Tweet from When Twitter was Good(er?) @rickhalonii

Nuclear subtweet: it doesn't matter how right you think your technical opinion is, if you can't share it without being negative and toxic then you're wrong.

After 40 years, this shit lasered onto my brain finally makes sense: The bear was Fozzie! The dog was Rowlf! The comedian was Scooter!

Good blog: hughhowey.com/the-end-of-a...
Screenshot with text:

I’ve always felt bad for authors who lived and worked before 2007. The choices unavailable to them made life harder than it needed to be. Getting their work out into the world was brutal. After KDP, that brutality became a choice, not a necessity.

I now feel awful for anyone who wants to tell a story post-2026. You will forever be doubted. If you love an em dash the way I do, or you like flowy run-on sentences like I do, if you grew up reading Proust to let the words flow over you in all their glory, if you memorized sonnets so the iambic pentameter would soak into your bones, you’re gonna sound like a fucking bot.

Less than 20 years. More like 10, honestly. You can argue that 2014-ish was when self-publishing became legit and 2024-ish was when the tools made AI writing viable. A decade where it was easy in the ways it should be and hard in the ways it should be. That’s insane. Ten years across the one-hundred-thousand years of language.

Food for thought, if you are a current (you should switch) or prospective (run away) customer of Verizon wireless:
Very long email chain of the worst customer service interaction I've ever had at Verizon.

If you want details, I'll gladly provide.

Look, this ain't got shit on FLW, but for deterministic SVG generation shit that I just sorta decided to try on a whim I'm pretty impressed. Look a lot of human judgment but frankly I'm surprised how well Claude took that judgment and turned it into code. seeded pseudorandom

Quote from movie Big Wednesday:

Psychologist: I see here they call you a masochist.
Leroy the Masochist: I like pain.
Psychologist: Can you be specific? What kind of pain do you like?
Leroy the Masochist: Any kind of pain.
Psychologist: Such as?

Edited to say in big font "functional programming" at the end.

I'm not sure if this qualifies as 21st century because my childhood was extremely 90s-cardinals-pilled, but every one of these will live rent free forever. I honestly think I'd be more excited to meet Ray Lankford that Pujols.
