We’ve lost the technology, nobody knows how anymore

This is such an odd season of life for so many reasons for me I feel constantly overwhelmed to a point where I…don’t feel normal? Like sometimes I just sit there frozen and feel like I’m…not a human? I’m also on burnout level ~4 at this point so that’s not helping

Today, we're launching a world-class research lab dedicated to Open Source sustainability with a team of some of the most experienced people in the world.

Thanks to everyone who's rallied around mima.social since Monday! I didn't imagine folks would help me make swag for my own launch (DIY style—3D printing and buttons!). It's been over a decade since I've made swag for something I've launched. This really takes me back! My heart is full!

The American century of stupid

Would Linus be well received on Bsky? 🤔

I have extremely {mixed feelings} news: 2020 tech twitter (complimentary) is back

🎉 After 2 years of building it off and on, my side project app is done: Habik: Life Manager! The premise is that you can do hard things. Break them down, and take them one day at a time. Habik takes the guesswork (and the self-negotiation) out of what to do today. apps.apple.com/us/app/habik...

there exist feasible (and I’d argue, likely) existential crises software developers may have to endure that will be inarguably good for us

serifs in a terminal / ide should be illegal

This is what I deeply believe marriage should feel like and pray everyone’s does Its an amazing and beautiful thing to have a relationship that’s just constantly discovering new limits of love

The next atproto.la event will be on Sunday July 19th from 11am-1pm, hosted by the very generous @crashspacela.bsky.social!

This might be the first time in my TWENTY YEARS OF DEV that I have EVER seen serifs in a terminal Why…just…WHY WHY?!?!

Incredibly salient point about parenting

I feel like I’m developing AI psychosis but for incredibly boring and deterministic workflows Literally make Luna my ADHD coach and force it to write cron jobs that poke me to finish email drafts
