lots of training during on-boarding, so I’m really leaning hard on `$0.playbackRate = 1.7`

@tef.bsky.social is 100% right here. if it breaks in CI it needs to break on the developer’s machine, and as early as possible. on-save for linters is good. post-push-after-waiting-for-CI-to-set-up is bad. be good, not bad
if it's that important, your build scripts should be breaking
if it's part of the ci / test, it's where the worst people you nkow have set up the defaults, they're terrible, and all the code is now filled with // lint:ignore around "calling await in a loop"

In 1968, 13-year-old Mary Beth Tinker was suspended from school for wearing a black armband to protest the Vietnam War.
We took her case all the way to the Supreme Court, which ruled in favor of Mary Beth and students’ right to free speech 56 years ago today.

I am an enormous Simon Willison fanboy and always will be.
Simon Willison genuinely inspires me—his method of learning is creative, persistent, and dedicated to sharing. His LLM year in review is a great example of talking about a burgeoning field in a thoughtful, low-hype, high-value way.
Things we learned about LLMs in 2024

Conservatives don't give a fuck about hypocrisy. All that's happening is it sounds like you're saying it's bad to be queer, and actual queer people hear you saying it

You still have people saying, "I don't see any evidence that Musk is a neo-Nazi." And it's like, I can't know what's in his heart, but he follows them on Twitter, retweets them, promotes their conspiracy theories, parrots their rhetoric, and now recommends their party for Germany. But who knows?
