Me, at Lowe's, 11 days before Halloween.
I asked a clerk where the Halloween decorations were. He said they "went on clearance 2 weeks ago, orders from corporate."
We can't even enjoy the holiday that's not even happened yet, apparently.
Slow the F down, corporate.

In 1994, software was dead. People told me programming was for nerds and that I should become a doctor or a lawyer instead.
In 2004, software was dead. People told me that someone from India would take my job for $5/hour.
In 2014, software was dead. People told me that no-code was going to kill every job and doom my career.
In 2024, software was dead with Devin, Windsurf, Copilot, and OpenAI o1.
We kill software every 10 years, and yet the demand for good Software Engineers has never been higher.
Disney+: In 2026, alternatively can’t figure out hope to play audio or video after an ad.
Also Disney+: “We’re raising the price again. 🤷♂️”
You know, @DisneyPlus, I can remedy you from the burden of my money if this is becoming too much for you.

Random Austin bucket list item. I found Peter's apartment from Office Space. – at Austin, TX
Watching a documentary about Oasis.
I have no idea what anyone is saying.
Even the subtitles are unintelligible.
The music is amazing, though.

My dog was sick so we took her to the vet.
I never knew an animal could communicate “They put a cone on my head and poked a needle in my arm. You and me? We are not on good terms.” without saying a word.

I have a friend whose stress tolerance absolutely marvels me, 100% a psychopath because no normal person could tolerate that much stress and not completely crumble, handles it all with charisma and swagger too, truly exceptional and definitely someone to look up to in that regard, I once asked him if there's any mental models he employs to just keep pushing through and he looked me dead in the eyes and said "When I see a storm, I just know I will ride that storm to the end, I am the storm rider"
Really sad to hear about Robert X. Cringely's passing.
Go watch "Triumph of the Nerds" and "Nerds 2.0.1"
"speed without judgment or empathy is just another way to make bad decisions faster.
people aren’t software subscriptions.
the goal shouldn’t be to maximize turnover. it should be to learn quickly, communicate honestly, make timely decisions, and treat people fairly when things don’t work out."

Everyone saying software is dead doesn’t know any normal people at all, sorry.
Normal people won’t be making software.
I am surrounded by normal people and tech is my hobby, this is how I can see it.
For many of you, you are surrounded by tech people and learning about normal people is your hobby.
Please listen to those of us who interact with normal people often.
They will not be building software.
Many of them don’t even open their email.
Like, ever.
I am not joking.

Have you guys seen the at guy who uses an Apple Vision Pro to do all his installs?
Feels like looking at tech from the future

Andrew Huberman on how Silicon Valley changed after Steve Jobs:
"What's unique about the Bay Area is that people care about the past, but it's really about what's happening now and the future.
There's not a lot of pomp and circumstance.
If you were to go to Cafe Borrone in Menlo Park in the early 2000s, you'd see somebody who had founded a huge company and is a billionaire, and they were just around.
No one cared.
What's changed since Steve Jobs is that now the technologists are celebrities.
In the Bay Area, it used to be you wanted to do something that exported everywhere, but you were sort of invisible.
It was cool mostly because it was about the stuff people were doing and less about the people. And I sort of wish for that more."
My conversation with Andrew Huberman (@hubermanlab).
I didn't expect us to spend so much time on the frontier of neurotechnology, and how we'll soon be able to precisely measure and change our brain states, both awake and asleep. It was fascinating.
Also discuss:
- Building and keeping energy
- How to downshift and fall asleep quickly
- Neuralink and BCI
- The state of health media
- Following your curiosity
This was a fun one. Enjoy!

Why local AI is addicting in 2 pictures.
The left is GLM 5.3 Flash running on 2 rtx pro 6000s. The right is OAI's best model.
In normal speak: the left is an open source model on 2 high-end Nvidia GPUs. The right is Big Evil Silicon Valley AI.
Local AI is fast enough to keep my state of flow.
