Had a great time giving my first two Confrence talks at #kcdc. Thank you to the @kcdc.bsky.social team for giving me this opportunity, and for everyone who came to them! Met a lot of great people and listened to a lot of great talks.

Well i guess im officially a speaker at @kcdc.bsky.social this year! Im excited to give talks alongside some really great speakers and engineers. Can’t wait to get down to KCDC.

It’ll also be my first time in Kansas City, and I’m really looking forward to trying some of that BBQ.

AI search tools that sumarize websites need to be heavily regulated. They’re bad for both consumers and they’re bad for publishers. They steal content and traffic from publishers, de-incentivizing them to publish content, while also opaquely injecting their opinions on consumers.

Just remember this tariff war didn’t need to be started, it’s all stupid and now you’ve got a gorilla banging its chest with no off ramp.

As the economic news keeps coming out over the coming weeks keep one thing in mind: this is the fault of one man and didn’t need to happen.

It's interesting how many developers, when I talk about coupling and cohesion, assume I'm talking about object-oriented architecture.

Almost as interesting as how many devs seem to believe coupling and cohesion only have an impact on OO code.

I liken high coupling in system designs to Type 2 diabetes.

It's estimated half a million people in the UK have it, but don't realise that's what's causing their symptoms (I used to be one of them).

I see a *lot* of orgs who experience symptoms of bad modular design, but don't realise the cause.

Man, seeing americans all around, esp. liberals not knowing what to do beyond voting is just so depressing. Their empire is dying, the new global dynamic is moving on without them, people are starting to disappear and their only hope of opposition just voted for what is essentially an enabling act.

If you let the executive deport people to a foreign gulag just by pronouncing the word “terrorism,” then expect to be called a “terrorist” soon yourself.

When asked if there is going to be a recession this year, Trump responded "I hate to predict things like that," and that Americans should expect to feel pain for a little bit. I love feeling pain in my retirement accounts!

Can we have Biden back as president? I mean sure he was old, ineffectual at times, and tripped over his words, but at least my portfolio wasn't down 6% over the course of a month. Is this winning? Because I decided I don't actually like winning.

Farmers are going to run to Congress for another handout to deal with the retaliatory tariffs and the answer from Dems has to be "no."

This isn't out of retribution, it's because we can't keep creating escape hatches for GOP members of Congress. For the benefit of all, keep the pressure on them.

This is probably only one of only two, maybe three halftime shows ever which actually have an artistic point of view beyond “here are my greatest hits”. It’s already extraordinary.

Some of the same people who laud our constitutional republic as a Divine Manifest need to read the federalist papers, specifically federalist no1.

Paraphrasing here: “it will be forgotten that government protects our liberty, and a dangerous ambition hides behind a zeal for firmness and efficiency”

The "peace candidate" Trump wants to force 2 million Palestinians from their homes, give another $1 billion in weapons to Netanyahu, and enact a "plan" to turn the decimated Gaza strip into a billionaires' Riviera.

If this is his "peace" policy, I'd hate to see his war policy.
