This is a good summary of how the vaguely odious vibes that DHH has been giving off for a decade have boiled over. If you don’t know who that is/don’t have any personal investment in Ruby, you have my blessing to keep scrolling and not worry about it […]

Because there are exactly zero mentions of this in my feed today.

I just saw someone wrote that developers might feel more productive with AI...

But everyone also insists that they are that one exception who is actually good at multitasking.

And that's going to be living rent-free in my head for quite some time.

I was explaining to someone how us nerds often get to have cool stuff years before consumers because we can run it.

One of my favorites that only we get to have, is the Lyrion Music Server (https://lyrion.org/), which I've had forever and only yesterday realized it's not a music Server, it's a […]

“What the hell are the Beatles trying to do to pop music? On listening to their new album I was so shocked that I lost all appreciation of the Beatles talents. Any normal musically inclined person could never hope to like this kind of stuff. If this is a new era the group are trying to create […]

The MMR vaccine is perfectly safe. Measles is not.

MMR vaccine- studied for more than 50 years. Less than 1 in 1,000,000 chance of allergic reaction. No chance of death or permanent injury. NO evidence of increased risk of autism.

Measles- 1 in 5 will die without hospitalization. 1 in 500 will […]

Please excuse the Substack link, but given that "84% of developers now use or plan to use AI tools"*, it is interesting to see measurable proof that this does not translate to increased productivity.

"We should be seeing apps of all shapes and sizes, video games, new websites, mobile apps […]

These are extremely important observations about the AI bubble. But I have to admit that what the article says about them is probably true: the people who don't understand that what's written here is obviously true probably can't be convinced to listen, and the people who do understand don't […]

The opposition argued “no cars means no business,” but the street has been a massive retail success, the city’s busiest shopping street.

Now do Valencia Street in the Mission.

LOL. Belkin is discontinuing all my Wemo devices and the app won't support controlling them anymore.
They just turn to half-junk.

I've been really wanting to check out @homeassistant for quite some time.

Looks like that time is now! (before January 31, 2026 for sure) […]

LinkedIn new headlines talking about the dead from Texas flooding immediately followed by OPEC+ committing to pump more oil.

What's the carbon footprint of using ChatGPT? Very small compared to most of the other stuff you do.

Remember kids, the idea of your personal carbon footprint was invented by an ad agency for British Petroleum.

Keep your eye on the ball:
* your car
* your heating
* your cooking

Not your LLM queries about a Ruby script.
