Been using AI to write code. It’s hardly ever exactly what I want. And it gets a lot right. It surprises me sometimes as to what it gets right.

Pet peeve: TV shows and movies using the term “mainframe” when the thing they are referring to is in fact not a mainframe. Most often it’s a super computer. Or just some computer system.

Heads up:
Several internet services are having outages right now; likely due to some sort of 'backbone'/resourcing outage (think AWS level).
Cloudflare, Discord, Kinsta, NPM, Google Cloud Services, Snapchat, Twitch, Etsy, Spotify... just to name a few; they're all connect to whatever's happening.

Did AWS shit itself again? So glad we decided to have the entire world relying on one place.

The thing to understand about Trump is like in his first term, he doesn’t want to govern. He doesn’t want to learn. He wants to campaign and look good.
Republicans know this. So there are battles going on right now to take control of the actual process of governing.

Last night, in 37 minutes, in another Nuggets win, Nikola Jokic had 35 points, 22 rebounds, 17 assists, and 1 turnover. His true shooting was 74.8%.
The best player alive is having (by far) the best season of his career.

Tom Morello was right.
And now, we are living in the bonafide Rage Against the Machine era.
It is time to organize.
Our government is not failing us, it is actively trying to destroy us.

I am headed to my first tournament of the year. Was hoping to get there early and try out some new drivers. Not been happy with what is in my bag in the 9+ speed. But I am stuck in traffic. I have a 10am tee time. So I should be ok. Just not as much warm up time. #discgolf

I knew all this was going to happen. But nothing can really prepare you for what it feels like when the moment actually arrives. This is why we need each other and our communities. I plan to turn to them a lot in the coming years.

Like History? Start with Woodrow Wilson as Obama and follow the history forward. Things got bad after Wilson. Real bad before they got better. 100 years later we are kind of in the same cycle.

With all my enterprise level PHP work, I sometimes forget just how good of an HTML template language it is. Especially for static generation of HTML.
