It has so far cost me one of my oldest and dearest friends, my brother whose guardian I was, and my wonderful wife. Seriously, fuck all cancer but fuck pancreatic cancer to death.
It’s not like “having existed” doesn’t matter since time is the ultimate filter, but when your first supporting premise is “something, something <X> years” your argument is…wrong-footed.

But James, we can’t commodify fun. We can’t have people enjoying themselves for free!
When you don't quite recognize a song, but "you know you know it" because it's either a down-tempo acoustic mix or an up-tempo dance mix. In this instance, an acoustic version of Spin Doctors "Two Princes". Nice.

The “For you” tab is NOT for you. It is against you.
It is content you didn’t choose, selected to appeal to your base instincts, to optimize engagement metrics.
Follow the people you choose to follow.

Summer camps for kids are expensive and hard to get into.. and if you are a friend (in Colorado for starters) and can't afford it please, please, please let me know and I'll gladly treat.
Everyone wins.
Sponsored a ninja camp and a soccer camp today.
Wondering why Zephyr doesn't use jettison-able hydrogen balloons to boost into the stratosphere. It would seem to simplify ascent through the troposphere by obviating lift concerns during weather turbulence.

I know $12 USD is a lot of money for some people, so to celebrate 1000+ sales (!!!!), I'm giving away 1000 PDF copies of How Git Works (honour system: only if $12 is a lot for you!)
Here's the link, enter code BUYONEGIVEONE at checkout to get a free copy wizardzines.com/zines/git/

If I were CEO of AWS, This would be my day 1 executive order:
- All services will be renamed to have the AWS as the prefix, no more of this Amazon or AWS nonsense.
- Freeze major UI changes, all changes must be small and incremental, not more UI theme changes, we are boxy and will stay that way.
- IPv4 will remain free until we can make IPv6 not suck
- Every team has to review their AWS CLI reference docs and make sure they have a large surplus of examples, no products go out without example code.
- No product goes out without an easily replicable demo files so customers can easily experience the value add.
- Freeze any colour changes to AWS Icons or AWS Certification badge changes.
- Features will not be branded as services so people can just climbing the greed ladder. Darkmode is not a service. Sorry no promotion for you Don.
- No more platform or convience services. CodeCataylst, CodeStar, Amplify, OpsWorks, AppRunner, you have to clean out by the end of the week
- No more underbaking services on their first launch. The thing needs to work well or lets not ship it at all because they never get better and worse we get stuck
Anything else I missed? LOL

As a kid, the magic of software was that I could sit down and make something with no license, degree, or ~money.
Gotta say, publishing an iOS app from scratch today is a verrry diff vibe. I wonder how many young people's ideas we've lost at "and now register for a DUNs number."
Merely consuming JSON and emitting JSON is (even with schema validation) NOT a proper API. Please only do this for low duty-cycle “bridging” interfaces.
