After listening to this interview https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j2BtOxtlJk4 about Mojo I'm bullish on the future of Python. There's good reason why it's such a popular language and Mojo addresses its greatest weakness, speed. 2-3x improvement out of the box + potential 30kX improvement is insane.

I baked with monk fruit extract today. It was surreal adding a gram at a time with it getting exceedingly sweeter with each gram.

There are so many other messaging services. A good alternative for bsky would be a “request contact details” feature. That’s all that’s sent.

Until the end pretty much every conversation Tom has with Greg 1:1 in #Succession from season 1 is really an internal monologue Tom is having with himself.

I’m not into tech that replaces people.

Yes jobs go away because of technological advances, that’s not what I’m talking about.

Tech should help humanity, augment humanity

First attempt, avocado wasn’t soft enough, and the eggs were slightly overdone, not quite gooey inside.

Next time less time poaching, and guacamole is forgiving of slightly hard avocado, and tastier.

Salmon and sourdough were perfect.

Still delicious, so win!

Nothing better for the soul than driving with your best friend in the countryside and getting ice cream.

I have landed here, or ascended skyward here, or whatever metaphor seems best. Testing the waters, er, the atmosphere. Attached, for fun, a photo of the author as a young man, while writing in France, first time. Be not alarmed.

These peanut butter chocolate chip oat cookies are some of the most delicious cookies I’ve ever made.

And if your LDL is spiking, they’re likely to help lower it too.

You may remember my post from Thursday about how I was laid off with 20% of Shopify.

This is what I'm looking to do next.

btw, I did take that photo myself, from an open door helicopter.
What I want to do next
After sharing that I was laid off this past week along with 20% of Shopify I was asked what I want to do next. TLDR I'm eager to build and/or lead a team as a software engineering manager or technical lead in a company that embraces best development practices and is working to expand the…
