So happy to hear you got some good stuff out of our conversation! That’s genuinely a cherry on top of a pretty good day. Thank you, Jan! ❤️

Boy, am I ever!!!

LOL

And what the heck is a Billiken

So glad this came across your radar. We, and I, are genuinely huge fans of y’all’s work so - thank you!

Joel Oliveira: Predictability Is a Maintainability Feature Predictability might be the most underrated feature of maintainable software. Joel Oliveira joins Robby to explore how thoughtful patterns, small refactors, and a bit of stubborn persistence can keep…

Loved this episode with @jayroh.dev on maintainability & predictability.
And yes — it’s imgproxy, not ImageProxy 😉

Imagine if high school English classes did some psychological Jedi mind-trick shit and made kids think they *chose* the book instead of being forced to read it? Call it a “book club” instead of “homework”?

Assign my Moby Dick? FOH
Make me think it’s pleasure reading? LFG

I have the same one. Highly recommend them!

Almost HAD to happen this way

@pfrazee.com I have an important question. Favorite thing about your experience at U of Hartford?

(So random that you went to Uha. It’s like … you and Vin Baker. Full disclosure: UHA ‘99 over here.)

Hey here’s an idea. 💡 Could we get you 3 on the RC board??? 🤔 Just a thought.

Seriously though thank you for the measured and reasonable take(s). “Refreshing” if I had to pick one word.

Deciding to shut down Shubox In which I let go of Shubox

I decided to shut down the thing (shubox.io) I've worked on in my spare time for the past 9+ years:

In retrospect, this was overdue, and the relief I feel in the wake of that decision is immeasurable. I don't regret a thing.

Just one? That’s it? My friend, you are fortunate!

Write things out.

It’s not always easy,
but it helps.

Love,

Your mind.

Get Marc Silvestri back!

Swing for the fences and get Zdarsky down here too! 🙏 🙏

Are baseball game broadcasters taught somewhere along the way to talk like this??

What is with that … affect? That intonation?

I don’t know if tmux would have *stuck* with me if I didn’t prefer working in the context of a terminal 24/7. I’m a vim person so the combo of vim & tmux has been a well paired marriage. If I was a VS Code user I don’t think it’s worth it. UNLESS you want long-lived sessions on a remote shell.

Tmux can and does still support scroll-back. I never really even think about that as a potential snag or issue.

And for the record - that sounds lovely 😊

Well alright - let’s get this conversation started then. I’ll get to coordinating! (I’ll email you!)

Butting in here but … @jremsikjr.bsky.social I hear you have a connection or 2 with ties to Boston (*cough* ezcater). Come EAST!

woooooooooow

Is there even a question … ?

How can anyone say with a straight face that Chatgpt is better than Claude? Sure, OpenAI has the market share but the entire experience w/Claude is superior, IMO.
