@lorenmorris There's a little-known letter from Chaucer that records his tasting flavor-blasted doritos. > [. ] mye mouthe wys accosted with sych violence by thee triangle I was laid out upon mye bed f'r three nyghts avvash in a dread sweat that did not abate until my humors weir set aright.

Waking up early in the morning to drive to my parent’s house to butcher and gut 32 chickens.

> Progress isn’t linear. It’s dynamic, sometimes dissonant, and always demanding. But it’s also a new opportunity for us to shape, lead through, and have greater impact than ever before. sobering to realize ChatGPT can now out-write @satyanadella .

Either Twitter broke in some exciting new way or @gwern let through a bunch of follow requests including lowbies like me.

reading a post about complicated sleep rituals to ensure 7-8 hours of uninterrupted sleep the morning after the 5yo comes into our room at 3:30am crying, 2yo interrupts our sleep at least twice, and both wake us up for the day too early.

"I got confused because I use a private helper method in my own setup". Sometimes these excuses from chatgpt are so outlandish they're almost charming.

soon

i wish we knew the solution to this problem.

go devs branching out

I'm unsure of what this implies but I get much more engagement with real people with far fewer followers on mastodon. Do what you will with that information.

Somebody on reddit complained that it "was obvious from their writing that he's in his 30s" and I keep thinking about that comment.

I am asking all my friends to write blog posts because I like seeing them land in my RSS reader :).

until the employment market corrects for it, i don't know how you convince people entering the economy to break their bodies in trade schools for 1/4 the salary of sending emails and typing questions into a chatgpt text box.

There seem to be very significant effects downstream of employers optimizing for minimal salaries. I know this is a trait of capitalism in general; but it's very pervasive now. the "best minds of my generation optimizing ad delivery" trope is wrecking. a lot of industries.

Immensely appreciative that How To Train Your Dragon was a focused live-action remake and didn’t try to jump the shark. So many shots 1:1 recreated from the original and I had no idea Gerard Butler voiced the original dad, lol.

Fixed my RSS setup with miniflux and man I missed RSS.

Did my first round of low-level Rust programming (packet processing) and wew lad, that was intense.

I try very hard to be kind to people though. After leaving every position I’ve had I’ve always left very long, detailed recommendations for everyone on my immediate team, that always felt important to me.

i’ve been thinking about this and although I can’t think of anything specific I’m good at, it’s hard for me to _not_ find employment so I must be good at _something_.

I feel like dhh is a “legendary programmer” the same way that Chef Boyardee is a legendary chef or James Gunn is a legendary director.
