I’d have to dig it up, but I read an article years ago about how in some country, people who sang “My Way” at karaoke were significantly more likely to be attacked than those who didn’t.
Happy Earth Day from my home under the aurora in Fairbanks, Alaska 💚🫶🌎

After some deliberation, I finally decided to make www.TestingLiveView.com free!
I still think it's an amazing resource, but my focus is elsewhere now. So, I wanted to make it a free resource for the community.

Also: blasting “Vindicated” and feeling heretical?
Absolutely.
"These people are stealing your tax money, robbing you of services you paid for to enrich themselves. I will stop that."
That's a pretty simple and effective message.
Well within the Acceptable Rate of Failure (ARF?!), IMO
RE tech debt:
Is _____ slowing us down, whether because it's hard to change, risky to change, or we keep fixing bugs there?
If yes, addressing it soon will boost team happiness and performance.
Otherwise, maybe it’s best to keep that loan outstanding.
Again: for any big liberal donor who wants to funnel millions into fixing this country's politics, the ROI on buying any struggling paper and simply tasking it with doing real reporting on local news is vastly higher than the same $$ given to some group that does mass ad buys every election year.
Talking about Donald Trump having dementia just gives a sympathetic excuse for inexcusable preexisting conditions. Donald has *always* been a mean, self-centered, incoherent fool who says stupid and ignorant things.
VINDICATED I AM SELFISH I AM WRONG WHEN IM RIGHT I SWEAR IM RIGHT SWEAR I KNEW IT ALL ALONG
At work, a significant portion of my time is spent writing Credo checks to improve code quality.
We've just open sourced 14 checks that we think will be useful to the #ElixirLang community, and we'll add more over time.
Give 'em a try, let me know what you think! 🎉

I've rebranded Ash Weekly to Ash Chronicle, and published the first edition for a very long time. I've been so busy but I'm happy I finally had some time to put one together!

I'm not being rhetorical in my challenge to build a budget for the median income and median rent in Los Angeles. Give it a try!
It's doable with 80s math. It is almost impossible with 2026 math.
Many people that think they are doing it, are either cheating, or skimping on something important.

sara mchenry @yellowcardigan My personal law about commas is: I will never, EVER learn the rules, and I always just put them wherever I think they're needed, like salt.

Irrelevant Take (leaving the metrics in because this was dying Twitter and people got so mad at me lol)
It may be my background in wrestling, but if I overheard that conversation (or read it), I’d think “that’s some dudes who probably like and respect each other talking about someone else they respect”
“Sidewalk-cracking” just sent me. I got a good kick out of that.
This sounds totally within the bounds of normal.
Also far and away the best wrestling conference in the country, and one of the better tennis conferences.
Folks in #NE used to be justifiably proud of being a refugee resettlement center. Now, because of unjustified, cruel interference from the federal level (and our complicit governor), all of that is ... gone.

we'll see how it shakes out over the course of years, but as of right now, mamdani is definitely showing how the future of good progressive governance means "use government to do good things and then post about it"
both parts are important!
Mind you, federal income taxes are the lowest they’ve been in generations AND we have the biggest income and wealth gap since the Napoleonic Wars AND the social safety net in America is an absolute shambles
The biggest story in the world right now is that the president of the United States is a demented old man who takes pleasure in torturing and killing people and is committing crimes with impunity. And yet most legacy media outlets are too cowardly to tell it like it is.
A former coworker with 8 years of #ElixirLang experience is looking for work. I can vouch for him being a careful, thorough engineer, and a real "manager of one." If he builds something, you can be confident it'll be solid and well thought out.

Me, joking: I can’t believe we chose “destroying the economy” and “losing wars” over “being nice to trans people occasionally”
Conservatives, dead serious: it was a tough choice, but I’m glad we picked “destroying the economy” and “losing wars” over “being nice to trans people occasionally”
I don’t redo my CV often enough to have meaningful gripes. I occasionally wish it were easier to keep formatting consistent (or to change formatting or experiment with formatting), but not enough to actually invest effort into making it easier.
I have a running text thread with @kforce1.bsky.social where we send each other memes and say “this is the cure for male loneliness”.
That text thread, also, is a cure for male loneliness.
I’ve posted it before, but it feels evergreen
The two hardest problems in Computer Science are
1. Human communication
2. Getting people in tech to believe that human communication is important
I had some cake earlier and also giggled at this deeply, deeply beautiful op-ed.
