The "tax resolution department" scam people have clearly identified me as a mark who will eventually fall for it if they call me enough times.

A technology leader told me today they are not getting as many people to try #ai as they would like because engineers don't blindly trust the LLM.

When you #selfhost, you will never have any problems with #aws being down.
All you have to do is:
- Ensure you have a decent power supply
- Have your own servers
- Be able to troubleshoot networking issues at 3AM because your electronic lock won't release and your child can't get in the house
- […]

Today is my first day at AWS.

I noticed a small bug in DynamoDB clustering implementation and I think I fixed it.

Shipped to prod already.

Going to make a coffee and will check back if everything is working.

It's that time of year again.

There is a major disruption to the Internet and suddenly everyone is an expert on why people made architectural decisions that they know nothing about and then explain how you're clearly doing it wrong.

Me to many clients: if […]

People talk shit about California drivers, but you know what I've not experienced here? Road rage.

Yes, people here do stupid shit, like constantly, but they're also very chill. People let others merge, they move out of the way, and generally try to be courteous to others. It was the first […]

Shout out to people who love ebooks but hate Amazon:

Bookshop.org has started doing eBooks! They have an app! They have classics for free! They have daily 99p deals!

Much excite!

This is a good summary of how the vaguely odious vibes that DHH has been giving off for a decade have boiled over. If you don’t know who that is/don’t have any personal investment in Ruby, you have my blessing to keep scrolling and not worry about it […]

I just saw someone wrote that developers might feel more productive with AI...

But everyone also insists that they are that one exception who is actually good at multitasking.

And that's going to be living rent-free in my head for quite some time.

I was explaining to someone how us nerds often get to have cool stuff years before consumers because we can run it.

One of my favorites that only we get to have, is the Lyrion Music Server (https://lyrion.org/), which I've had forever and only yesterday realized it's not a music Server, it's a […]

“What the hell are the Beatles trying to do to pop music? On listening to their new album I was so shocked that I lost all appreciation of the Beatles talents. Any normal musically inclined person could never hope to like this kind of stuff. If this is a new era the group are trying to create […]

The MMR vaccine is perfectly safe. Measles is not.

MMR vaccine- studied for more than 50 years. Less than 1 in 1,000,000 chance of allergic reaction. No chance of death or permanent injury. NO evidence of increased risk of autism.

Measles- 1 in 5 will die without hospitalization. 1 in 500 will […]

Please excuse the Substack link, but given that "84% of developers now use or plan to use AI tools"*, it is interesting to see measurable proof that this does not translate to increased productivity.

"We should be seeing apps of all shapes and sizes, video games, new websites, mobile apps […]

These are extremely important observations about the AI bubble. But I have to admit that what the article says about them is probably true: the people who don't understand that what's written here is obviously true probably can't be convinced to listen, and the people who do understand don't […]
