Beautiful day at the community baseball field today. The sun is shining, the flags are waving. There’s a hot dog cart and it smells great. The other team’s right fielder missed the game due to an active shooter situation. Really just a classic American Saturday

remote work life hack: suburban fast food restaurants are way better to work in than coffee shops.

The Culver’s near my house has clean bathrooms, decent WiFi, power outlets built into the tables, the dining room is empty in the afternoons…

There should be a name for the thing where we KNOW most of the professionals in our own field don’t agree on anything and are bad at their jobs, and yet assume the members of other professions must be uniformly competent and consensus-driven.

Reverse Gell-Mann amnesia?

My attempt to summarize how the business of open source got into its current nonsensical condition.

Related phenomenon: you’re going to see way less money spent on “developer marketing” as companies realize that developers don’t spend money and have little influence on those who do.
