So basically Trump has only been slightly less disastrous for international tourism than COVID.

You’re gonna be so mad when you realize how easy it was. I personally soak the beans overnight AND do an 8+ hour slow cook, mashing 1/4 of the beans about 3/4 the way through the slow cook.

this monday night, goblins! 🎤🎤🎤 come out from the confines of nor'easter shelter and sing new text sets like trader joe's products, youtube apologies...with a new visual montage mode that will have you screaming "wow i love coming to robot karaoke!" and/or "dark chocolate sticks with crispy rice"

screenshot of robot karaoke in action with the song call me maybe with lyrics from trader joe's products - the lyric "where you think you're going baby" is replaced with "mini apple danish pastries" and around the text are photos of said pastries and all the other items mentioned in the song

Really love "Gary" and his friends whinging about not getting laid because people hate AI and Palantir and completely missing the forest for the trees on the "lying about shit" part as if they're super sneaky and these women can't sniff that shit out?

"[he explained to his date that he worked] at Palantir [because it] allows him to help pay off his parents … medical bills" 2 paragraphs later… "And … he makes up stories … like … the medical debt. His parents don't have any" Palantir may be a symptom, not a cause… www.wired.com/story/tech-b...

Why No One Wants to Date Tech Bros

Once seen as nerdy but harmless innovators, men in tech are now widely regarded as red-pilled Elon Musk wannabes. It’s made getting laid a whole lot harder.

It... did not take a lot of work to get Claude to give me a fun neo-brutalist design on my side project so I am unsure what everyone else is doing except for "nothing" and definitely "not developing a sense of taste"

Waffling between “what did they think would happen” and “haha I’m in danger” as I prep to “launch” my own atproto thing built almost entirely on Claude. So yeah EXACTLY like high school.

Once you notice this, it's the most obvious double standard in the political press. Democrats have to answer for the smallest voice even if it has no actual tie to them, but Republicans never have to answer for the insanely racist billionaire donor driving their entire party.

QQ: when you say "it doesn't want to let me" do you mean that there isn't an option to add additional items when you're using "Add to your shopping list" from the recipe detail view? Or something else?

The “into my pantry” thing is absolutely on the queue of features! Weird on the non grocery items… I’ll poke at that.

I’m keeping an eye on the permissioned data. I’d like to, the concept of households is basically the spaces work. Also lol realizing I never even thought about someone signing on with existent records. I’ll need to bake that into it…

Well I’ve been funneling $100/mo happily at you guys for 2+ years so I’m a fan (also fun fact the in-app experience for Ember is just radix ui themes)

I’ve also been working on @buttery.recipes (caution: it’s maybe 90% functional so file bugs aplenty) to both learn more about ATproto as well as try out more hands off agentic coding techniques I can take with me to whatever is next.

As for what I’ve been doing: myself and a few friends bootstrapped emberhiring.com (happy to talk privately about details). Truly a joy to stretch my product sense, get close with customers again, and reinvigorate my IC chops.

I’ve been a little too heads-down building these last few years… Unfortunately in the past month or two I’ve come to the conclusion that while I’m proud of what I built, my startup has one last swing left and it’s not one that needs me. So I am on the hunt for what’s next, be it leadership or IC.

I'm currently leaning into frameworks as a way to constrain code organization outputs. Recently was having struggles with overly complex code outputs solved by "no, write idiomatic Fastify structures". Frameworks as an opinionated _framework_ certainly helps in human understanding of machine outputs
