printing.

"Terrible. A bunch of toothbrushes had a security hold and now they've turned into a massive botnet that's taken the site down."

This is why cloud connected devices are often a bad idea

My new home automation concept is a sensor that detects a door opening within 10 seconds of a toilet flushing and announces WASH YOUR HANDS in a loud voice.

I think they'd sell like gangbusters to parents

Back to work for the first day since 12/20.

There's not enough coffee for this.

Like, I mean in the whole world

Nearly $750 for an average car loan payment is nuts.

First time in a cube in 15 years.

Thanks! I hate it.

I'm feeling pretty good about this #codemash session on authentication. I've continued to tighten it up and have made some significant improvements since Momentum.

I think it's really solid.

So, I look forward to the day after CodeMash when I suddenly realize all the ways it still sucks...

AI: "You're trying to implement a complex algorithm in an unfamiliar programming language, using random types you described in poorly written English? I got you, boo."

Also AI: "You'd like me to create a story problem illustrating a simple 6th grade math equation? Allow me to show my ass a bit..."

Me, in the summer: I'm gonna submit talks I've already written to #codemash, so that I can spend December chilling out and not stressing over prep.

Me in early December: this talk is garbage, I'd better overhaul it.

Me in late December (probably): that was stupid

Shout-out to the guy at my @momentumdevcon session who asked a question that momentarily stumped me.

You, sir, are the impetus for a few new slides that will make it into my CodeMash deck. Gonna go ahead and clear up that confusion head-on.

@aaronpetry.bsky.social 10 years. Glad to see Teddy doing so well!

This OpenAI drama is interesting. Looks like the board maybe tried a power play and is now in the FO stage of FA,FO?

Been studying nosql one-table design patterns as I prepare to start our first cloud-native project.

I think I get it, lay things out in NoSQL Workbench, and then try explaining it to someone and realize nope, I still don't totally get it.

Getting closer though.

I have a joke about legacy code, but there's probably only one person out there who truly understands it

It used to be that Windows was frequently unstable and rebooting fixed everything.

These days, my computer runs perfectly stable UNTIL I reboot, at which time Bluetooth, camera, and audio settings randomly change or devices stop working.

Forced nightly windows updates are great fun.

we all thought Twitter’s collapse would be swift and sudden like the fall of the Roman Empire but instead it’s been a steady, irreversible decay like the fall of the Roman Empire
