I had to go find it to check on the ratio and it's even better 🤌🏻🍿

A Twitter screenshot of Sam Altman saying "cool use of chatgpt work I heard last night: connect your family calendars and explain your kids interests. Every morning for the drive to school, have it make a podcast that talks about only kids soccer game that afternoon, one kids upcoming birthday, some news, etc"

And a reply from Alex Hirsch saying "what is your just talked to your children"

The reply is ratio'ing Sam's post 10K to 112K likes

Saw the pro-shot Hadestown they released in theaters, and I just couldn't get past the historical inaccuracies. The trombone wasn't even invented until the 15th century, how could it reinforce the leitmotif of Persephone's boozy dance numbers in Ancient Greece!?

One of the ironies about AI agents in ops tasks is that it feels like there has never been as much interest in creating a forgiving environment with proper structural support than through promising to remove humans from it, finally forcing a less individualistic and blameful approach to design.

This chart about how civilizations collapse due to diminishing returns of complexity also works amazingly well to describe software. Initially adding more code maps to adding more value but at some point every new feature means new bugs and dependencies until the entire system becomes too brittle.

Now that AshPostgres supports `MERGE`, we can finally have `Ash.update_many/4` in #AshFramework 😎. This allows you to do many row-wise updates each with their own unique input. This differs from `Ash.bulk_update/4` which updates a query or a set of records with *one* set of inputs. 👇

I'm building {insert purpose of your application}.
I want you to do an adverserial review of the codebase
Please run one subagent per file and per focus (performance/security/integrity).
Write your findings to `docs/audit/(performance|security|integrity).md`.
