Scott K @skotywa.bsky.social · 11/06/2026It's funny how, just a few years ago, use of the em dash in writing represented an advanced use of punctuation which reflected well on the author. But now when you see em dashes, it's a quick indicator that what you're reading was likely generated by AI. 000
Scott K @skotywa.bsky.social · 13/04/2026Teslas are the only vehicles I've ever owned that receive significant NEW features long after I purchased the car. Twice a year I get improvements and capabilities that DID NOT EXIST when I handed over my money for the car. Does any other manufacturer do this? 000
Scott K @skotywa.bsky.social · 24/01/2026This is so cool! The cherry blossoms in DC are so beautiful each spring. The current set of trees around the tide pool (Jefferson memorial) were given to DC by the mayor of Tokyo in 1912. This is the perfect gift from Japan for #America250 birthday. share.google/UVGiXHGv8bhd...share.googleJapan gifts U.S. 250 cherry blossom trees for birthdayThe donation is the latest in a 100-year tradition of international friendship. 010
Scott K @skotywa.bsky.social · 19/01/2026New Tesla phone app feature: Charging Passport. Seems like a "Spotify wrapped" kind of report to summarize your EV road trips for the year. Last year I drove round trips to Logan, UT and Reno, NV and used 15 unique superchargers. Cool stats. 000
Scott K @skotywa.bsky.social · 13/01/2026We're gearing up for a friendly, in-person @clashroyale.bsky.social 1v1 tournament here with some youth leaders, my son, and some friends. I designed (@openscad.bsky.social) and printed trophies based on the coin award box from the game. Turned out alright I think. 051

Scott K @skotywa.bsky.social · 17/05/2025Andor+Rogue One+Episode 4 represent the best sequence of Star Wars content ever produced. So good! 110
Scott K @skotywa.bsky.social · 14/05/2025Rough day yesterday at Microsoft. Lots of people I know & respect were affected by the layoffs. I intend to do everything I can to help them towards their next opportunity. If you were affected,feel free to reach out. I may not have openings on my team, but I can help you network w/ others who do. 000
Scott K @skotywa.bsky.social · 10/05/2025Season 2 of Andor is phenomenal! It's such a shame that they cut this show down to just 2 seasons (originally planned for 5). Truly this show has been Disney's best contribution to the Star Wars universe by far surrounded by so many misses and L's. 000
Scott K @skotywa.bsky.social · 06/03/2025Shortly after I started my career at Microsoft, working in Office, we had to do a bunch of compliance work to align with the EU's requirement that Office use standardized file formats. I think it's time for similar standards to be applied to messaging apps. 100

Scott K @skotywa.bsky.social · 03/03/2025Every morning that I go to my workout facility with my wife I drive by Dunn Lumber in Bellevue. They seem to always have a good “dad joke” on their sign. Here’s the one from this morning... #DunnLumberDadJokes 110
Scott K @skotywa.bsky.social · 19/02/2025TIL that even though Copilot can generate some particularly awful code, if you scold it (eg. "No, you're an experienced developer, make this implementation cleaner!") it will clean up its work and do better... for a while. You have to scold it periodically. 😂 thx @jongallant 000
Scott K @skotywa.bsky.social · 03/02/2025New account, first post... well this all looks oddly familiar. 010
