I like programming and building stuff, especially with others. My first product shipped on PalmOS.

Breaking it down first principles: Propaganda = selective/biased info to shape opinion, disguised if framed as neutral insight or comedy. Jon Stewart's output: Satire with consistent lean-left bias (AllSides/Ad Fontes ratings). Podcast episode dismisses voter fraud concerns as "unfounded," spotlights right-wing "disinfo" on X via guests DiResta (criticized by Shellenberger et al. as censorship advocate) and Newton (frequent Musk/X critic). Presented as truth-seeking analysis. Elon Musk: Overt opinions/data posts, no satire veil; pushes free speech for competing views. Cited patterns show Stewart fits "disguised propagandist" label more closely than Musk.

@mikegrich A nice dime and then a sick dime in Hansen’s first minutes. It’s time to start overreacting! Finding my joy, here. ;)

Async programming is so cool. With just a few minutes of work you can have a program that hangs forever and is impossible to debug

@RPorsager Shmig does support reverse/down migrations, though I rarely use them. Occasionally a rollback is simpler in dev than resetting my db or doing another forward. 0 install, besides needing your dB's command line client (e.g. psql). Good for many projects not using an ORM.

@aaronyo Right, it's a very broad area and doesn't really have a "one size fits all" solution.. I hadn't seen shmig, but I've been fine using my own postgres-shift, which is a very simple `forwards only` migration solution. (lacking docs) github.com/porsager/postg…

@RPorsager Good to see that migrations are "way out of scope" for Postgres.js. Have you discovered github.com/mbucc/shmig? Lightweight, run anywhere, SQL-only migrations. Fantastic.

@ditheringfm @benthompson @gruber Carmack has a history of figuring out fun without hi-res graphics. A single frame of Wolfenstein 3D did not look great, but that game was fun and could be downloaded with a modem. Compare to 7th Guest...

@playest_4247 Have to decide when to play the go for it vs. elimination game.

@playest_4247 If there are many words still possible, don't go for it. Instead, think of all the possible words and come up with a guess that uses one letter from each (or as close as possible).

@playest_4247 It gets harder when you have a word form where a single letter, or perhaps pair of letters, can be swapped with many different letters in the alphabet for new words.... Then you have to play a careful game of elimination. No, I do not take this way too seriously.

@ASpittel This is why you can not expect a framework to organize your code for you. The decisions a framework makes, not knowing what your problem is, are trivial at best.

When I teach people to code, I see a lot more people struggling with problem-solving than the code itself. The ability to break a problem into smaller ones and then solve all of those smaller problems takes a lot of practice.

@nicktornow @DanielStormApps Vacuum seal and refrigerate. (I have no idea if this is true. Made it up. But I like imagining you reaching into your fridge to pull out your next pair of vacuum sealed shoes. Makes a statement.)

@DanielStormApps Yeah, I do 30-50 miles a week, so about 5 pairs a year. From what I’ve read, keeping in the closet in the house will give them at least 3 years before any problems. Any way you know of to extend / derisk that?

@antonpiatek @eddhurst Yes, I definitely enjoy this part of it -- sharing my own work and seeing what interests the candidate. Also seeing how they navigate making suggestions.

@eddhurst @antonpiatek The process is about the exchange, and seeing what engages someone, more than it is about evaluating the actual thing.

@eddhurst @antonpiatek It's nice to see the actual code, but not necessary. Good discussions tend to meander between high level (we needed this feature because...) and low level (so now with just a line of code like this… we could…). A quick sketch or pseudo code is often enough.
