Yesterday on the train I was solving a hard sudoku and noticed the guy next to me was solving an even harder sudoku. It struck me that a functional social animal would have used this an opportunity to make a friend. But such an animal wouldn't be solving a sudoku on the train.

Ahh, July. The month where every critical email can expect 5 immediate replies (from out-of-office bots)

Apple Vision Pro looks pretty doofy. So I guess I'm going to be looking doofy because the experience looks compelling, at least for work.

I'd like to thank every brand I've ever been associated with (and some I haven't) for their heartfelt birthday wishes via text, email and LinkedIn.

Apple: When you switch my audio from the conference call I’m talking on on my MacBook to my phone, simply because the PagerDuty trombone went off: that does not feel like magic.

To misquote Plato, I'm beginning to think that only those who do not want to program computers should be allowed to do so.

I ask an LLM to help me solve a business problem with code. It provides an answer that is right in thrust, but wrong in one key detail. However, because I've been doing this shit a long time, I know why it's wrong, and am able to fix it. Who wrote the code?

The real problem with special characters is that some of them are more special than others.

ChatGPT is the new Google. Well, asking ChatGPT, then fact checking it in Google -- that's the new Google. Suggest the main reason I check ChatGPT first is that the SEO horde hasn't yet found a way to manipulate it, which changes the nature of my skepticism.

Tracing is a fucken superpower. Thanks to everybody who told me that who I ignored -- at least you tried!

Nothing can turn an anomaly hunt into a needle-in-a-haystack problem faster than telemetry that defaults to averaging a frame, even though you asked for the max

DataDog: Hey man, you want to download this table as a CSV? Me: Yes that would be very helpful. DataDog: Okay, here you go! [CSV has two columns: a date field, and a message field with a JSON Blob in it]
