hello i wrote a blog post about getting laid off last halloween, four days before i was supposed to return to work from maternity leave
Some things I've learned in my first few weeks:
1) There is a grey market candy swapping racket between janitors, TSA agents, CSRs, and everyone else who has to stand someplace all day at the airport.
Hi-chews, sour candies, and gummy anything are in highest demand.
Tawny owl
Six weeks ago, I picked up a year-old tawny owl with a broken leg off the main road near our home and dropped him off at our nearest vet.
After a few days, I received one of the most bizarre phone calls I’ve ever had, asking “So when are you coming to pick up your owl?” 🧵

If someone tells you that coding with LLMs is easy they are (probably unintentionally) misleading you. They may well have stumbled on to patterns that work, but those patterns do not come naturally to everyone. I’ve been getting great results out of LLMs for code for over two years now. Here’s my attempt at transferring some of that experience and intution to you. Set reasonable expectations Account for training cut-off dates Context is king Ask them for options Tell them exactly what to do You have to test what it writes! Remember it’s a conversation Use tools that can run the code for you Vibe-coding is a great way to learn A detailed example Be ready for the human to take over The biggest advantage is speed of development LLMs amplify existing expertise Bonus: answering questions about codebases
Here's the table of contents for my lengthy new piece on how I use LLMs to help me write code simonwillison.net/2025/Mar/11/...

Update on my life: Last year, I joined my kids' school's PTA, because they needed a treasurer and I'm good enough with numbers. It was a straightforward, self-contained job: balancing the checkbook for an organization that only did a few fundraisers each year.

When someone introduces themselves as Jason I like to say “oh, like the human-readable language independent data interchange format?” and see how long they just stare for.
1. Impact. How much revenue does my work protect or generate?
2. Quality. Does my work meet or exceed customer expectations?
3. Efficiency. Reward making the right buy versus build decision.
4. Reusability. How do others leverage my work?
5. Supportability. How much work do I create for others?
Going to repost the story about Doom Bathroom from the Something Awful forums.
It has had a life on Twitter, then cohost, and I guess it is in my rights to bring it here only because someone had made me aware recently of extra content.
I believe I originally posted this in 2018.
If your org has a "control plane team" it just means your leadership doesn't know what they're doing.
If someone missed it, here's an amazing and continuously updated list of Bluesky Starter Packs. In particular, it features categories for Cloud, Kubernetes & Cloud Native, Infrastructure as Code, Open Source, and Platform Engineering & Devops.

You may not be aware that over the last 50 years, the Supreme Court has chipped away at your Miranda rights case by case, rendering them weak and ineffective. You no longer have the right to remain silent, to an attorney, not with the foece you used to. Time for a history lesson. /🧵
Something that my Korean relatives recommended to me a while back was this channel that's dedicated to super light workouts that are between ~8 and 15 minutes long (think like walking in place, waving your arms, occasional kicks).
It's... amazing.

Had someone ask if I knew of any "intro to Bluesky content moderation systems" for the new folks, and I realized I don't actually know of anything that covers the full range of the systems that are available, so let me take a stab at it!
Johnny Somali, the nuisance streamer who travels the world committing the most culturally offensive felonies he can for views, is now in Korea. Mock-assaulting memorials to sex crime victims, Actual-harassing women, spraying rotten fish juice on subway strangers.
And he is absolutely screwed.
