One of the things I ❤️ about Philly is that to this day, if you go around town in the summer, you’ll inevitably come across an OG wearing a 2001-era @sixers jersey of AI. A true city legend. youtu.be/NAZvvaT79g8
I hacked together some code that pulls body measurements from my scale and plots the data points on @HelloTidbyt. The workflow to keep things up-to-date runs on GitHub Actions periodically.
The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990) soundtrack holds up pretty well.
Does real recognize real imply that real recognize fake?
If you are developing AWS Lambda functions in Python, I recommend checking out this library. Tons of helpful libraries and utilities to improve the maintainability of code running in Lambda: awslabs.github.io/aws-lambda-pow…
Joined a peer Voltron group and thoroughly enjoy each of our virtual hangouts. So helpful to have people *outside of work* to talk through professional challenges. It was also a lot easier to get going than I initially anticipated.
I haven't worked closely with JavaScript in a long time. In an effort to re-familiarize myself before diving deeper into TypeScript, I worked through the Just JavaScript (justjavascript.com) modules. Really well-put-together material and lessons. 🎒
I missed when this capability was announced, but the approach to establishing connections to running AWS ECS tasks laid out here is really interesting: github.com/aws/containers…
Every once in a while you come across a project and think: Wait, how are they doing that? Loam, along with the features it has powered in production apps, are an example of that for me. Props to @dpdohler for the hard work he’s put into assembling this library.

I mentioned this in the post but want to give “Systems Performance” its own shoutout. I strongly recommend this for anyone looking to understand your code, how it runs, performs, and the system surrounding it. Am reading and taking notes, it’s like a lightbulb went off.
You know what doesn’t work with that fancy new chat not? Asking it for advice. It’s easily swayed by volume of information not accuracy of details. I asked it this: Does REDACTED_DATABASE have safe transactions? It spit out to me marketing material not proof material.

People talk about how hard it is to be with someone who plans everything to the last detail. People don't appreciate how awful it is for us planners when we're with someone who destroys our equilibrium with a casual: "oh, it'll be right; we'll just wing it on the day."

I think one can objectively say that over the last decade, the complexity that exploded in tech didn’t always impact the product’s bottomline in a meaningful way, but optimized for certain org structures and engineering practices, which benefited engineers more than the company.
