The tragedy of venture capital: you raise it by pitching the smartest, most innovative ideas you can imagine.

But you win customers by solving their dumbest, most annoying problems.

That misalignment kills so many startups.

So glad Prefect is now funded by the people who actually use it.

Finally got to watch @bryan-hunter.bsky.social's Waterpark talk. It's a great demo of how BEAM and Elixir can help build systems with zero downtime, while significantly reducing technical complexity. Curious about what makes Elixir special? This is the talk to see!

The developer onboarding dilemma:

Setup: "Do you want authentication?" → No

Wow! I played this a bunch in highschool, sad to see it disappear due to legal rules...
Urban Dead is closing next week, forever. It's not the kind of game that wins awards or is immortalised by industry bodies or community grandees.

But it remains one of the most innovative, anarchic games I’ve played, so I’m remembering it here.

‪the profession of software engineering isn’t going away any time soon, but unfortunately the fun parts of the job (doing adderall and generating large amounts of code) are easier to automate than the annoying parts (reviewing & debugging other people’s adderall code)‬

If you ever need an email-less day, I can recommend breaking your MX records without noticing it. It’s the easiest way to achieve inbox zero!

how do you all remember every UUID? I find it really hard. so I wrote them all down on every uuid dot com

the list has fast search across all 2^122 values (so you can find your favorites) - hoping to add some social features like "trending UUIDs" soon!

I’m not convinced of this concept called “Monday” and believe we should collectively boycott it.
