Gabriel Pec #11 for LA is a garbage player. Step up and play some soccer. Quit diving and playing like a victim.

I will never get tired of pushing and merging code and watching the CI pipelines do magic to test and deploy code.

Scripting automation is such a joy.

It just depends on how long you’ve been doing it. With less than 5 years in the field that is probably true. But once you’ve been in web work for 10, 15, 20 years? You’ve seen it all and can do it all.

I miss the early days of twitter. Bluesky has that feel.

No matter how many people they fire, personnel payroll is such a small percentage of government spending it will never help.

But without workers it will be much easier to commit fraud which is their real intention.

Just wait till you start looking at really weird stuff like outer left joins. So much fun!

And it appears they are hiding bad reviews. Google you are a POS.

Google removed the ability to report the incorrectly named geographic feature on their map.

Please like my review to increase its visibility.

The discovery that cows in Nevada have become infected with a new strain of avian flu is a public health red flag we cannot afford to ignore. This virus is mutating in alarming and innovative ways, and the silence from federal agencies and leadership is deafening.

Elon had to pay $44B to buy and destroy twitter. He bought the entire U.S. government for the bargain price of $277M.

Destroying twitter was the practice run for what’s happening now.

I am starting to think DJT actually believes tariffs are a tax on foreign countries. Originally I thought he was lying or misleading people. But now I think we are just seeing another example of how disconnected from reality he really is.

I think they just promoted Tab soda on a Coke commercial about AI.

This is why I don’t watch TV.

Spending a weekend upgrading infrastructure and libraries for a SaaS product I am building is not a thing most of my friends understand.

All the bullshit of work but with no benefits other than I know I did the right thing.

Upgraded all the AWS infrastructure and CDK libraries for VinoSeeker.com

My buddy Ryan is at that game. I am sure he appreciates the effort.

Do you actually have energy for enemies? I just have people I don’t wish well anymore. :)

I don’t wish them anything at all. They no longer have my consideration.

Once I don’t have to take my daughter to basketball on Thursdays I’ll take a night and cross the river.

Cheers!

Mark your terminology here is an issue. If you log in and use their services this is an issue. But the model is open source and if you download it and run it locally it doesn’t transmit anything.

In this case downloading is good.

I wrote my first langchain app in JavaScript tonight. I used both web and pdf content to create a vector store and ran queries on that data using deepseek-r1 running locally on ollama.

That’s the nerdiest thing I’ve said in years.

I don’t know if AirPods are special. Or if the tech has changed since my last trials. Or maybe I am old now and not as sensitive as I once was.

Regardless the effect is amazing!
