Just read a LinkedIn celebration of “made it to 6 months at Microsoft” and I still can’t decide if it’s satire. Is this what we’re celebrating now?

Any senior .NET devs looking for a new gig? We’ve got openings doing some pretty impactful stuff. My DMs are open.

I replaced all the app icons on my iPhone and iPad with widgets, and it's been extremely helpful in reducing distractions. I am also leveraging shortcuts and focus modes; and I thought I would share the process with you: www.youtube.com/watch?v=JBLM...

Oh yeah - I have a Black Friday thing going on that you can also gift, if you're interested. Trying to rev up my content game again :) because it's fun and I want it to be my job again... bigmachine.io/articles/lif...

Giving gifts is so fun, don't you think? Especially if it's for yourself!

Tried out Gemini 3 with all the VS Code tools and it was really really not good. The Code Assist extension crashed 5 times and then refused to start *at all*. I then put Gemini 3 up against Claude on a not-so-simple task and my goodness it failed miserably.

What I'm really after with this project is dredging up "crap code". 99% of this was created by my direction, and I've reviewed and found it to be pretty solid. That said - if you dislike AI in general - now's your chance to skewer me (/cc @fransbouma.com... it's data access... right up your alley!)

I goofed off with Claude Code this weekend to see how hard it would be to turn SQLite into a document database with a MongoDB API. It took 3 tries but I think something fun came of it - throw daggers at it if you like: github.com/robconery/gadz

Need help prompting? I made a fun thing with @aaronw.dev that works like "gi" for gitignore, but with prompts. Need a react component and don't know the prompt? Try "peep react-component" in your CLI: tek.pub

Looks like that’s the extent of it. Small surges out with now waves, small surges in with slightly more wave activity. Thankfully looks like it’s not getting bigger.guess I’ll sign off…

I remember studying this at university for my geology degree. Professor explained it was pulse energy - a pressure differential made the force horizontal. Typical wave energy is sinusoidal, which is changes in vertical energy. At least I think that's what they said... I might have been asleep...

It'll be an interesting sunset tonight here in Honolulu, with light winds, some high clouds and a tsunami. I live in a big building with a small view of the coast and the first wave is supposed to hit here in just over 2 hours. I'll post pictures.

It's super inefficient (and expensive) to have an LLM work on your data and files (CSV, markdown, whatever) directly. Have it create a script for you instead. I made a video about "compiling" markdown to one of @adamwathan.com's new Tailwind templates this way: thenext.dev/blog/creatin...

OK so I know becoming a fanboy because of a movie is silly but as I watched F1 I remembered that, as a kid, I LOVED racing. This movie reminded me of that. So, Formula 1 fans, how does one get started watching? @damianedwards.com @anthonypjshaw.bsky.social.

Holy crap I just saw F1 at a real theater (good one too) and now I want to go out and buy a van and live in it and work out every day and do what I want and race fast cars... what a movie. One of the best I've seen in a while in terms of pure entertainment.

I love this foreword from @greatdismal.bsky.social RE Neuromancer's sky. Also, I do feel his take on the USA/USSR situation is right on the money. Even in the foreword.

Is it just me or does the Turing test seem to be an interactive take-home thing where all of of us shrug but secretly do therapy sessions to train the thing to beat the test? Seems like a @greatdismal.bsky.social plot but … it’s happening (and don’t pretend you haven’t had that session)

Ghosted for not wanting to do a technical interview at 9pm because of time zones. Wild how people assume you’ll adjust because you live where you do. I’m almost asleep by then!

I did get to visit the Xbox folks on a recent trip to Seattle before I left (or "was left by") Microsoft. Got to see a few fun behind the scenes bits.

I think we need an MCU/Jurassic Park/Star Wars mashup movie. Thanos takes on Vader with 5 velociraptors joining the fight. The Jedi debate endlessly and R2 ends up being the Chosen One, full of kryptonite?

The word "light" typically refers to knowledge, joy, hope, a lifting up, a blessing, etc. If I learn something new I am "enlightened". But if something makes me happy I'm "DElighted"? If you attach "de" to something, it usually means something negative. Reduced or DEcremented...

In 1996 I was walking with a friend down Telegraph Av. in Berkeley and there was a sign for a band called Green Day"and I thought "hmmm Pixies rip off I guess" and we kept walking. Saw Broun Fellinis instead (great show). Oh well.
