I joined Twitter in 2007 and my brain slowly morphed over the next 15 years from hopelessly verbose to nihilistically pithy. I've kicked the Twitter habit, but the takes keep flowing. That's why I post them here and format them as a social network of one. You're welcome to bookmark any of these takes, though I'm not sure why you would.
By the way, the hearts and like counts are fake. They're just there to make you feel safe.
Seems like there's a bug in visionOS 26.1 where the first time you connect the new Developer Strap you get a glorious 20 Gbps connection, but then all subsequent connections are stuck at USB 2 480 Mbps speeds. Neat. reddit.com/r/VisionPro/comments/1ok1lye
Excited to engage with the Orlando developer community for the first time tonight. Going to do a hotseat Q & A on agentic coding and what it means for your weekend. meetup.com/orlandodevs/events/310925222/
A nonstop Orlando-Tokyo route is absolutely HUGE. Zip Airlines may be a budget airline, but the lowest-tier of Japanese service is frankly a superior experience to United/Delta/AA. Becky flew them to NRT earlier this year and it was great—lie-flat seats from SFO for like $1100! wesh.com/article/first-nonstop-flights-connecting-orlando-to-tokyo-announced/69177387
I wonder what's in store for the USA's Bi.5centennial next year.
My brother's moving out in a few days and I bought him a couple gifts to celebrate… does that make them housecooling gifts?
Has anybody figured out a way to get Codex CLI or Claude Code to stop working when confidence drops and ask the user a question?
I'm sick of getting spam email because of my CEO title at Searls LLC on LinkedIn, so it's got me thinking about stepping back into a Steakholder role.
We just took @tenderlove on Jungle Cruise and he had no idea what was in store for him. I've never seen better product-market fit than how that man reacted to every terrible pun.
Anyone else's Lutron Caseta system go down last night? App can't connect to hub, which won't go online. I want to blame the AWS outage before I start ripping apart networking gear.
TIL from John Hawthorn: If you use Kagi Search you can now search !rb String#gsub
This is so cool! Zero configuration required johnhawthorn.com/2025/searching-ruby-docs/
I never used to reach out to touch my MacBook screen after using my iPad, but because each 26 OS looks so similar, I'm doing it all the time now.
All according to keikaku.
"This is just proof that Matz is in bed with the fascists!" said somebody on Bluesky, I'm sure.
To be clear, this is an unmitigated GOOD THING and is a decade overdue IMNSHO. ruby-lang.org/en/news/2025/10/17/rubygems-repository-transition/
Holy shit, a thing I made in college has a Wikipedia page?! And no one told me?! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KnightCite
Ruby is 30 years old, there's so much left to solve that it'd be too much to ask them to finally add support for naming methods with an interrobang. (I would accept either this?! or that‽)
I'm serious! Have you never seen a predicate method with a side effect?!
Genuinely curious how long it will be until we have our first local LLM-based computer virus that generates code and uses tools to creatively replicate itself.
A nonzero number of programmers under 30 assume GraphQL is a legacy technology invented by Texas Instruments in the 90s and had something to do with graphing calculators.
When coding agents fail to accomplish what we task them with, very often it's because the codebase has complications we failed to anticipate and communicate. It's easy to get mad at the AI, but reckoning with technical debt requires your awareness and involvement, too.
After a fabulously productive weekend with Codex CLI shipping a set of features that would have taken me two weeks, it is now past 9 AM on a weekday in San Francisco and it's struggling to add two numbers together again. What a world.
