I think Americans, blessed with relatively stable government for a long time, assume there is someone, some adult, who will step in and make things right before the President does anything REALLY bad.
Thereβs not.

Golden State Warriors warming up prior to a game, Steph Curry shooting a jump shot.
Was lucky enough to be able to go to the @warriorsofficial.bsky.social game last night. Fantastic bounce-back game and the energy at Chase when Buddy hit that 3 and on Draymond's dunk? Amazing.

We have some exciting things planned, but I'd really love to hear what sorts of code assistant agents you'd like to see and use!
That is my very favorite Google office! Amazing space to visit.

Next step: Maybe actually start posting again!
The answer to "what will I do when I can't scroll any more Twitter" is apparently "setup a Bluesky account"
