The image of an eagle terrorizing the goose that the Whitehouse posted has actual footage of the goose eventually winning 😆. If this isn't a metaphor for US trade policy then I don't know what is. www.youtube.com/watch?v=yIja...

Is it possible that Mark Carney might be the most powerful person in the world (albeit briefly)? Power isn’t just military. It’s leverage. It’s trade. It’s relationships.

It's sad watching what's happening between Canada and the US. This is a vital moment between both countries but one side is seeking to diminish the other. This is not what allies do. Glad to see Canada standing up to a bully. It was the right move. It will come at a cost, but we have no choice. 🇨🇦

This represents many years of hard work by Ryan and our maintainers. Very proud to get this out the door. Give 2.0 a spin while it’s in RC and report any bugs on Discord! Let’s get this shipped officially 💪

Ugh, I just watched a Musk interview and what he's saying about a zero-cost society is kind of spot on. After feasting off Drexler and similar futurist authors for decades I do believe technology will bring us there. I fear Musk and other billionaires tainting those ideas by just talking about it.

I'm late on my quarterly ERP rant, so here it is... For the love of god someone please disrupt the *whole* ERP industry. It's ripe for change. Don't make me spend the next few years of my life tackling this problem, it doesn't look fun :p

Heading back to Toronto from spending a weekend in #Halifax (Nova Scotia) at a tournament. Makes you realise how amazing other parts of Canada are. The food, the people, the weather. Thanks for a beautiful weekend. I’ll be back soon! I’ve neglected the Maritimes.

I don’t think I’ve ever been more disappointed with Americans. It’s turning into a much deeper harder feeling to shake. We’re suffering from wildfires and they’re turning to politics. When the US was down on its luck with California fires and 9/11 we helped. We are down and they’re kicking us.

So Canadian tax payers have to eat billions of the cost and risk but give 50% to the US just…because? Then they call us “allies” while basically extorting the situation. What amazing allies we have.

About once a year I rant about the state of ERP platforms. I'm due for one so here it is. The ERP industry has to be the most deficient niche I've seen in the software industry. Every project seems to be death by a thousand cuts due to legacy/deficient software and horribly archaic process.
