Quick reminder… mocking another tech stack while they navigate a security incident probably isn’t going to age well for you. Observe. Learn. Amplify the fix.

This winter, my (late-2019) MBP (yes, Intel(!)) shall saddle up one last time, do one last job; pull that crown heist: - Deep clean `/usr`, `/etc/`, Brew, casks ‘n’ friends - 1Password →  Passwords - Sync.​com →  iCloud Drive - Purge all the `~/**/*` things (…cont‘d)

Need a reliable, friendly computer babysitter? Call Dave Rupert to watch over your AIs, CIs, and DMs and I'll dispatch a human-to-human alert if anything actually needs your attention.

Absolutely brutal hearing about your old team having more layoffs. I know at least 3 great engineers who are looking for work. Let me know if I can put you in touch with them. Worked with all of them for years.

Welp... Got laid off from Podia today. Kinda a lot to process for a Thursday. I'll have something more coherent to say eventually. For now, send Ruby/Rails leads. Or dog pictures.... Both are good.

“Auto-tune for ideas” 🤯 🎯 💡 …begs the question: Who was Cher? And, what was the moment?

that basically explains why AI stuff blows it’s like auto-tune for ideas, like yeah you hit the note but you lose the subtlety, the richness, the soul

Give without expectation. Create without hesitation. Love without reservation. Stay punk 🏴‍☠️

Whataya think I can expect to have to pony up for Try.com (®) 20 M’s? 50? 100+ Serious answers only, unless ur funny ofc

A collective sigh of relief, one synchronous shoulder drop, as we ease into a better, or at least more gentle, online discourse. Can u imagine. No fear, new love, how incredibly valuable this would become? Pocket lining just as well as earnest QoL PEOPLE DON’T *WANT* CONTROVERSY fuxk big tech 🏴‍☠️

💡 it’ll take me quite the bag chase, but I need to acquire the domain and then create Try.com® — the social network for taking an L and keep going. Like, for real, we’re being real over here. We share our progress, we think out loud, we almost give up some times. Almost. We feel seen. We try.

Like, can u imagine if we normalized hurt and hardship how we do posh and pretense? And, LinkedIn almost came close to eliciting real hi-5’s when peers do good. It could be done, y’all!

Instead, interactions (eNgAGeMenT) between us are pegged to what we are *currently trying* “You just updated that green meter-thingy, didn’t you? Almost done! Proud of u, buddy!” <button|text|idk?> “Yo, I noticed you seemed kinda down in that L the other day? Wanna talk?” Real shit, you know.

Or, rather the current *measure* of these, idk I mean, you don’t expose yourself outright, but you DO show your wounds, your passions, your struggles, your love — the things that actually matter to you, and the vulnerability that comes with real shit. “I’m trying.” …is a killer catchphrase btw

We don’t go on Try to scroll a feed; to share links, images, OPINIONS like we’ve been trained to by Big Tech. Rather, things we do to interact — you know, the *social* part — are defined not by one, lone, conveyor belt (your Activity Feeds, your FYPs, your doomscrolls).

What we don’t do, is we don’t consider things that are outside of our circle of control. Things we can’t change. We don’t share to be heard, but to be seen. ‘Reach’ is a nonstarter over here. Your try.com/@handle is more a public dashboard than a profile page. Less metrics, more measures.

Like, this ‘Dashboard’ is eg. - what you are trying to learn rn - …understand rn - where things hurt - all the things I *did* do this week! Yay, go me! - What I’m grateful for rn - what am I not seeing? (and thank you for taking the time to give me your considerations) - inspo / mood / visuals rn

This is huge! 👏👏
