Wow. Mastodon is a good replacement for twitter (in 2009).

I would say that the most surprising benefit of being un(der)employed for the last month or so has been not being on Slack all day.

Missing from the discussion about SF crime rates and fears or crime is the idea that high fear of crime might be leading to low crime rates. You can't conclude that a low crime rate means there is a low threat-of-crime.

I am not an expert in banking, but I am pretty sure the last thing you want to hear from a bank CEO is "stay calm".

Funny thing about no-code solutions for businesses– eventually you want testing, repeatability, authoring collaboration, monitoring. All things that you get with…code.

What I love most about Python type checking is that you are promised that you can choose which one to use, but at any reasonable scale and complexity you have to support all of them.

Hmm, over-confident rationalizer approaches a complex system to make an "obvious" change. 🍿.

Sorry for showing you so many irrelevant & annoying ads on Twitter! . We’re taking the (obvious) corrective action of tying ads to keywords & topics in tweets, like Google does with search. This will improve contextual relevance dramatically.

It’s rare that it happens, but I started a habit last year that has actually stuck. @readwise has been an amazing tool to actually remember the non fiction I have read. 365 day streak and going.
