So many offers over my career to specialize (PeopleSoft, Oracle, SAP, SharePoint) and very lucrative opportunities.

I turned every offer down because being a generalist has always served me and my employers well.

It’s important to remember that everything Trump has done since 2020 including this last year has all been to avoid jail because of the Epstein files.

Highest temp on a grill. No prep just put steaks on grill.

Flip every 2 minutes.

4m - rare
6m - medium rare
8m - medium
10m - medium well

More than 10 minutes you don’t deserve to eat any steak.

Obviously this depends on cut but I usually have 3/4” thick steaks.

YMMV

I built a 41 year IT career being a generalist.

As an ex-President he’d be given top tier apartment imprisonment with continued secret service protection. He’s never going to be held accountable.

100% one of the best with ultimate reveal.

Sad that our current third spaces are urban battlegrounds with the federal government.

I’m frightened by the extent of wealthy and powerful men involved that we don’t know about and this is why corporate America is silent about the executive branch insanity.

The West Wing episode Talking Points about media ownership and fascism was prophetic and positioned as CJ's craziness.

Glenn Close and William Fichtner in The West wing Episode, The Supremes.

The West Wing: The Supremes episode is easily one of my favorite.

SNL skit meets Bluesky.

Small targeted models with higher accuracy are definitely on the rise. This will be the big internal technical innovation for companies.

I’m looking forward to some future time when American Idiot is no longer politically relevant.

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning.

Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

In case you missed it, a Republican in *checks notes* … Texas — who Trump endorsed — just underperformed Trump by 30 points and lost a special election.

The panic is going to be delicious.

Official Sharpee 0.9.62-beta I accomplished a lot of polish for an official Sharpee release, though still in beta. The story runner Zifmia has downloads for Windows, Ubuntu, and MacOS. (if other Linux distro downloads are needed...

Ocean Beach this morning… just wow!!

Sure, but this is not the fault of GenAI. We’re still teaching and mentoring software engineering, design patterns, architecture. If a dev is trying to ignore principles, that’s on them.

I would correct this behavior very fast for all direct reports.

This not what happens when using GenAI.

You instead think about design and structure instead of blocks of code. Your thinking is just as critical as it always was.

We really need a 🤬 button here.

It wasn’t just Cosby and Weinstein. It wasn’t just Trump or Clinton. It wasn’t just democrats or republicans.

It was nearly all wealthy men with cover from our banks and other leaders.

They were raping little girls.

They’re all guilty or complicit.

The wealthy are evil and corrupt.

This is a re-post because the Dungeon byline was incorrect. The 1.0 release of Sharpee is looming.

If only today's GOP respected and loved the US Constitution as much as the GOP of The West Wing.

And I’ll add: I think both Siskel and Ebert would have loved it. I’m hearing both say something like, “Weird, but thought-provoking. Thumbs up.”
