I feel like I've got some djinni curse because I absolutely love the idea of Effect but every single time I go to try experimenting with it again I get lost because apparently yet again I'm trying to do the one simple thing that somehow doesn't have any docs

Things that don't mean you're insecure: ✅ taking selfies ✅ posting about your successes ✅ asking for help when you need it Things that do mean you're insecure: 🛑 submitting personal information over a http request

Listening to the Dungeon Crawler Carl audiobooks and one of my first thoughts was that the narrator sounded like Patrick Warburton. You'll never guess who shows up in audiobook #6 🤯

The urge to start a podcast is equivalent to the urge to create a DSL* * (a domain-specific language, which is something the most genius and widely loved programmers do, everybody's stoked when I do it)

for the second flight in a row I got a window seat without a window

generative AI is the modern Pandora's box

Josh DeGraw @degraw.dev · 26/05/2025

Yeah I'm curious about this as well. Like will there be a language that's designed for optimal LLM generation?

Josh DeGraw @degraw.dev · 26/05/2025

Like I was already senior and just became a tech lead so I just kinda skimmed the midlevel and senior sections and skipped straight to the tech lead and staff sections, so I missed some good nuggets in there

Rereading the Software Engineers Guidebook by @gergely.pragmaticengineer.com and it’s illuminating seeing what stands out now being relatively newer at a company than when I first read it as a tech lead and several years of experience at a company already. Lots of good advice, strongly recommend

Sometimes I worry that I've spent too much time being interested by languages themselves and not enough about what to actually build. Especially with all the AI going on I think for better or worse language choice is going to matter even less in the near future

This blog is SO good at pointing out what should have been obvious about AI for coding (Copilot and others) These tools are good for re-creating whatever they’ve been trained on. They are not what will create the next, better generation of frameworks, libraries, technologies.

the best part of mobile dev is the build times and constantly switching between 4 different languages

in retrospect it's kinda messed up that ash never named any of his pokemon. it's like getting a dog and just calling it dog

Me, after finishing Wind and Truth: "wow, Michael Kramer narrated pretty much every book in the cosmere! That was awesome but it'll be fun to hear some new narrators and different voices after hearing the same guy for so long" The literal next audiobook I decide to listen to, somehow:

The Shadow of what was lost
Performed by Michael Kramer

Josh DeGraw @degraw.dev · 01/03/2025

So I finally just finished book 7 and I have to say 1. How dare you 2. Why would you do this to me 🤠💥😭😭 3. I can't believe I put it off for so long

Josh DeGraw @degraw.dev · 26/01/2025

Dang ur full of hot takes lol I definitely vibe w steris but I'm sorry she's not even top 10 😭

Josh DeGraw @degraw.dev · 26/01/2025

Definitely a hot take lol. I've liked it alright so far but I got like halfway into shadows of self and got stuck and just haven't finished it yet lol. It's good but it just hasn't GRIPPED me yet like era 1. Wax just isn't as charismatic as Vin tbh. Wayne's my boi tho

Josh DeGraw @degraw.dev · 26/01/2025

Yeah its like I get almost into a meditative state and I lose track of time and space lol it's honestly insane sometimes (mistborn era 1 is also goated)

snow is a bunch of small ice, and geologically ice is rocks, so technically snow == sand. and since sand is land, snow == ice land qed

Went skiing again today for the first time in like 15 years (prefer snowboarding, but haven't done that in like 10 years either) 1. I re-solidified my preference for snowboarding 2. I really got what I paid for with the $10 ski boots I managed to find lmao 3. I hurt
