Last week, I joined Pinecone.io as a Staff Developer Advocate! I'm excited to join the team making AI more knowledgeable and can't wait to meet Pinecone users and learn how you're using vector databases and vector search in your work.

And look at this cute welcome plant they sent me?!
I can confirm that the iOS 26 spell check has been updated and is even worse now.

I have never spelled duck wrong so many times in my life.

Not to be THAT dictionary, but…

It’s ‘per se,’ not ‘per say.’
It’s ‘dog-eat-dog world,’ not ‘doggy-dog world.’
It’s ‘hunger pangs,’ not ‘hunger pains.’
It’s ‘one and the same,’ not ‘one in the same.’
It's 'buck naked,' not 'butt naked.'

also if you live in Mpls/St. Paul, this is for American Indian Magnet, so help a local teacher start out right 😘
It's my baby cousin's first year as an elementary school teacher. I am so excited because she is teaching at the same school for Indigenous kids my auntie taught at for like 30 years.

Can y'all help me clear her Amazon wishlist?

Why am I that person who’s seeing fall clothes advertised and can’t wait for fall?

Probably because fall in Minnesota is quite amazing.

30 seconds after reading this, I got the same scam text.
If you get this scam text, you should know that Code 15c-16.003 is a real law in Florida, but not in MN. Points for creativity, though

I suspect the major negative fallout of vibe coding isn’t going to be taking jobs from software developers but instead an epidemic of insecure apps that get hacked with ease

My husband has informed me that I’m an old because I’m annoyed at my neighbors who are lighting off fireworks *toward* my house and I don’t want my house to go up in flames or my two year old to wake up crying.
