Just in time for Dylan Cease's start, I'd like to present my newest dumb baseball website: STACHECAST Were you wondering whether Cease pitches better with that giant stache, with the long beard, or with something else? We have the answer. Maybe. stachecast.lol

stachecast.lol

STACHECAST

Investigating the question on everyone's minds: how does Dylan Cease's facial hair affect his starts?

Dusted off some code from a few years ago to stitch together a time lapse, was fun to see it mostly work as-is. Also, evidence the cucamelon seedlings are total aliens 🌱

so this question has come up in conversation recently: obviously, bluesky has features that allow you to disable interactions like replies and quote posts. but is doing so contrary to the spirit of social media? is it antisocial behavior? maybe even unethical? interested to hear everyone's thoughts

It's a long weekend here so I've been heads down putting some seeds in dirt as well as reviving the hack project I started back in 2023. growing.shiftkey.online is where this all lives now, and I plan to start scheduled posting to @growing.shiftkey.online once there are signs of life on the mat.

In memory of the great writer Dan McQuade, I wrote about how we spent about fifteen years sending each other really stupid press release quotes. I'll miss him.

Some of the numbers in here are wild. “45% of AI generated code has exploitable [security] flaws.” And this is a massive, looming problem that I’ve talked about a lot: “Without juniors gaining real experience, where will the next generation of senior engineers come from?”

It seems Netlify upsold me automatically for an OSS side project while I wasn't checking my email over the holidays and are now going to suspend me for not paying for the thing I didn't ask for. Guess that's a thing I need to turn off next month...

December 31 - Automated email indicating Netlify will bill me due to build minute usage

"Your build minutes usage on your team (Brendan Forster's team) has reached 50% of the current allowance in your billing cycle from December 8 to January 8.

If build minutes usage goes over the allowance before the end of the billing cycle, we’ll add an extra build minutes pack for $7, increasing your allowance by 500 minutes for the current billing cycle.

Alternatively, you can increase your build minutes allowance to 25,000 minutes/month by upgrading to Pro, which is free for the first month if it’s your first time on Pro. Visit the pricing page to compare plans.

You can check current usage details in the Netlify UI."

January 1 - Automated email from Netlify indicating they've billed me

"Based on your usage so far this month, we’ve billed you for an additional Build Minutes usage package on account Brendan Forster's team. This means you can now:

- Use an additional 500 build minutes in this billing cycle

Find out more in your dashboard."

January 9 - Automated email from Netlify indicating that they plan to suspend my projects

"The billing cycle for your subscriptions has ended. Your sites will be suspended after 28 days. To process your payment and keep your sites up and running, please provide a valid credit card for Brendan Forster's team immediately."

We are once again offering "candy and/or a potato" this Halloween, and I'm VERY pleased to report that one mom just asked her kid, "Is this the potato house you were looking for?!"

One metal bowl filled with Halloween candy and another filled with large russet potatoes.

Bigotry feels undefeated, especially when it serves as the entire $65M+ closing argument of a major political campaign. But there will come a day when it loses. Yes there will. There is no "for you" unless it includes "for they/them" www.jasonkirk.fyi/p/watch-grid...
