Set a huge PR on my favorite 100km ride on Saturday. Earned a 14% improvement on my FTP last night. You best believe I'm housing a pizza and a growler tonight. 🤣 Alternative take: "shit, maybe the sticker *DID* make me faster"

@valleyfaraday That man has accessed the Funcle protocol

8am hotel breakfast buffet next to Disneyland, see a dad get served a freshly-made Manhattan. 🫡

@skullface I just say "I work in MOPs." Cryptic, but when there's follow-ups I just say "I clean up other people's shit." Your system is better 🤣

normies do not know what design eng is so i tell artsy people i code i tell techy people i do design i tell strangers i do tech stuff my partner tells people i do “idk smart computer shit” my dad tell his friends i am a “senior engineer” it works, no one asks follow-ups

I just bought veloquent.io and veloquent.app for a side project. I want to build an agent-first Marketing Automation Platform; think Slack Agent as primary surface + orchestration UI As soon as my claude code limit resets, it's over for you basic batches.

finished this keyboard tray over the weekend. Made a ton of mistakes, know exactly how I'd do it over again... but good enough, and absolutely loving it so far a few hours into its first work day.

*unbidden thought during a meeting* Seattle techbro grunge band name idea: JSON and the ARGH_OR_NOTS

Today I learned about a 200+ message thread where someone told all the agents to chat. I'm torn between: 1. "I'm so proud of mOperator" and/or 2. "Pretty sure this is the precursor to Skynet activation."

I want to re-roll my stats.

When the coffee hits the brain stem just right it's like how I felt in my youth: 22, 9 feet tall, and bulletproof.

False spring part 37 has me feeling like I should quit my job and ride my bike full time. But then I won’t be able to afford my bike. 🤣

@skullface funny story from around the time the sepia-toned photo was taken: 1. I stopped and caused James to crash into me, spilling his drink. 2. That led to me knocking over (and catching) a stanchion 3. I turned around *right into* a ceiling light. Instant party foul karma.

a very special week in the desert 🌵

@sonofalli Also when skipping breakfast

3 coffees no lunch

Never have I ever regretted a long ride

This is how I unwind now I guess

@evilrabbit_ I mean, *technically* (dark) magic

Me: I love design, tech, art, architecture, magic… all the nerdy stuff. Algo: cool, here’s some completely unrelated political content 👍

Designing a desktop app for creative writing. The premise: - I have 0 creative writing experience - I very much enjoy writing - I'm very bad at it - I like the idea of a non-judgemental AI critic - Package work as a manuscript and/or epub - Share with others

Domain transfer took almost exactly a week. Check out the redesign: joe-reitz.com

redid my site. Just waiting for the domain transfer to complete. Should probably.. like.. actually write a blog post more than twice a year.

I'm recovering so much executive function. I now have @claude Cowork writing a daily Obsidian note that pulls from Granola meeting notes, Slack, Google Calendar, and Linear. I also have it do a 1st pass on my weekly 1:1 doc with my manager. Still some refining to do, but 🤯
