Simon talking about systems theory changed how I approach problems at work, and it’s been so helpful. Highly recommend getting along to hear him if you can!

Also, unloading the dishwasher. I am totally good with loading it. But unloading it stops my in my tracks.

This sums up my feelings on the term "content creator" so well.

I've used Nimbus on a few projects and it's always a pleasure.

Thank you! LavinMQ seems super slick, I should spin up a CloudAMQP account and play around. I'm in contact with Lovisa too.

I rode the bike again!

DamianM @damianm.com · 10/06/2026

I've found the mental hack to force myself out of bed to ride my bike by myself in the morning. If I don't ride in the morning, I'll run in the evening. I hate running so much. So this morning: "I don't want to ride" "I could go back to bed and run tonight" "Fuck that, I'll RIDE THE BIKE NOW".

This is cool. I've built a few text search implementations using Marten and some materialized views on the JSON and a Gin index. I was scoping out something similar with pgvector this week. Is there anything Postgres can't do.

I can't decide whether I want to watch Star City, I suspect it won't live up to the first few For All Mankind seasons.

DamianM @damianm.com · 02/06/2026

Agreed. We just finished the last season, I thought that the one before it was actually worse, but it was almost a hate watch to completion.

Nostalgic today listening to the release of an album from one of Jackie Orszaczky's gigs at the Rose in 2001. Anybody who witnessed a Tuesday night at the Rose in that era will remember them as nothing short of magic. Listening to this puts me right back in the bar tidal.com/album/521333...

I’ve just been doing some relatively unscientific benchmarks. And holy crap NATS is quick. NATS core is not much slower than just in memory message handling, and even with JetStream persistence turned on it’s much faster than Redis.

I saw somebody recently got stung by one of these, they even went to the effort of showing up to a video interview before sending the code link.
