This was the best possible move - Austin Abrams is funny enough to not need bits, and the couple times they did bits, the movie slammed to a halt. (Could not have loved it more otherwise).

Total Eclipse of the Heart has been on repeat a lot lately and I had no memory of how hard it is. If someone told me “your love is like a shadow on me all of the time”, I would never recover.

On the one hand, the new macOS update is significantly slower, but on the other, everything now also looks weird and bad so i want to use my computer less. I guess it all balances out?

Hundreds of billions of dollars on AI to give us “a potion seller is a person who sells potions”.

Screenshot of an embedded YouTube player. The video is Justin Kuritzkes’s “Potion Seller”. The AI summary below unhelpful says “A potion seller is a person who sells potions. In some cases, the potion seller may only sell their potions to the strongest beings.”

Truly disheartening to finally beat a Silksong boss, then see it in a guide as “incredibly simple early-game boss for babies only”.

It's so charming that the Death Stranding games are about human connection, brutality, family, how the systems we live in shape all of those, and ALSO how fun it is to put your best buds into a videogame 😊.

Caroline Polachek doing a song for Death Stranding 2 is an almost cartoonish intersection of my interests. www.youtube.com/watch?v=pilm...

Thank goodness Andor is still good. I don’t know if I could have handled that right now.

Tradition states that last night Jesus emptied out all the jails. Spent Saturday night telling people “I don’t care what you did, people weren’t made for prisons.” The next day to prove His point He broke out of solitary. It is finished. Easter is incompatible with the carceral state. Happy Easter.

I’ve been doing a lot of C# at work for the last year or so and I’m slowly coming around to it, but man does it really make me appreciate how pleasant it is to use TypeScript.

There is almost nothing I want less in this life than to stay tuned after the show for a look inside the episode.

Making a to-do list for today and said “ooh that’s going to be my treat” after writing down “break down boxes in the attic”. Being in my 40s is weird.

I really enjoyed this article from @mtlynch.io on writing better software tutorials. Lots of specifics and a great general vibe of “remove all the obstacles and annoying stuff in advance” that applies to a LOT of software writing. refactoringenglish.com/chapters/rul...

Rules for Writing Software Tutorials

It's easier than you think to write an exceptional software tutorial. You can stand out in a sea of mediocre guides by following a few simple rules.

Late followup - it was this! Lil chrome extension that adds your current Spotify song to the PR description you're writing on GitHub with album art and a preview link. (My main lessons were that the Spotify Web API is surprisingly nice and Chrome Extensions are unsurprisingly painful to develop.)

Screenshot of a GitHub pull request description preview and a Spotify miniplayer window. The same song is displayed in both.

my edit: I have erased several words, so the slide reads "A computer can be held. Make a decision"

original QT'd skeet: IBM's slide, "a computer can never be held accountable. therefore a computer must never make a management decision"

I got a new “midnight” MacBook Air on a wild early Black Friday sale. It’s so pretty and *so* fast and I’ve never been more aware of how greasy my hands are.

Very different vibes on my New Books today but equally excited for both.

Two books on a table. One is “Leading Effective Engineering Teams” by Andy Osmani. The other is Blood Sweat & Chrome : the Wild and True Story of Mad Max Fury Road

This is one of my favorite piece of advice for junior devs. Go through your PRs, think of the first ~5 questions your reviewer will ask, and make sure you answer them in the code/comments/description. You’ll find bugs, make life easier for your reviewer, AND leave helpful context for future devs.

RIP to Riverdale, the worst best show to ever do it. Their commitment to doing whatever they wanted for 7 seasons is truly incredible. Truly peak television.

I have like 7 visible posts in my bluesky feed and it’s such a blessing. Basically no one is trying to trick me into an NFT.
