Hot tip: Clubhouse will be much less exciting once people are working from offices and commuting.
Coding is less than half of an engineer's job. I've seen talks on this; I know this to be true; but what is an excellent third-party resource that goes into depth on this? Could be an article or a book.
If you describe yourself as a 10X engineer, I’m going to assume you’re literally ten times the size. That’s a big engineer
If I had to make a list of the things that I find baffling and irritating about America, leaf blowers would be very high up there.
Less than zero interest in participating in, preserving, perpetuating, or validating tech bro culture. In the right hands, technology can empower and enfranchise. These are not the right hands.
I’m very enthusiastic about antitrust reform; very unenthusiastic about Section 230 reform.
If you were going to put some live, visualized data on a screen at home (or in an office, in the event that we get to have those again), what would you use? I'm looking for a mix of visualization types, with super-easy data input.
I woke up super-early to drive my mom to the hospital for a planned visit. It’s been over a year, but it’s surprising how much it still feels like a second home. For better or worse.
My stress levels for the last week have been absolutely through the roof. I hope some sleep and some resolutions to things that have been worrying me can fix it. I was enjoying feeling calm and rested.
The move to subscriptions continues apace. https://
Four straight weeks of whole30. I have two days left but: I’ve lost 12+ pounds, my blood pressure dropped to a healthier level, and in combination with daily exercise, my fitness is much better. This worked shockingly well for me.
Unpopular opinion: gas transactions of any kind force blockchains out of platform-land and squarely into speculative currency-land.
Not sure what else is going on today, but I’m taking my mother out for a walk.
I’m working my way through Discovery season 3, and I found Adira and Gray’s story really affecting. It’s quite lovely to see trans and non binary stories explored in this way. Context: https://
Current status: Googling “is sambal oelek whole30 compliant?” (It is.)
I don’t know who needs to hear this, but you should never, ever use your work computer as your personal computer.
Tidying the next sprint on a Friday night, as one does. The laptop is closing now.
How might I build a front end only Disqus-like comments section (i.e., add one line of JS, get comments on a page) with no centralized components, no blockchain, and no required authentication? Is there a decentralized key value store I'm missing?
I just got notice that my mother received her first COVID-19 vaccine shot. Pretty excited about this, tbqh.
For better or worse, these changes will be a major accelerant for decentralization. Protocols don't host. https://
On reflection, using space lasers to build high speed rail would actually be pretty cool.
I intentionally didn’t hand in my writing homework this week. It’s just been too rough a week. Hoping to get back into it from tomorrow. I’m a little bit disappointed in myself - but also giving myself permission to make space.
