Last night I dreamt that cinnamon churros turned out to be the cure for zombie-ism. So we got that going for us.

For the first time ever, I had to make a payment in crypto.

I can now confidently say that crypto payments combine the speed of a dial up modem and the ease of updating the drivers on a 1998 HP Laserjet printer.

There are two types of people: those who constantly force close any mobile apps not in use, and those who patiently explain, over and over again, why the first group is wrong.

Throwing some financial support toward @python.org? Excellent!

If you are a #Django user, consider also supporting the DSF.

The Django Software Foundation has been running a fundraiser for the past couple weeks. It ends it 5 days.

No one ever told me that parenting teens meant I get to play the, “was that sound an intruder or is my kid making a 2 AM snack” game.

Let’s crunch some numbers.

- We live in the Midwest, so lower cost of living.
- We budget and track our spending; I’ve got good numbers on our groceries.
- We’re a family of four with two teens. Pretty average American family.
- We clip coupons and shop Meijer/Aldi, not Whole Foods.

Pretty amazing audio of an encounter between a Spirit flight (NK1300) and Air Force 1. The flight controller keeps instructing NK1300 to change course and stay away from AF1, but NK1300 isn’t paying attention.
Here is the audio, courtesy of @theneware51 on Twitter!

Python type safety lightbulb moment: mypy = compile-time safety Pydantic = runtime safety

Helped a client shift domain knowledge from heads → codebase with this combo. https://link.testdouble.com/769eb9

No more "wait, what does this field contain?" moments 🎯

For years I've received text messages from various North Carolina GOP and conservative groups. I live in Indiana.

I've never lived in North Carolina and have no idea how my number has ended up on political SMS lists. I have ZERO sympathy for the NRSC. 🎻

Hot 🔥 pizza 🍕 takes:

1. Detroit crushes both Chicago and New York.
2. There is no better salty-and-sweet flavor combo than pineapple and bacon.

Pineapple and bacon Detroit-style pizza is peak pizza.
