Today I realized I've been doing developer relations my entire career. In the past, people I met at conferences told me my Usenet posts were helpful. Today, someone introduced themselves and said my blog posts helped them out. Happy that screaming into the void has been of use.

Why do people diagnosed and are apparently terminally ill fight so hard to get better? You're born to die, so you might as well do whatever the fuck you want because what are the consequences?

Judging from the Reflecting Pool debacle, the contractors hired seem to take shortcuts and do shoddy work. None of this will last more than a decade or so.

The backlash to closed models that harvest data from any and all sources will be sovereign models built on open weight models. While the providers compete on harness, individual enterprises will compete on the efficacy of sovereign models. Go open weights, young man. www.ft.com/content/4858...

I've already completed my 6 month goals, which frees me up to fix technical debt and build stuff instead of running in place just to keep up.

I, too, have reached an age where my emotional quotient has reached IDGAF. Not in a rude or hurtful way, but IDGAF what people think about me. It is extremely liberating.

I use Claude to write documentation because: - We don't have a technical writer on staff. - I want it to be ASD-STE100 compliant. - Claude can review and find inconsistencies. - It can draw diagrams. My team and I review it before publishing. I have no problem with Claude watermarking.

I do this for shooting competitions, especially if they are held near National Parks like Zion. Going to F1 in Mexico City because I have close friends who are into F1. It's also going to be the same weekend as Day of the Dead. Should be wild. Had the same thought when I saw the title. Times.

I really liked Supergirl because it wasn't about saving the world from a big bad. It was an 80's movie where the main character was lost, but got her shit together to fight the good fight against human traffickers. Not every " Avenge My Dog " movie has to have a body count or close-up death scenes.

Because no one ever tells me anything, I just found out that the ebook of THE PERDITION SCORE is on sale for $1.99 and the ebook of THE GRAND DARK is $6.99. They're available in all your favorite formats. (US only probably. I don't know. Like I said, no one tells me these things)

I follow a number of recipe sites, and almost all the recipes are for cheap, easy meals or ways to stretch your food budget. Previously, they were mostly "cook these luxurious meals with exotic ingredients." Sign of the times.
