Hey new followers! 👋
This is my personal account. I sometimes post about:
- photography, books, movies
- (ex)religion, misinformation/info literacy, political extremism
- business, software, community
My day job is running a SaaS company in the devtools space.

No matter what you eat for the holidays, please never:
- comment on how much someone is eating
- comment on how little someone is eating
- comment on someone eating
This can be a major trigger for people with eating disorders. Plus it’s none of your business. Thanks!

my best code is written in a two-step process:
1. kludge a working prototype together, don’t worry about the code AT ALL. the point is understanding how the requirements function in reality
2. destroy the prototype completely. build the app for real using my better mental model

Decided to support more open source maintainers by running a merch shop for their community. Excited to launch with Ghostty, fzf, Vue.js, Redux, and... of course... Oh My Zsh.
Something new is coming from the Planet Argon team.
Introducing Commit Goods, official merch that gives back to open source projects.
Stay tuned for Black Friday sales! commitgoods.com

Many of us grew up in authoritarian environments that would later become MAGA, and we’ve heard people calling for the kinds of violence and fascistic control Trump now gives voice to.
This has been festering our whole lives and even before. Ignoring that fact only makes this crisis worse.

Bellingcat’s contact email has always been a magnet for people with fairly unusual views; paranoid delusions, sprawling conspiracies, the works. But recently, the pattern has shifted, we’re seeing more and more emails clearly written with ChatGPT.

Does anyone know how llms.txt is _actually_ being used by AI models and tooling? In my research so far, the format is very specific, and many people aren't following it correctly. How are these files being consumed in practice?
