I’m looking for my next role, freelance/contract, or full-time. Senior developer and tech lead with 10+ years of experience, mainly in PHP/Laravel. Based in France and looking for fully remote work. If you’re hiring, or know a team looking for someone with my background, feel free to reach out.

I always get Lorena Bobbitt and Ashli Babbitt confused.

I like political ads that curse.

NEW AD: Listen to this sh*t.

Full disclosure, I've never heard of it, but if it was number 1 for. 23 weeks I'm sure Ms. Carey wrote a fine tune.

AI companies are criminally liable for actions of their models. There, regulated.

Falcons are bleak. Start Rush all season. Get #1 draft pick. Trade #1 draft pick for our QB of the near term (Jackson, Burrows, Lawrence) and some other defensive picks. Be good next year.

It's weird that there is a substance used to make exactly two things: - Ice cream cones; and - Communion wafers.

It's gas how sometimes Claude will give you a solution and you say "Do you have any better solutions?" and it says "Actually, yes..."

“Intersex” is the “I” in LGBTQIA. Learned a lot, watching this.

If the Democrats can't figure out how to shut down Hasan Piker and trans attacks at this point then they deserve what they get. Unfortunately, *we* don't deserve what they get.

Holy shit. Fable 5.1 just solved the Kobayashi Maru.

He didn't specify the flag.

Astrophotographer Adam (AJ) Smadi caught this image a few hours ago from Washington state. A thin crescent Moon, sunlight illuminating the rugged lunar surface. And 2,400 times farther away—and on the other side of the Sun—mighty Jupiter, and its moons Io (left) and Ganymede (right).

Man I miss steroid baseball.

I had one who never made it to that sweet age.

You can remember the Great Lakes by the acronym: HSMES

Over it.

Have you built a SaaS in Laravel and not shipped it? Or did you ship it and not get any traction, so you gave up? If so, I want to chat. Shoot me a DM and loan me 30 minutes of your time. I can't promise you anything other than a laugh or two, but I need to know where ships are sinking.

I assume you stopped using Cursor once Elon Musk bought it right? openai.com/index/our-de...

Dolly Parton. 80. Tim Curry. 80. Donald Trump...

Good God, sir, have you no diggity?

Totally flying on x.ai & SuperGrok with cursor. Hands down the most productive... Sorry, stupid autocorrect. I meant to say Elon Musk is human garbage and can go f himself.

No eclipse glasses on Faial so... a solar eclipse on the back of a camera obscura cereala boxa.

It would be cool if they had blown up AF1 but... ...no, he was just the first president to ever hide in a catering truck.

After more than a year of labor, my book 𝘏𝘪𝘥𝘥𝘦𝘯 𝘔𝘶𝘭𝘵𝘪𝘱𝘭𝘪𝘦𝘳𝘴 has launched! It's all my best ideas -- and best writing -- on how to grow your company with your existing budget and team. And yes, I read the audiobook myself. :-) (1/5)

I'm down for celebrating #Chairteenth

Can you imagine if a loved one woke you up from a deep sleep and said "IT HAPPENED". Only to learn neither JD Vance was president nor had The Winds of Winter come out. That would be bullshit.

Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise Face Off Alone On ‘Celebrity Family Feud’

We need laws to de-amplify the voice of billionaires. Musk, Bezoar, Ellison... Or ownership laws for media outlets with significant reach.

So sports bodies ban women with high, naturally occurring testosterone... ...but don't ban men with high, naturally occurring testosterone. For men it's *excellence* but for women it's an *aberration*?

Tapping the sign.

A "Partial AI Ops Manager" would be a good business to make: 1. Employee AI training; 2. Enforcement of internal rules (this hosting, this framework, etc). 3. Inventory and continuing evaluation of internal projects. Let employees use AI but know if they are building tools that need upkeep.

At the moment, AI doesn't really accelerate shipping that much for me. It will fly through 80%. Then you start working on edge cases, etc. It says "Should I flag this nitpick issue as a bug?" Sure. Now my issue list is just growing linearly.

Very sad to hear about Glen Hansard. I first saw him play in Atlanta in 2002 at the Echo Lounge. The members of Coldplay and Ash were in the (small) crowd because their outdoor gig across town had been cancelled. At some point all three bands were on stage playing together. Magic night. RIP

Why "S-tier"? Wasn't "A" fine being the 'best'?

Hmmm. Maybe if you make less than $100K your vote would be worth 4/5th?

At some point in the near future, someone wearing pervert glasses is going to get an awful beat down from a protective parent.
