Maybe it is just a simple coding error. I've fixed some really stupid bugs over the years that did weird stuff like this. That being said, I don't believe it for one second, and neither should you. This administration lies incessantly! They even lie about absolutely trivial things. Not buying it.

I grew up on a literal dairy farm, and I can not endorse this enough!

The Role: Convex is a backend platform but our key differentiator is an excellent client API and developer experience. We've invested huge efforts in our client libraries, development APIs and sync protocol to make Convex a joy to use for application developers. We're looking to expand our team to develop the next version of the Convex API and help define what the modern application stack looks like. If you're an experienced TypeScript developer, care deeply about elegance and taste in API design, and believe that good platforms matter even more, not less, in an era of Al app development, then this is the job for you. What You'll Do: • Design, build, and maintain Convex's client libraries, sync protocol, and query APls. • Support new frameworks and keep track of new technologies in the app development space. • Develop an understanding of what abstractions scale and compose well in our stack so we can build libraries that are not just easy to use but also simple over the lifetime of a project. • Be self-directed to prioritize the right projects to work on, in close collaboration with the engineering team and CTO (hi! this is me, James). • Help establish good practices and design guidelines as we scale up our team and systems. • Write a bunch of cool client library code.

This is what I do at work, come work with me! We can make so many things so much better!

But that gave us a sentient Moriarty!

I think it's more that a lot of these are/were overplayed.

RIP Ryne Sandberg.

fun news! I was laid off from Twilio.

going to take this weekend to chill out, and will start looking for roles next week.

if you or someone you know is looking for staff/principal level Developer Advocacy, OSPO, dev infra, or similar roles pass them along!

reposts from tech folks appreciated <3

YouTube video by TEDx Talks Tech Promised Everything. Did it deliver? | Scott Hanselman | TEDxPortland

I just wanted to say, I’m probably more proud of this Ted talk than just about anything I’ve ever done so I’m gonna be absolutely useless for the next couple of weeks as I promote the shit out of this because I want you to watch it because it matters in the moment we are in youtu.be/dVG8W-0p6vg

The only thing I've ever liked Midori in is margaritas.

Some words go together like jelly and peanut butter… wait, that sounds super weird.

A pair of words that is used in a fixed order in an idiomatic expression is called an ‘irreversible binomial.’

‘Peanut butter and jelly’ is an example of an irreversible binomial.

While I agree that she should resign and never hold any shred of power ever again; it also likely means she'll come back here to SD. I don't like either scenario!

I'm surprised she didn't hire her own daughter.

Such an underrated movie.

Thank you! We've been genetically modifying organisms for millennia. We just did it at a slower pace and called it selective breeding.

Miscarriage Is Increasingly Dangerous for Women in Texas, Our Analysis Shows. Here’s How We Did It. Using seven years of hospital discharge data, we found that the number of blood transfusions during emergency room visits for first-trimester miscarriage shot up by 54% since Texas banned abortion.

Our analysis, which shows that more women nearly bled to death during miscarriage after Texas banned abortion, adds to a growing body of reporting revealing that maternal outcomes have gotten worse under bans.

I'll throw in a cute kid as well.

Garak, and I'm happy to see all the love for him here.
