working on making our site more international in terms of how we talk about pricing & spelling/wording… and hitting a major snag: Finding alternatives to words with the S/Z problem is literally impossible for one of our key words - “address standardization” 🤯🤯🤯 standardiszation? 🤪

Gym question for UK people: Do people usually change into clean (ie never worn outside) gym shoes when they arrive? In Denmark, this is the expected behavior. Isn‘t in the US. I’ll be in the UK next week and am not sure what to bring!

New blog post from @codemonkey.io The 263% increase in CVEs over the last year means that security patches might be hastily shipped. "A Debian security update, once a thing we'd trust on sight, now deserves more suspicion than it did a year ago. " www.geocod.io/code-and-coo...

The kernel patch that almost broke our entire fleet
A new Hetzner server kept crashing every 10 minutes to 16 hours. It was a Linux kernel regression from a rushed Debian security patch -- and the same trap was waiting for the rest of our fleet.

Another day, another huge company with layoffs because of AI, and I can’t help wonder… Are we the only company that, because (guard-railed!) use of AI has made engineering and the rest of the company more productive, is hiring MORE people to keep up with the faster speed, higher demand, etc?!

I know quite a few founders right now who are losing customers because of AI. And at a certain point, the convo comes around to, “what’s wrong with me that I’m not doing well anymore?” If that’s you: macro conditions are not your fault. You are still smart. You’ll adapt and figure it out. 💛

Talking to Claude is like being a spymaster: "Open the Projects folder. In that folder, you will see a spec. Nod if you see the spec. You will follow this spec exactly, and will not deviate from it. You will not do anything without my permission. Do you understand?"
