This is excellent ┄ wonderful trip down memory lane. So glad Hasbro's jumped the shark with MtG or this series would cause me to relapse...

Seeking partners in acquiring MTA MetroCard Vending Machine or MTA MetroCard Express Machine. Would you: 1. Like to contribute to a shared pool to own a piece of history, and/or 2. Have office or studio space that could and would display said piece of history? DMs open.

some news: I’m building a startup! we’re solving coordination by building real infrastructure for your most important asset—your decisions. it’s called Primitive. we can’t wait to share it with you. getprimitive.ai

The adjustable rates on coordination debt are silent, and predatorily large. And payments are due far sooner than expected.

Taylor Hodge @hodge.bsky.social · 27/05/2026
It has never been more critical to move up the ladder of abstraction. Doing so is a lever for improving coordination. And it allows us to get better at getting better.

Important to induce calm and cultivate equanimity during training runs so that weights come to rest in smooth, high quality latent space Just as playing Brandenburg Concertos for plants promotes healthy growth

One more time — I'm looking for new consulting clients. Some ways I can help: ∙ Fractional tech leadership (tackling "leadership debt" in small eng orgs) ∙ Full-stack, 0 to 1 projects ∙ Language design & impl (eg with @ohmjs.org) ∙ JavaScript/TypeScript perf (🔁 appreciated)

AI agents let me move with incredible velocity, but it is easy for my understanding of the codebase to fall hopelessly behind. What got built? How does it work? How might we stay in the loop and avoid gradual disempowerment? Can we build systems that allow understanding to keep pace with creation?

Was so glad to see gospel of canonical log lines/wide effects spread over the holidays ┄ and so disappointing that this is the artifact that did it Especially because the author has an excellent pre-existing post that deserves to be in canon with Brandur and Charity: boristane.com/blog/observa...

That "pop culture" remark is almost certainly mentioned somewhere in there, but the most immediately accessible reference I know of is this interview in Dr. Dobbs: archive.is/CPo7H
