Hawk Tuah coin was obviously stupid.

But like, only exactly as stupid as every other crypto currency.

It's like calling someone stupid for buying the wrong lottery ticket.

I mean, sure, but that sentence has at least one word too many.

What the fuck is the logic behind drivers who pull most of the way into thr crosswalk before stopping to "let me" cross.

If you're going to go, fucking go. You'll be through faster and not in my way.

I'm just going to assume stopping behind the line where they are supposed to stop is off the table.

@jsnell @dmoren I'm trying to find a brief description of the Six Colors member podcast and don't seem to be able to.

Is it Jason and Dan talk Apple/Six Colors things? Somewhat similar to, say, Upgrade but with a Six Colors vibe?

Does it have a lot of guest spots?

I've trimmed a few podcasts lately and I think I've got room for one more considering adding it. I like both of your work in other places.

I don't have any interest in defending Apple's indefensible App Store cut.

But why is Patreon even an app? It'd be fine as a website using stripe or whatever to process payments.

Why is it a joke to "turn it off and turn it on again" and yet I still have to tell people that all the time.

Seriously: before you ask me, unplug everything, wait 10 seconds, plug it back in.

If it still doesn't work, then ask me.

Hooray. The big wildfire near Sooke has been downgraded from red to yellow.

I am thankful for the rain we've had the last 2 days!

My $BIGCO employer is coming at me this week with a major push to reduce our server costs (read: AWS bill).

In what I'm sure is entirely unrelated, this week is also the week that everyone is being encouraged to try our new in-house GPT style assistant.

The "AI" grift always promised hockey stick growth. They didn't say it wouldn't be in your AWS bill and really that's on you for not asking.

How do people even find jobs now? I hear the job market is starting to recover but I don't see much out there. Maybe I just don't know where to look anymore.

Comapny interviewing you: where do you see yourself in 5 years?

Where do you see this comapny in 5 years? Your leadership isn't think past next quarter's financial results and your engineering managers are replacing juniors with Chat GPT to save a few cents now.

Are any of you fuckers thinking 5 years into your future?

It's funny reading things about threat models and privacy. Does anyone else get the feeling that "having privacy" is an outdated idea?

Next hurdle: is it possible to get a cup of coffee in Edinburgh that isn't a mediocre espresso/americano monstrosity?

@semanticist oh you might know this!

I am currently in Edinburgh. I would like to walk into a store tomorrow and buy one of (roughly) these:

I know you're not exactly in Edinburgh but I'm near Waverley train station so there's most things around. I just don't know what is the Scottish Best Buy I guess ?

I need to start favouriting more things.

Years of Twitter's brokenness taught me like and RT anything I wanted to boost because, although I'm not a lunatic, the vast majority of the audience is web or default client so you need to feed the algorithm if you want to share things.

Now I can star things to say hey I liked that or just because I want it. The other day I was trying to find something I liked on here but didn't boost at the time. Now I can't find it. 😞

Having one of those days where I miss the life of a Rails dev.

Laughing about the time I migrated someone off Magento. 😨

Rails has probably been enshitified while I've been away but I miss the simple joy of shipping features a customer cares about instead of filling out corporate paperwork full time.

I have questions. Chiefly: Is this joke funnier if you know the two pictured men are or funnier if you don't?
