The person on the stage or the person who wrote that book isn’t better than you. They just took a shot. Don’t be afraid to take yours and share your knowledge. And don’t listen to anyone who tells you you’re not good enough. Especially the voice in your head. It’s a jerk.

I’m a pretty conservative person when it comes to burning bridges but if I ever got an email like this I don’t think I’d be redacting the company name.

The Minnesota Wild plays at the Grand Casino Arena and airs games on FanDuel Sports Network, and we are supposed to be surprised there’s a current sports betting scandal in another sport?

The Wild need all the goals they can get.

HOW DARE YOU, MR. HOCKEY PLAYER! HOW DARE YOU USE YOUR HOCKEY STICK TO PUT A PUCK IN THE NET! NO GOAL FOR YOU!

The DigitalOcean documentation team was fantastic, but they were laid off—just in time for the big LLM content scraping runs that would have catapulted their work into the AI zeitgeist.

The joy I get out of programming has slowly waned over the years, because most interesting problems are now "solved" via standard libraries, open-source dependencies, and HTTP APIs. Novel problem solving gradually gave way to "digital pipefitting" of stuff built by others.

About 10 years ago, I got pushed out for the first time from a company. I guess some people say fired. I like the sound of pushed out better. I was heartbroken. I had given my all to this company. I had made them millions and millions of dollars. And they had told me I wasn't

This isn't a Ruby vs. Go problem. It's an "we hired 50 engineers so let's split everything apart" problem. Here's what happens: Company grows fast. Leadership comes from Big Tech. They bring their playbook. Split the app into pieces. One piece per team. Everybody owns

Yesterday I published Issue 45 of my monthly newsletter, and it's about why Markdown might not be the best way to implement content. Read it and subscribe to be the first to read next month's issue. https://t.co/iC8ABtnqgT

Everyone wants corporate sponsorship of OSS until they find out that sponsorship means control. Do what we want or the money you depend on goes poof. No free lunch. Disappointing. https://t.co/0TKHJeCpnl

"Let's all band together to get consumer protections rolled back, and we'll say it will increase competition" is a hell of a sales pitch. https://t.co/3lCkGl5T52

Do you remember… The 21st night of September…

How to make your Dev tool more consumable by @AnthropicAI Claude Code? @mintlify founder Han: "Just write better docs for humans."

Vale is my go-to tool to catch style errors and enforce consistency in content, and after implementing it in multiple jobs and projects, it was time to create a guide anyone can follow. Now in beta. https://t.co/SR56nw73Jh

Been thinking about this… The thing that drew me to Ruby on Rails was that they created abstractions to eliminate manual boilerplate. That kind of effort isn’t necessary now that we can make LLMs generate boilerplate for us. It probably won’t even be encouraged.

And he STILL forgot the documentation team.

So… they’re like a week behind then? I kid. Sort of.
