Why isn’t the GitHub mobile app better? I mean that seriously: big company, obvious opportunity. Who dropped the ball?

Gmail AI is telling me to replace the word “cadre” with “group” in an email I’m writing. It’s telling me this is gonna “improve word choice”.

If I were mayor of NYC, I would just walk around the city all day thinking “damn, I’m the mayor” and that would be great. NYC is great for walking.

Hello my name is Alex Goldman and I used to host the Reply All podcast. A lot of people liked that show. Now I make @hyperfixedpod.bsky.social which if you liked reply all you’d probably like well. The thing is that a lot of people who liked Reply All don’t know my new show exists.

What’s going on with SWE recruitment right now? My LinkedIn is on fire like it’s 2021. I had a serious recruiter call my actual phone yesterday with a hundred questions for a “secret employer” hiring a “director of AI” in Toronto.

Got a bottle of Original Vetiver, now I smell like the 2000s and it’s great.

In race to, uh, accelerate with AI the “more work creators” are so far ahead of the “existing work completers” it’s making me cry.

Engineers, don’t let Claude cook your brain. It’s know it’s happening, look around you.

Just because you have the ability make any piece of custom software you want doesn’t mean you have any idea what to make. It’s a big problem.

Obviously, I use LLMs a lot in my day to day development work—we all do. I definitely see productivity benefits. But it feels like the way I use them is completely idiosyncratic to my work-style.

At this point, I can’t give anyone else advice on how to use them. I just know how I use them.

Replaced my own car battery today. Felt great. CX-5 is officially back and running again.

Canadian first for me. It was so cold this morning that my CX-5 would not start.

1) They didn’t even include the parking garage revenue here. 2) If the square is expected to make money we gotta talk about the branding.

Jeff Buckley got it

Doesn’t matter who wins. This game is for anyone who loves baseball. What a series.

I love interviewing senior software engineers. So many people have built such amazing things, real clever stuff. But, basically no one understands it so they can never truly talk or brag about it in their normal life. I love getting paid to hear those stories.

If you’ve ever lost someone, it’s impossible not be moved by this.

This guy, just chillin’ on my lawn. Not scared of me at all.

Say what you will about Jimmy, the man knows how to go viral 😂

The gas cylinder gave out in my 6-year-old @hermanmiller.com chair and they were nice enough to send me a whole new one under warranty. That’s pretty great.

Friends don’t let friends share Golang interfaces.

Matt Elliott: Yes, tech can be a force for good. Meet the people hacking Toronto for the better The volunteers who created the Civic Dashboard and BikeSpace apps this weekend mark their 10th anniversary of brainstorming and tech development with a two-day event called Civic Spark.

My @thestar.com column this week: Civic Tech in Toronto turns ten!

Incredible how basically all the information on the internet about how to wash a baseball hat is wrong.

I think those are still just two treatments a week apart—and afaik (with one kid in daycare another headed to grade 2) they work pretty well.

“Given that the drugs don’t work, the only viable debugging option is mechanical removal and surveillance” this statement seems ignore the modern class of silicone lubricant treatments like Nyda?

Any firm with an half-decent identity graph is going to have some collection of MAIDs mapped to (unsalted) HEMs, right? The leap from there to socials isn’t all that far.

Can’t wait to try it out!

Supply side benefits from this failure—incentives aren’t aligned. Helping advertisers set the tags right means fewer impression sold and less auction competition for each impression so lower CPMs.
