Cancel culture is terrible. I have opposed it publicly for more than a decade. It is even more chilling, and more clearly a violation of the First Amendment, when it is the government doing the intimidation.

All the engineers on my team are saying Claude isn't very good anymore (maybe expectations have risen) and the new Codex with GPT-5 is a huge leap better.

I think more and more people see tech as a necessary evil. So I think meta and apple trying to put tech on our faces is a bad bet. I subconsciously, amid trying to put my phone down more, find the idea of putting on my face repugnant.

Just used google, which i rarely do now, and realized one reason that is the case is because there are no cookie banners, broken jittery js scrolling, popover promotions, and annoying ads.

I just use my own simple factory for test data. The libraries I used wouldn't use the changeset, so it was easy to create invalid test data. I also don't like broadly creating optional relationships, it quickly becomes slow tests by a thousand cuts.

If something is updated almost never, you can read it at warp speed by skipping ETS and stashing it in :persistent_term. Reads are 0‑GC & ≈5× faster. Batch writes at boot but each write still pauses the VM, so be careful. #myelixirstatus
