Sometimes I hope that the youtube PM who decided that after 10 search results you will get completely unrelated videos is having a bad day.

Git hooks (pre-commit, pre-push) should be a nice-to-have for your coding and commit pipeline.
They should absolutely not be an integral step of your process. Don't try to run code-gen or enforce formatting in hooks. Hooks are optional, CI is for enforcement.

Picked up a #Creality K1C 3d printer over the long weekend. The first few days it was great but then I noticed that circles were squashed into ovals. Even worse was that the squashed direction depended on the rotational direction of the line path.
Turns out this is a relatively common problem: 🧵

I'm probably late to the party, but one of my favorite things I've found recently is that 'firmware' for almost every device is now just a Linux OS. It’s so much easier to tinker with hardware when you have a full OS to build on top of.

Pretty crazy that with 64Gb of RAM you can run a 70 billion parameter LLM with the distillation of all human knowledge, or a moderately sized project in any Adobe program

Still amazed every time I fly JetBlue that their entertainment screens seem to be running over analog video and that the touchscreens probably have to round-trip to an onboard server.

I grew my B2C SAAS startup MRR by 2600% in just 8 months. Here's my secret:
Start low.
I only made $5 the first month. By strategically keeping initial revenue low you can advertise huge percentage increases with only small increases in actual revenue.

Have we decided if this is new Twitter now? Threads has some new "issues" and is just so full of internet contrarians who think their opinion is valuable enough to reply to everyone.

Worked through this really great article last year to write some bezier curve fitting logic. Would highly recommend if you want to see a really clean example of linear algebra and some matrix calculus.
