Our democracy is too precious to be a plaything for foreign tech barons.
Elon Musk doesn’t care about the British people or our rights. He only cares about himself and his ego.

went down a rabbit hole last night of looking up old thinkpads to buy as a backup laptop (that's how I'm justifying this). T14 with an AMD Ryzen seems to be a reasonable choice.

Gonna post about AI
My thoughts on what I see a lot of AI doing in software engineering is creating many new LOC that should be handled by higher levels of abstraction or more comprehensive platform implementations.

Just found the AWS cheat code URL that redirects ARNs to their console page.
This is what my go project was doing.
I got to learn a little go, no longer need to maintain hundreds of case statements to map resource types to urls. And I should get this out much quicker.
Everyone’s a winner!

"Hire great people and get out of their way" is horrendous, disastrous advice!
You need to hire great people and create alignment. You have to be in the details together deep enough, LONG enough to do that!

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.
Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO
