we are doing austinsystems.org TONIGHT in beautiful ATX, and it is being sponsored by my work @ersc.io. you can either be there or you can be square, it's your choice 🫵🏻

This is how all my nightmares begin now

I spent an hour today arguing to delay a feature launch, only to realize my fear was a one-way door that existed pre-agents, but now the cleanup project from this category of mistake is much easier.

Please don't make me buy jjub 😅

This is A+ naming skills.

On the bright side, Gateways are a nice improvement.

We need to talk about the rise of "smol bean fascism" where you have all the guns and the immunity but the really scary people are the ones with whistles and phone cameras and they're giving you generational trauma and ptsd by filming you killing people for no reason
