(1/6) So a story... I've been using todo list apps for most of my life. I have two young kids, a ~2,500 square foot house, 2 cars, and I do EVERYTHING myself. I change my own oil, cut my grass, clean... keeping the workload manageable is a lot. It's a lot. 😫

Claude Code is sick, and I mean that both as a compliment and potentially as a mental diagnosis.

One of the best live performances ever caught on video IMHO. There’s two types of people in this world: people I want to know and people that can’t get down to this.
RIP.

I hear stories about people not being able to reliably seed a DB in dev and I honestly wonder how tf those people even work because I probably blow my DB up and start over a dozen times a day when I'm rolling.

It’s funny… I never achieved this on my last product because the pressure for more features always won out, but I wanted to and in retrospect it may have led to more of the outcome we wanted. Limited perfection is often better than unlimited mediocrity, in life and in software.
How many exceptions do you tolerate in production? joel.drapper.me/no-exceptions/
No Exceptions
There’s no acceptable level of runtime exceptions any of us should be putting up with.

If I learned anything about economics from COVID: price fluctuations based on external factors turn into an experiment in price elasticity, and businesses capitalize on this.
He can do whatever he wants with tariff policy. Some of this is going to endure, and your prices have now gone up forever.

It’s a ploy to create an R advantage at the margins in exchange for voter convenience. You cannot look up from the paper that bill was printed on and not see that. They don’t rail against nonexistent voter suppression for the lolz.
But you know all of this, don’t you? You’re a politician alright.

🧵 There are a lot of misleading claims out there about the SAVE Act. Let me set the record straight: I voted for the SAVE Act for the simple reason that American elections are for Americans. Requiring proof of citizenship to register to vote is common sense.

As a shame-riddled American, this is really satisfying my current masochism. I wonder how long this can go on before even Republicans are forced to check this insane moron. Xi, somewhere, laughing hysterically.

Some random thoughts on software as more people start vibe coding in LLMs:
Imperative coding will start taking a back seat to more declarative coding. Frameworks like @avohq.io will become more important was we “care less about code”, but need it to “Just Work”™

I got a soil test this year for the first time. I knew my soil is not great. The only thing I can grow consistently is moss. Having said that, I didn't expect to have to lay down 115 LBS OF FERTILIZER. I hope this works!

Released relayui.com 0.3.0 last night. h/t @michaelhebblethwaite.com and @mangara42.bsky.social, big focus in this release was nav and responsiveness. Not 100% dialed in but close, and the mobile experience is a lot better now. Basically comes with a fully responsive page layout/nav OOTB.

This kind of strikes me as showing your hand... if you weren't sure if the whole #TeslaTakedown thing was painful for Elon, he has Sean F'n Hannity hawking his wares on social. What if THIS doesn't work? Is Lee Greenwood going to write a song about hangin' 'round the bonfire in a Cybertruck bed?

I've become so familiar w/ @tailwindcss.com that I've stopped using Figma. I'm convinced now that it is more expensive (from a time perspective) to compose a UI in Figma and have to convert to code than to just start with code. Iteration is fast once you learn Tailwind's classes.
