OSS nerd. JavaScript Stockholm syndrome survivor. Music collector. Leftist.

Big fan of what BlueSky is doing, but microblogging is decidedly not great for my brain, so do not expect much from me here.
Instagram's iOS app has decided to play the closing music from Hereditary every time I open it today, so I guess I don't use Instagram any more.

@mikerugnetta.com on Never Post a few weeks ago you mentioned offhand the name of a mobile puzzle app that you recommend... I can't remember the episode, or the name of the app!

I don't know which secretly ailing celebrity sits at the third point on the Diane Keeton/D'Angelo triangle, but someone please keep an eye on Springsteen and Tom Waits.

I built the Elasticsearch Gemini CLI extension mentioned here. Google made it easy for me to roll something stable out very quickly, which is not always how LLM integrations go, so props to the Gemini CLI devs for that.

Now open for building: Introducing Gemini CLI extensions
Make Gemini CLI uniquely yours by connecting it to your everyday workflows and the tools you use most.

The daily discovery algorithm gave me "Jesus Christ" by Brand New, Imogen Heap's "Hide and Seek," and "Anthems For a Seventeen Year Old Girl" by Broken Social Scene, all in a row. Because apparently it doesn't understand I was a legal adult listening to these songs when they first came out?

Gun deaths are bad. But the only good Nazi is a dead Nazi.

Sometimes you have to embrace contradicting ideas. If we can think about sexuality, gender and identity on a non-binary spectrum, certainly we can apply that thinking to how we address violence and fascism.

Why aren't the youths playing some gen alpha version of Slug Bug when they see a Cybertruck? I'm disappointed.

Google just informed me that I'm an engineering manager at Tailscale. What up @tailscale.com.

AWS announcing their MCP server marketplace at AWS Summit in NYC. Behind the Elastic logo is what I've been working on over the last few weeks, with @joshmock.com's invaluable help to adapt to AWS constraints and process.

I guess now is a good time to make my second post to Bluesky, if only to reiterate the message of my first.
Fuck Nazis.
