Other people don’t have to lose in order for you to win. It’s not us versus them. There is no difference between me and a South American migrant worker other than where I was born. We both have the right to a happy life and healthy children. If we can’t agree on such basic things then I am at a loss

I've been using agent mode, and it's really good. However, Cursor's tab completion is on another level. Still, since I prefer to type my code and not rely too much on completions, I lean towards Copilot.

today is my 40th birthday. to toot my own horn a bit, I'm the happiest, healthiest, and most successful I've ever been, so I'm going to indulge myself and do one of those "40 things that made me who I am" threads

so buckle up (or mute me for the next little bit 😆)

The Secret Rules of the Terminal, by Julia Evans - The cover illustration depicts three people doing arcane terminal magic in a temple with a smoking censer in the background. Each of the three people has curly brown hair and light brown skin. They are all wearing dresses, billowing cloaks, and utility belts with keyboard symbols on them. The one on the left holds a palette of paints and a brush. The one on the right has a staff with a $ symbol on it and a starfish at the top. The one in the centre has a sword and is reading from a book whose cover says “>_” and “./”, which rests on a lectern with a smiling snake wrapped around it.

we've already sold 1000 copies of The Secret Rules of the Terminal since it came out on Tuesday!!

so to celebrate I'm giving away 1000 copies to anyone who can't afford to buy one. You can use code BUYONEGIVEONE to get a free PDF copy if $12 USD is a lot for you.

I'm at an off-site with coworkers, so this older post seems relevant: dontbreakprod.com/posts/watch-...
