Note that it's not just 1Password that is supporting DHH. A good writeup here, with lots of receipts brennan.day/normalized-f...

There are twelve "Founding Patrons" pledging a million dollars apiece:

Tobi Lütke, CEO of Shopify
Patrick Collison, CEO of Stripe
Michael Dell, Chairman and CEO of Dell Technologies
Jack Dorsey, Block Head and Chairman of Block
Matthew Prince, CEO of Cloudflare
Brendan Iribe, Cofounder of Sesame and Oculus
Jason Fried, CEO of 37signals
Drew Houston, cofounder and co-CEO of Dropbox
Peter Steinberger, creator of OpenClaw
Brian Armstrong, CEO of Coinbase
Yunjie Dai, cofounder of TapTap
DHH himself.

And these corporations are each contributing $100,000 a year for three years:

1Password
37signals

A dozen of the most powerful executives in tech looked at a man who wrote that a British march calling for the deportation of non-white citizens was "heartwarming," and decided he was the person they wanted to hand a multimillion-dollar foundation to.

Feeling like a boomer currently and seeing how hard it is for my daughter to get a weekend job. My memory maybe wrong but I had a few as a teenager, I applied, got the job, simple. Today seems like an insurance nightmare for companies, ghosting is rampant and HR gross negligence.

If your service says "login and contact support" and your users have a login problem, I guess that's one way to keep your ticket numbers low but a great way for people not to recommend your service. Stripe and Sendgrid I'm looking at you!

Was thinking about learning a new programming language and then read posts people talking about how they get AI to do the coding. I know I should do it for the sake of the process and having a deeper understanding but it’s a weird position to be in to even consider this a thing

AI is great... nothing like being expected to read PRs and the changed code when it was shat out of an llm and committed by the llm and pr'd by the llm and the dev hasn't even bloody read it. What a fucking industry

Ik moest lachen.

IJzeren hekwerk van een soort steigerpijpen met twee horizontale pijpen, daat in een grasveld met op de achtergrond een zee met branding, daarboven vage grijze lucht. Rechts zit een meeuw bovenop het hek. Links is het hek verbogen, de onderste stang is vlak boven de grond en daar zit ook een meeuw. Bij beide meeuwen staat in een zwart blok een witte tekst.
Bovenste meeuw: How's the diet going?
Onderste meeuw: Fuck off.

Saw a news article about David Attenborough 100th birthday. Sigur Rós will perform the song Hoppípolla. Thought that was a typo and assumed they meant Poppiholla by Chicane. Apparently not, both are songs with similar silly names. 😁
