Hi, I’m Joe! I used to work @ Twitter on all the hard things like misinformation, disinformation, harassment, and civic integrity. I also spent a ton of effort on little improvements to make people’s lives better. These days I’m an indie developer making it easy to save links for later, with Plinky.

Sleepy baby cat is exhausted from all the Christmas. I've never asked Maiori her religion and I don't want to assume she's Jewish like me, so I'll simply say merry Christmas to all who celebrate. 🎄

This still is one of the simplest and cost-effective ways to use ChatGPT. I saved $14 off an infrared sauna visit* simply by asking for a promo code and finding one that would have otherwise been hidden.

It's illegal to give alcoholic drinks to a moose in Fairbanks, Alaska. It's also illegal to drop a moose from an airplane. It turns out it's illegal to do a lot of things in Fairbanks, and only some of them are moose related…
These Weird Laws In Alaska Will Leave You Scratching Your Head
Weird laws in Alaska still exist to this very day. You can't even push a moose out of an airplane or feed them alcohol... what?!

It's a Christmas surprise! My AI (Without the Hype) talk from @nsspain.bsky.social is now available to everyone.
I'm not saying you should ignore your family on Christmas Eve, but if you're looking to learn a lot about AI once the mice are no longer stirring — I think you'll really enjoy my talk.

Do you prefer Claude Code to Codex? Or maybe it's the other way around. I wrote a blog post that doesn't aim to debate which one is best, but offers a hypothesis for why people seem to gravitate towards one or the other. (Spoiler alert: I offer no theories about people who prefer Gemini.)

I loved reading this article. Especially the part where they talk about my high school, which is once again home to the same lunch time poker games that we played when I was a student 18 years ago.

This was one of my favorite workshops yet because Hiro isn’t a developer, a designer, or product adjacent at all. His job is in sales and in less than three hours I was able to teach him how to build the personal app he wanted. To quote Hiro “I feel energized”, and you can see he’s “super inspired”.
Just took a killer AI workshop with @mergesort.me -- super inspiring! More details on this soon...

Do dolphins have names? Well not exactly, but scientists recorded wild dolphins and played their signature whistles back to them. The dolphins responded to their whistles but ignored unfamiliar ones — knowing that they specifically were being called.
Dolphins Can Call Each Other, Not by Name, But by Whistle
