@ThoughtfulTechy Extra ham and pineapple, right? 😜

@CJSaysHowdy All this talk of pizza, I might have to order one today.

Is a two pizza team still relevant in the AI era?

@astuyve Happy Birthday! Great shirts, better product.

it's my birthday, say something nice about datadog

@catalinmpit Looks like it could be a TypeScript configuration for type hints. #issuecomment-2199018004" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">github.com/microsoft/vsco…

Does anyone know how I can get rid of those ellipses and show all text in VS Code/Cursor/Windsurf?

@forrestbrazeal Congrats to y’all, it’s a wonderful thing!

Freeman & Forrest turns one year old today. • 13 amazing full-time team members • 33% of tech's Fortune 100 under contract • More than $1.7 million paid out to technical builders and creators • $0 in funding More numbers from a wild Year 1: freemanandforrest.com/blog/3dYzROwYe…

@editingemily Love to see it! Has it really been a year?! Y’all have accomplished a lot, and I’m excited to see where it goes!

✨ Freeman & Forrest is a year old! It's been a wild, incredible journey and we've learned so much. We've genuinely unlocked the formula of how to drive incredible results for our clients through technical content. We've paid technical content creators $1.7M. I'm extraordinarily proud of that. And I'm just blown away at the results we've driven. You can read all the details at fnf.dev/one-year.

This first post contains early ideas of what I may write about and personal bits that may be unique to my background/story. I'm taking a rapid/time-box approach, writing something in about one hour and publishing it to get started. Let me know what you think!

For those who know me, I tend to be head-down, delivering solutions, tinkering, and sharing content wherever I work internally. I'm exploring what it's like to share more long-form content externally, which is not my comfort zone. blog.howdy.world/howdy-world

For those who used a computer between 1995 and 2001, what's the computer game from that time that sticks with you the most, and why?

@brooke_jamieson Oof.

Man next to me at a cafe is loudly talking about the robust AI model his company has that tells whether an email address is from a free service like gmail/hotmail on an intake form for his “big international client” and I’m going to blast off Bro you do not need AI for this

@benjamenpyle That’s going to be a tasty bird!

@labeveryday Well put, Du’an. God wastes nothing.

God has carried me my entire life. It has not been easy, but through it all he has guided my life. Now all I want to do is allow him to use me to help others.

Merry Christmas, folks! 👋🎄🧑‍🎄 I hope you and yours have a wonderful day. Photo credit to my better half. She decorated the office while I was away at AWS re:Invent 😂

@catalinmpit My only nit, there isn’t fall detection for the aging loved ones.

@catalinmpit If you appreciate analog aesthetic but want health data, consider Withings. Year 4 of having a ScanWatch. I have all notifications off, charge it monthly during a shower. Gifted to a few aging family members that have no appetite for smartwatches, they wear them daily.

I need to become a real man and give up on my Apple Watch. What entry-level non-smartwatch can y'all recommend?

✈️ See y’all soon in Vegas for AWS re:invent! 🤓 Looking forward to connecting and talking about AWS #aws #reinvent #awscertified

@rchrdbyd @ericpullen @brooksrunning I recently stumbled over Columbia and their shoes/boots for a trip. Only a month in with them, I gravitate to them vs my usuals for hiking and road walking, trip performance TBD. Waterproof and don’t look too shabby. They have 15 wides: columbia.com/c/shoes-boots-…

@ericpullen @brooksrunning I wear a 15 wide and it's the largest size the they offer. I had been buying them from Amazon for years and just switched to ordering directly from Brooks.

I ordered a new pair of @brooksrunning that were delivered on Saturday. Today is Tuesday and I got an email saying it's "time to refresh your pair". I've been receiving near daily emails that say "based on your purchase history you might like these women's shoes"

@theficouple I would answer a few other questions before making decisions: Total value of the home? Estimated property taxes? Net income and cash flow for all sources/destinations? Future planned expenses? Risk tolerance at stage of life? Savings goals and progress at stage of life?

Let’s say you had $132,000 in the bank. But you also have a $132,000 mortgage at 5.4%. Would you invest your money in the stock market or pay off the house?
