After having a third baby (yay), I found myself building a finance planning tool during some of the windows when I was up at night. On Track - months compound. See monthly commitments to different investments play out over time. on-track.ezra-match.workers.…

This is not okay. Regardless of her citizenship (and witnesses indicated she is a U.S. citizen), this kind of thuggish behavior by ICE agents is completely over the top. Choking her & gouging her eyes is excessive force. The government is supposed to be in service of all of us.
Part of the promise of llm's having access to docs/jira/email/everything, through protocols like MCP, is the possibility of _less_ distraction. I often feel jostled around on the computer. llm's could help!
Woah
We’ve developed Gemini Diffusion: our state-of-the-art text diffusion model.
Instead of predicting text directly, it learns to generate outputs by refining noise, step-by-step. This helps it excel at coding and math, where it can iterate over solutions quickly. #GoogleIO
My thoughts after a few days with Rama, and a short step-by-step getting started for Clojure. I share some of the promise I see in the project, and maybe help get ahead of the first few gotchas. github.com/EzraM/on-rama @redplanetlabs Thanks @nathanmarz for building this!
The microservices we built @insureon on top of @eventstoredb were stateless, in the sense that the services did not own state. State was in events, which lived elsewhere.
We moved a (very) slow database-backed query to a @meilisearch index. The first time people saw the results pop in, (load times <30ms for the search) -- that was fun.
I've found the idea of stateless microservices to be sticky in my head. Thinking about it.

Kind of amazing how much browser developer tools have improved over the years. One example: drilling down in Network panel on Chrome/Edge to see the stack of functions that led to a url being requested.
This is really cool. Good work @dustingetz and team. On a journey! hyperfiddle.notion.site/Reac…
One of the most delightful things about being a frontend developer over the last handful of years is seeing the way @reactjs has managed their API with care and intention. It's like being near master gardeners.
Surprises me each time I see it, because it has a kind of midwestern quiet about it, but the largest digital agency for insurance in the U.S. is @insureon.
In the process of switching checking accounts, which means visiting many billing portals, and it's amazing how each page is particular to each company. There are plenty of similarities, but the culture of each place -- good and bad -- comes through.
Each time I evaluate a few lines of #fsharp in a repl, it's like doing a magic trick. Double the magic if it's calling a .net library written in c#. Triple when it's from the company nuget. Coding without gloves.
