“Got my husband a thermal camera for Christmas and found out our cat's butthole is

A thermal photo shows the back of a cat, its tail is 72.6 degrees and its butt is 94.3.

What we are working on right now: blog.exe.dev/meet-exe.dev

This composition had eluded me for nearly a decade, but yesterday I was finally able to capture it. A train rolled through just as the Duquesne Incline was crossing over the tracks in #Pittsburgh, creating a picture perfect winter scene. It was worth the hours and hours I've waited over the years.

I came back from Sync Conf and shocked how many people are building text editors and the struggles they had with yjs.

So rather than wait for my cofounder to finish his blog, I’ll just give a quick rundown on what we do for live collab editing.

image of andrew cuomo at his nyc mayoral election watch party with disco elysium ui text overlay that reads:

Suggestion [Challenging: Failure] - You thought you did everything right. You had the money, the power, and the fame. Where did it all go wrong? Why couldn't those sniveling little city dwellers see that you were meant to lead them? You're now a twice certified loser from a family of winners. Your father's name is on a bridge. Your name is next to a Wikipedia entry that says "sexual harassment allegations."

I’m petrified about today’s science news. Genetically modifying crabs to have cheetah genes? This could go sideways fast.

A parody of John Waters' "Serial Mom", except it's "Serializable Mom". I'm holding scissors (to partition the network) and trying to channel my best homage to Kathleen Turner.

My new blog explains how Nitro did it, and how Junction brings this to any Kubernetes team.
