Tucker Carlson is not, under any circumstances, “the voice of reason”

This would be such a tragedy, and irreversible.

Axios is just asking questions: what if the accelerationist AI millenarians are right?

This is the least critical piece I’ve read in a while… just pure drivel.

This is a local business owner and church member who has been in the US since 1994. This is cruel and unnecessary. And the kicker is that arrests like this will shutter local economies (wine tourism in this case). It literally hurts everyone. I hope you enjoy not visiting vineyards, I guess?

explaining protocol handlers to your therapist is actually not too far-fetched

Konnor Rogers: unsolicited first interaction with someone having them tell me to “go to therapy to fix your hate problem” over me expressing displeasure about mailto: links is just weird. (source)

ngl it’s been a rough week and my anxiety is through the roof. at least the week is almost over

Someone is definitely going to make this though

“the agent can ping code owners for extra context”

In episode 1, Gilfoyle codes a MCP server to DM questions to coworkers on Slack so he doesn’t have to chat with them directly. (source)

I wonder what Russia’s political theater is like

I just became a premium subscriber to Mike Monteiro’s newsletter. The newsletter is free but you can also pay for it. Can’t wait to get more of the same.

OH: “you may wonder why a llama is talking about European regulations”

The comment history on these PRs is bleak. Remember when software development used to be teams of smart people working together, instead of mentoring chat bots?

These Russian nesting dolls are too much

Am I too old for a shiny new bmx bike

Win “friends” and influence people

If you want people to open your marketing emails, especially if it’s been a while since they heard from you, don’t make the subject “It’s been a while”

Why did i have caffeine that late

It’s highly unfortunate that “cursed knowledge” and “critical knowledge” are currently overlapping in the Venn diagram.

If you want to know more about Tulsi Gabbard and Science of Identity, the QAA podcast folks did a great episode about it.

Very excited about the weather this week

It’s a gorgeous day here in the Pacific Northwest. Just finished a morning run.

May the fourth be with you 🌤️

When the ranchers start to turn on you

“I’m no fan of big government,” Wilkins at the East Foundation said. “But a problem like this is what the government is for. We should have the government we need to handle this moment, and we don’t.”

“It’s against my programming to impersonate a deity”

Here’s what we’ve been mixing up at Honeybadger this past quarter. (that’s a pun)

Excited to ship this one!

I guess I’ll just be awake now

It’s apple fritter o’clock

Love getting The Onion in the mail.

I was recently interviewed for a Ruby Central company spotlight. I’d like it say it’s been a wild ride at Honeybadger, but it’s actually been pretty calm, relatively speaking. 😁

Thanks for writing about us!

Sinners is one to see

“Order is being processed, please don’t close this window”

Below that a big orange “Close” button. Do they do this on purpose?

Every time I see a K Line shipping container I think of IRC, am I a nerd

It’s alright
It’s okay
There’s something to live for
Jesus told me so

I am le tired

Someone who works in the parts department of a car dealership in Wisconsin saw one of our Honeybadger t-shirts and liked it so much he tracked down our 800 number and left a message. Shipping him one for free. This is what I love about my job.

It is impressive (if unsurprising) how fast Joe Kent—the Trumpist who unsuccessfully ran for congress twice in my district—failed his way into a national security scandal.

Look at this fantastic speaker lineup for Brighton Ruby in June. I am such a fan of Andy Croll!

You can just like go for a walk or a run and not track it. Crazy.

Gonna close my bank account, keep my savings in Robinhood. Live off the land (the grocery store doesn’t take crypto yet unfortunately).

Can’t a guy just enjoy some heroes in a half shell

Wife walks in to living room, “are you watching teen age mutant ninja turtles?”

And now she thinks I’m “cute” (source)

I feel like “the US President followed everyone on social media” will be one of those stories we tell our grandkids that captures the zeitgeist of the aughts but they won’t believe us.

You are genuinely describing the 2008 Obama campaign on Twitter, it followed anyone that followed him for a while. Millions of accounts (source)

I installed this mod in our realm server and it’s pretty fun/terrifying. We’ve been searching for it in caves and so far it has only stalked us. Probably gonna give the kids nightmares. 😂

It’s time for the U.S. tech and business community to drop the decorum around “politics” and start opposing this administration’s policies before they destroy our ability to do business entirely. It’s not political, it’s existential.

Is it a bad sign when you’ve pissed off the staff of Dunder Mifflin

Sat next to an older guy on a plane yesterday. Not a liberal type. A regional salesman with 42 years in the packaging industry. He said his clients are in chaos over the tariffs, and he’s traversing the U.S. to deal with the fallout. (source)

Great to see thoughtbot join Honeybadger and Transistor.fm in leaving X and Meta!

Rails is great for rapid prototyping, like when you need to replace all the US-based apps!

As a bootstrapped software founder much of my angst is just wanting to do too much with too little. And we do A LOT for our size. Gotta constantly remember that.
