Do I know anyone who works at #Slack? If so, can they make an awesome new feature that let's me merge channels to reduce the friggin sprawl I'm dealing with for the duplicate topic channels I keep getting added to? That would be so incredible!

I got a new kitten today!!! I'm so excited! He's 5 months old and was named Spirit. I like the name so I think we'll keep it but we'll see what my kid says when he gets home. 💖😁😹

Two KubeCons, One Conference: While Everyone Demos AI Agents, Engineers Are Fighting With Syslogs
I think this is one of the reason I have not been at many conferences, but rather to barcamps in the last years - you hear the status quo.

I've been off social media for a while now for a mental break, but I'm back this week to watch the #kubecon feeds. Still avoiding the main feed though. Geez I wish I was in Atlanta with everyone! FOMO is real

Love this: "Apple could, rather than creating golden bribes for child sexual predators, actually send a message to its users explaining that it would like to continue providing value to its customers, and ask those customers for help making that case to their elected officials"

I can't believe looking Hispanic or speaking Spanish is now evidence of a crime. That's next level racist bullshit!
On the flip side, does that mean we can start arresting the ultra rich on suspicion of embezzlement & other crimes just because they are rich? That's what that ruling implies, right?

So weird how no one invented "looking busy at work despite not being busy" until recently. You'd think someone would've come up with that before now, but no, it's a new trend, with a name that is definitely real and commonly used.

The president of the United States just declared war, actual military war, not a metaphorical one, on a major American city, and one governed by his political opponents.
In any other period, this would be impeachment-worthy.

Spent my video game hour today playing the Anno 117: Pax Romana demo. It was only an hour so I don't have much of an opinion yet but for whatever reason even though that style game is my jam, I just can't figure out the money making mechanics on it & I always go broke. 😢

This is just ridiculous. This kind of pay package is just farcical and an insult to the company employees. No one deserves or needs this sort of compensation package. You could end world hunger for this kind of money.

I got to say, I've been really happy with bearable.app. It's really helped me understand & track my mood/pain the last 2-3 months. Even though I'm on the mend physically I think I'm going to keep using it for mood tracking. The insights/correlations have been really useful.

Do we have metrics on how often LLMs generate similar blocks of code across the industry? Most software being developed isn't unique, and it seems we'd be better served by new frameworks, and higher level abstractions.
But then we're back to the discovery problem, something LLMs seem to help with.
