Loved this episode with @jayroh.dev on maintainability & predictability. And yes — it’s imgproxy, not ImageProxy 😉 Great example of how to migrate safely with adapters + feature flags instead of risky rewrites: buff.ly/oisS8Ng

Imagine if high school English classes did some psychological Jedi mind-trick shit and made kids think they *chose* the book instead of being forced to read it? Call it a “book club” instead of “homework”? Assign my Moby Dick? FOH Make me think it’s pleasure reading? LFG kombucha girl meme.jpg

@pfrazee.com I have an important question. Favorite thing about your experience at U of Hartford? (So random that you went to Uha. It’s like … you and Vin Baker. Full disclosure: UHA ‘99 over here.)

I decided to shut down the thing (shubox.io) I've worked on in my spare time for the past 9+ years: joeloliveira.com/2025/09/22/d... In retrospect, this was overdue, and the relief I feel in the wake of that decision is immeasurable. I don't regret a thing.

The cicada situation in lower #CapeCod is wild shit. Mashpee / Falmouth - they are LOUD, and all over the place. After a couple of hours they kind of recede into the background, but at first - jeez.

Consider - my parents were faced with this same realization when I was a boy and moved us from Brazil to the USA when I was 5(ish). They dealt with this. My father never got his sea-legs and returned to BR while my mother stayed in the US as a single mother with 3 children. It’s a weird time rn.

That’s 2 friends/colleagues in the last month that have had enough and are gtfo’ing this country. Not for ideological reasons but, instead, real reasons to be scared for themselves and their loved ones. “We can’t do it anymore” So sad. AND, has made me wonder - what’s my threshold?

Start small. Give yourself SMALL goals you can complete quickly, while inspiration and courage hold out. There ARE people whose first writing work is a series of epic novels. But they are rare. When you are starting, make a goal of a page, a paragraph, even a sentence. Completion is triumph.

@zmh.bsky.social yours is the only clay-related account I could find, so forgive me for @'ing you, personally. But I have a Q The Clay marketing site says Clay personal is "Free". Then when you sign up and start the on-boarding process it asks for a CC and states that there is a 14 day trial. Why?

Great read - zachholman.com/posts/red-teams As someone who works on a growth team that interfaces with marketing a LOT - I concur that someone with aggressive ad blocking should be deployed (against the torrent of GTM traffic) internally on the regular.
