Shooting our videos is a little bit different now.

I'm trying to get into the habit of producing more video, so on the spur of the moment I made a 7 minute video showing how I used Claude Code to put together a simple GitHub Actions workflow www.youtube.com/watch?v=VC6d...

Honestly I learned the most (and became a much better dev) when I reinvented the wheel. Built a (simple) ORM instead of just using NHibernate (was a mistake.) Implemented own sorting algo thinking it would do better than built in (it did not.) Built own charting library. Etc All were worth it!!

Cannot wait for San Francisco to finally unite around our greatest strength: preventing something from being built.

Boom. 35% tariffs already.

Felt __really__ weird updating the ole' LinkedIn from Senior -> Staff Engineer, but it really did happen 🎉

"Clever engineers write clever code. Exceptional engineers write simple code." 100% agree with this. There are rare exceptions that call for clever or innovative, but most of the time you think you're being clever you're just leaving a trap for a future you. endler.dev/2025/best-pr...

I read @jcsalterego.bsky.social skeets and marvel at how someone can have so many thoughts

Somehow I think this is going to get the most "well actually" responses of all my videos anyways this is what I can tell you about runtimes

BREAKING: A court overturned Ohio's ban on gender-affirming care for transgender youth. This is a critical victory for trans rights.

@justingarrison.com @withenoughcoffee.com loving @fafo.fm 😎 if y’all are looking for a cool person in the observability world who is a OSS maintainer, escaped Elmo’s Twitter takeover, and has tons of PE/infra experience @ddelnano.bsky.social is doing awesome stuff with px.dev

Dear President Zelenskyy, On behalf of the majority of Americans, I apologize for what our snowflake of a president tried to do you today. You stood strong and showed us what love of country means. Thank you Zelenskyy Fuck Trump & Vance

Wow, after 11 days in NYC in Feb, coming back to SF this weather is divine

For the first time in my career, I’m about to be writing Golang instead of Python professionally and oh BOY am I excited

These are the good guys supporting DEI. Reward them with your business. Costco Meijer Kroger Giant Grocery Ben & Jerry’s Ulta, Macy’s Old Navy Nordstrom’s TJ Maxx GoTo Foods ( Moe’s Southwest Grill, Mcalister’s, Auntie Anne’s, Jamba, Cinnabon…) Dollar Tree Walgreens Wegmans

Any company whose mission is to “to ensure that artificial general intelligence benefits all of humanity” would be ecstatic about a capable open source model like Deepseek released. Any company which has a mission of making money off closed-source models would be devastated tho.

Speaking of healthcare. Let's make @bsky.app the platform that fights misinformation. Some great follows are @drsusanoliver.bsky.social @jsm2334.bsky.social @therealtruther.bsky.social Let's get them more followers and engagement than other platforms and let health science accounts find a home

The only way to turn it off is to 1. Contact your Google Workspace administrator to 2. Ask them to submit a support ticket 3. Cross fingers 4. THEN they might be able to turn it off 5. Yes I also cannot believe Google would do THIS bsky.app/profile/gerg...

I’ve been loving good into the office more recently, but dang do I still appreciate Okta’s remote first flexibility. Just landed in Houston to surprise a friend for their birthday, and I’m pretty jazzed to post up in a coffee shop and bang some work out

One of the best techniques for improving my Go tests was to learn the "if got, want" pattern, which makes tests dramatically more clear. You can learn the pattern in 30 seconds.

Just biked to the office for the first time in my working career, and my goodness does it feel good to move my body on the way to work

Finally got a chance to listen to @gergely.pragmaticengineer.com ‘s book The Software Engineer’s Guidebook on Spotify, and BOY is it filled with nuggets of wisdom the full way through (unsurprisingly)

Sheesh, this winter break felt sooooo recharging. 2024 was a lot of addressing years of accumulated tech debt that threatened reliability. But in 2025, the balance shifts from a lot of defense to a lot more offense 🚢

@matty.wtf hey, I think this may be a bit/impersonator with a similarly looking username bsky.app/profile/matt...
