hey folks at @gitlab :
this is what my profile looks like.
- domain: looks good
- mastodon: great
- bluesky: WTAF!?
can i make this look better? or can you?
also, finding the correct magic format for these fields is not at all discoverable. getting the mastodon one right was very difficult.

So many great lines in this piece by Derek Thompson at The Atlantic:
"By the numbers, the tariffs are less an expression of economic theory and more a Dadaist art piece about the meaninglessness of expertise."

There's a huge spectrum of opinions about AI for software:
- it's awesome and boosts my performance
- it's OK, i use it a bit
- it's crappy, distracting, and slows me down
- it's a bubble about to pop
- it's copyright theft and unethical to use
- it's killing the planet and immoral to use

🧵 - debugging a strange deadlock.
last week i spent about 2 full workdays worth of hours looking into a strange case in a particular user's file.
the project had one page that killed the app instantly. not an especially complex or strange page, but it always triggered a deadlock.

it has been 0️⃣ days since autocorrect decided that "and" was incorrect and corrected it to "snd" silently and without a red underline.
i've now nuked the autocorrect library twice. i think it's probably easier to let iOS win this one.
"snd" is now preferred spelling if "and".

I’ve decided that Ariana Grande looks like Shelley Duvall and should therefore revive Faerie Tale Theater and play Olive Oyl in a remake of Popeye.

I love the idea of embedding languages inside other languages.
Why? To help with programmer productivity. A lot of folks love to use a more scripting like language for business logic, or in this case, game logic. Why not give it to them? It'll make their job easier for them.
