Bluesky! Help me find a home for our beautiful, sweet foster kitty Leon. He’s a very chill 1 year old boy who loves attention and is great with other cats. Looking for his forever home now in and around San Francisco.

With SNAP in jeopardy due to the government shutdown, now is a really good time to make a donation to your local food bank.

I feel lucky I grew up watching the explosion of the internet, culminating in the ubiquity of smart phones. Connecting humanity was our generation’s moon landing.

I feel cursed living through the innovation drought. Everything today feels designed to exploit the connected.

I think the people most impressed by LLM knowledge grew up after the web was ruined by SEO and Google was destroyed from within. They aren’t used to typing a question into a box and getting an answer without bullshit.

I’m just so bored of where tech is going. It’s like LLMs sucked all the air out of the room.

Requiem for the Rangefinder: An iPhone Air Review
Last week I set out to write a few thousand words on the iPhone Air, but it turns out I only need three: the lesser iPhone. Compared to the Pro and baseline models, it has fewer cameras and a smaller ...

Jake's made a great synopsis of DHH. I first met DHH almost 25 years ago, spoke at his office, helped promote his products, hosted him at events. DHH thinks you can tell by *looking* whether someone is a "native". Because he thinks people who look like me can never belong to our countries. Fuck him.

It's rare to find openings for junior roles on teams that make a huge impact like this. If you know a great junior dev, pass it on!
If you like what you see in the #iPhone17 cameras, come work with me at Apple Park!
My team drives the photo pipeline and has a new position open to early-career engineers (minimum 0-3 years of experience).
Whenever you see a “Shot on iPhone” billboard, you see our work; it could be your work too.🧵

The right's celebration over Jimmy Kimmel's censorship boils down to, "He was lying!" Kimmel shared an opinion. These people can't tell the difference between an opinion and a fact.

Playing with “Red Scale” film. The emulsion is reversed, so cyan receives the most light. #BelieveInFilm
