Do you have a lot of annoying admin tasks or household chores you need to accomplish, but never seem to find the time for? Then may I suggest: setting aside a day to do nothing but write, you will be amazed at how many such tasks you can accomplish.

We spent two months talking with RC alums and thinking deeply about how LLMs are changing programming and learning.
Here’s what we learned, and how we're currently thinking about AI at RC: t.co/ddFj486ch8

This whole forcing readers to create an account to read an article on Medium is such an anti hacker culture. You used work done before you for your article. And now you’re adding barriers to entry to your derived work.

In a bid to get my $$$, Strava gave me a 30 day preview of their subscription features.
The data is already available in my Garmin Connect, but the UX on Strava is just eons better. I might just end up paying for this in 30 days. 😂
Wondering if I want to instead do a Prometheus + Grafana setup. 🤔

“Why is Postgres seq-scanning rather than use this index?” 🤯
Short answer: the planner thinks that index won’t help (or can’t use it).
Longer answer—5 usual suspects 👇

I don't think AI is good or bad, but it will definitely be used for good and bad things.
Gas lamps replaced whale oil lamps. Electric lights replaced gas lamps. A hammer, a gun, and a garden can all be tools for thriving or malice.
In capitalism, AI will cause as much harm as people tolerate.

Not a fan of the Ginkgo E2E tests that came as part of the kubebuilder scaffolding. We really need to move to something that is easier to read.
Should I try writing them in Lua? Or should I stick with Python?
Most of this is running a kubectl command and waiting for things to happen.
