Also: could anyone recommend any California-based probate lawyers who are kind and caring? My previous lawyer is too busy to help. I need help expensing to these institutions what a California spousal property petition is. CC: @joshchafetz.bsky.social

A few things: I hope it doesn’t happen to you, but at some point you’re going to have to deal with a financial institutions team dedicated to handling progresses related to dead people. They are going to be the most bored, soulless humans on earth. It is going to make you feel so deeply sad.

What is the point of Microsoft Azure? Does it do anything better than AWS/GCP? Even its UI sucks.

The past two weeks have been insane. I have barely slept more than a few hours. But our product launches tomorrow and I couldn’t be prouder or happier.

Ah, yes. There are some complications with that. But I think I found a workaround. Standby.

I’ve tried that but GitHub won’t let you change your runner while in a weird billing state.

Do I know anyone at GitHub? My entire organization’s access to GitHub Actions is blocked because my corporate credit card has a $50o limit and I spent $509 on Friday. I’ve added my own credit card. Set the budget to $5000. Nothing is restoring access. I have a support ticket out but 🦗🦗🦗

the more so-called AI safety discourse I read the more I respect the driving automation technology sector's ability to understand that killing people with immature technology would destroy the entire opportunity they are pursuing

When my husband died suddenly, half my household income disappeared overnight. I panicked and reached for what I thought were stable, boring jobs. They weren’t stable, and I was miserable. As a founder, I’m paying myself minimum wage until we raise. I’m also happier than I can remember being.

This is my third wedding anniversary since my husband passed away. It's a bittersweet day. If you know me IRL, I'd be grateful for a hello. If you don't know me in person, I'd be grateful for a cute animal or nature photo. Thanks for the support over these years.
