I saw Return of the Jedi at the SF symphony last night. My wife and I are hoping they perfore The Phantom Menace just so we get to see Duel of Fates live

This quote is confusing. The taxes are due regardless and this does not change the fraction of vested shares employees hold onto. It just changes how Alphabet funds the tax withholdings.

I'm addicted to Chia pudding lately. So good.

I can ask about getting the documentation updated. I don’t work on this stuff directly. I just know some of the right people via adjacent work.

I think you can remain (un)reasonably upset. The API is added in 37 and technically it's also in an extension to 37 which does not make sense. This set of APIs is opted into SDK extensions. So when 38 rolls around it's possible that new APIs are backed to 37 in the C extension.

I’m gonna stop arguing on the internet and go outside. Have a good day.

A compiler is deterministic and runs on my machine. Some company cannot ban me from using a compiler.

To me there’s just a fundamental difference in outsourcing the understanding of code I’m responsible for and tools that just help with the mechanics of things like deployment.

And when Claude goes down do you just wait around while things are broken?

Andrew Sinclair @andrewjsinclair.com · 08/03/2026

What about maintenance? Who fixes all these features when they break when there are 10x as many as before?

How will you debug your service when Claude is having an outage at the same time you’re having a production outage?

Took me 6 months, multiple calls, and an email to my Congressional representative to figure out the minor error that kept the IRS from sending me my refund. It also took several phone calls to sort out a health insurance issue I knew the insurance company was wrong about.

When is the Appeals Court case supposed to be decided?

I just love dealing with Health Insurance claim denials. I especially love explaining exactly why the denial is invalid and the claim needs to be run again over and over

I would not have imagined Republicans hating LA more than San Francisco before all of this

So far all of our PMs seem to be bailing to go work on AI products. I think PMs love AI because it gives them more content for their LinkedIn posting.

Isn't the legal justification for the tariffs that trade deficits are an emergency? How does that square with the reasoning here. Hoping that trial on the 31st goes somewhere.

Hilarious. That one Twilight Zone episode playing over and over in their nightmares.

Too bad the code review UI is not good at all.

Resisting the urge to ask someone on Photos Android the next time I meet with them.

The CapEx spend on GPUs also seems to be crowding out the CPU based datacenter budgets. We're being asked to do more with significantly less growth in machine resourcing than prior years.
