what an incredible time in history

how do people survive fall through spring in Seattle?

Toddler fashion is iconic. Not pictured: her full arm and leg sleeves of temporary thanksgiving and Halloween tattoos.

Joke of the day from Moscow: Russia tried to unveil its first humanoid AI robot, Aidol. Key word: tried. The robot collapsed during its debut, forcing organizers to cut the presentation short. Their rushed attempt to lift the prop only made things worse.

all the aurora pics make me wish I didn’t live downtown for the first time in my adult life!

Following non-developers is so confusing. Couple definitions for some words you may see pop up on your time line:

📕 library: a place with books
📈 graph: a chart
🗺 map: used for navigation
🐍 python: snake
📚 heap: a pile of things
🌲 tree: a tall plant
🐞 bug: an insect

i have a private repo that stores my dotfiles to use across computers, going to start doing the same for my everyday context files.

I work for AWS, use the Q CLI constantly - happy to help answer any questions for folks!

Oh interesting, I think a lot of python is pretty elegant — except the dunders

My favorites right now are the "Growth tactics from OpenAI and Stripe's first marketer" and "How to build a team that can take a punch"!

I think that's just where so many people's minds are at right now (to be fair I also work on AI so I'm biased)
