We need pictures of my cats right now to just be out there. They are cute, snuggly, playful, and hopefully care free. They’ve been awesome companions/familiars. #cat #cats #catsofbluesky #snuggle #cuddle #escapereality

Heads-deep into #golang based #ML and #AI libs. I know, I know. I'm just not a big fan of python. I'll learn it... one day. ;)

I can't control the world around me, but I can define the person I want to be, and how I contribute to making the world a better place.

I'll spend my days doing that work with intentionality.

I don’t like discussing politics anymore. I just want to put this neutral nugget out into the fediverse: the worst thing anyone can do is fight reality. Accept reality, analyze the new context(s) in life, and proceed. Build. Create. Prosper. Learn. Just as before. ❤️

This is one of the first that came out of that—integrating dbt, airflow, and superset into a single portal with permission management and multi-user context.

Disclosure: I have worked on it for a year. Try it yourself, getting started with the single docker-compose cmd.

Great idea for anyone struggling to do their early morning workouts!
Daylight savings folks — If you’ve been wanting to workout before work, but have struggled to make it happen, now is a great time to do it. Wake up tomorrow like the time didn’t fall back and it’ll be easier for you to integrate the workout into the beginning of your day.

The strange generational hate against object oriented programming / design is…strange.

A lot of the hate seems pointed at inheritance. Yeah, inheritance is so abused, especially among junior devs.

It’s not the tool (OOP), nor the artisan (dev) at fault here. It’s my generation (X). Bad mentoring.

If you work on the AT Protocol, including the documentation, I just want to say thanks. Your work is important and so are you.
