@ivory any chance I can get mute as a swipe gesture in a future release?

@siracusa my five-year-old asked me if our car is a robot. I’d consider our car a member of the current generation of EVs. Whats the verdict?

Given the choice between hiring a big engineering school grad who can't write well and a well-lettered liberal arts grad whose school isn’t well-known for its CS program, I'm choosing the liberal arts grad ten times out of ten. Good writing is crucial to success in software engineering.

@caseyliss that wagon though …

@caseyliss boy do I wish that you didn’t mention that the price of a used Taycan has dropped quite a bit.

@coffeegeek I cannot believe this but a local cafe found a spring lever three-group Kees Van Der Westen Mirage on Facebook marketplace. Even as I drank a very good decaf espresso produced from it I couldn’t believe it. What a find 😮

oh hello. new blog post alert: "LLMs make embarrassingly parallelizable scripts even more embarrassingly parallelizable". https://www.cyberdemon.org/2025/02/28/llm-parallelism.html I write many scripts that do a bunch of completely independent tasks (like downloading a webpage). LLMs make it easy to speed them up

Xylem? I hardly Phloem!

@marcoarment OrbStack (https://orbstack.dev) also exists but I have yet to try it.

@marcoarment I'm not sure if you're completely happy with your Docker development environment yet but I would recommend taking a look at mutagen (https://github.com/mutagen-io/mutagen) and mutagen-compose if you need to sync a lot of small files or find the default bind mounts to be too slow.

For whatever reason, the file sharing implementation that Docker Desktop uses on macOS (VirtioFS) isn't quite there yet and crossing that boundary on macOS is very costly.

@TechConnectify months ago, I watched your video on door closers with my kids. My wife was sitting with us, but I didn’t think she was paying attention at the time. Fast forwards to this week when she tells me that she adjusted every last door in her work building 😮

Just a lil hop away from Cancun 🌞

These jibronis are really out here using classic dystopian novels as guidebooks.

Somehow linked my Mastodon to Bluesky, I think… is this thing on?

Here's my hot take of the evening, courtesy of a decade in the biz:

Your git history should be messy and reflective of increments large and small of work being done. Merges are good. Rebases are bad. Force pushing should be punishable by the full extent of the law.

Once your code leaves your machine, you have to respect and expect that others may be working on top of it, and pulling the rug out from under them is a dick move.
