We have some trees in the neighborhood that boast all autumn 🍂 colors from green to yellow to red and it’s amazing to bike through the streets in the morning.

what I love about e-bikes and the world of small electric mobility is that it is a full scale transportation revolution no one saw coming but that nonetheless has the power to address air pollution death & illness, climate change, traffic violence, affordability, and also social isolation & anxiety

want to force me to add even more cargo weight to my bike?

i will match all donations to the TCAA (or your local food bank) on my #cranksgiving ride on November 15!

donate, send me a screenshot and i’ll spend that much on the ride and haul it all by bike.

Hey, THANK YOU JSConf! 💙

To everyone who shared their ideas, sang way too hard at karaoke, and made the hallway track feel like a family reunion... you’re the best.

That's a wrap 👏

Trying to define an AI-first language with Claude.

Ironically, you can't just ask an LLM what works best for it. It's not "conscious" (in any sense of the word) and can't reflect on that. It doesn't "like" anything. Any response comes from training data/resources.

Also, I need less of a yes-man.
