Always learning. Let's empower *everyone* with malleable software. Product Manager learning and building distributed systems with Clojure.

This case isn't on today's #SCOTUS order list, meaning that it will likely be relisted for consideration at the Supreme Court's January 9 conference. If you've watched @AdamFeldman's posts (or mine) you know the implications of that.

The Supreme Court will consider at today's conference whether to hear Suncor v. Boulder County, one of the many climate nuisance cases. This petition may be the first to avoid recusals, making it the strongest vehicle yet.

One of my favorite lessons I’ve learnt from working with smart people:
Action produces information. If you’re unsure of what to do, just do anything, even if it’s the wrong thing. This will give you information about what you should actually be doing.
Sounds simple on the surface - the hard part is making it part of your every day working process.

So much of software development is understanding the vocabulary of the problem domain. LLMs are super useful to help explore the vocabulary space of a domain.

July 20th, 1969 is a date that stands high in my life – it was the day that we, together as one people, achieved the greatest scientific and technological feat in human history. The specific role that Neil, Mike and I performed in the event was but one part of an immeasurably larger effort – not just for our nation, but for all mankind. As I look back on what we accomplished 55 years ago, I am still inspired by what we all saw and did – the best of America and the best of humanity. Thank you for the privilege and the honor of serving you, and for being part of this exciting and wonderous journey with me. #Apollo11

You forgot these words:
“Whatever company officials and politicians say in the coming days, the harsh reality is that our transmission system failed the Beryl test. Badly.”

Hurricane Beryl packed a punch. To help people better understand why this hurricane was so impactful, meteorologists and other experts have been weighing in.

Scale increases complexity dramatically, but low scale does not mean low complexity. The common architecture of an RDBMS, a search database, and queues/workers for background work is already very complex.

Showers this morning will be hit & miss with severe weather risk primarily well north & northeast of Houston. A couple showers maybe this evening before cooler, drier weather this weekend! @mattlanza has details.

Composition of heterogenous components is a challenging & common problem in software.
Why do companies buy SAP, Salesforce, Microsoft 365, et al? b/c of the “promise” the constituent pieces will work well together.
Stitching together many APIs into an application is still hard

Complexity is when two components are intertwined when they should be independent. However, there's another issue that can be just as vicious: two components being independent when they should be intertwined. I'll have a lot more to say about this when we launch later this month.

@nathanmarz Backend framework for rapid application development – no external datastore required, managed infra that seamlessly deploys across clouds and regions globally, configurable data locality and read/write consistency, with a realtime client sync solution (frontend & otherwise) 😁

So it has been 4 months since I've been laid off. I have been reluctant to make this post but I am currently still open to work. If anyone in my network knows of any positions available, I would greatly appreciate being reached out to.

An interesting thing about ChatGPT is you can script in it a bit like you would in a programming language.
You can define functions, compose them, etc. Except all in natural language!
This means you can write out common tasks and attach them to command names. For example:

#SCOTUS: Jackson dominates early rounds of oral arguments. Newest justice spoke 11,000 words in first eight arguments, per @AdamFeldman: more than twice as many as next most vocal justice, Sotomayor. Here from @RobertBarnes and @AnnMarimow. washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/…

@mdubakov I think of threads, comments, and tasks (assigned items) as protocols (a la Clojure) that would be implemented by blocks etc. From the user’s perspective, they gain a single “inbox” with their “things to review and do” full of thread replies, comment mentions, and assigned items.

Thinking about universal Threads and Comments as first-class citizens in Fibery that can be linked to Space, Entity, Block or a selected text... I wonder why all work management tools have comments that are worse than on Reddit...

Five years ago, tonight, was the Saturday night when all hell broke loose over Houston during Hurricane Harvey. If you were here, you probably remember with crystal clarity where you were, what you were doing, and the sound of that damn, damn, incessant rainfall.

@SpaceCityWX This just came up in my Facebook 'memories' from this day in 2017 — crazy times!
