rust has been ruined for me now. every cargo command this is all i can think of

@samlambert Is this god emperor of dune?

how it feels to be in tech in my 30s

@paw_lean WHERE AM I MESNT TO SEE MY NOTIFICAIONS WITHOUT A WATCH THO

2 years later, I stopped wearing any smart watch or ring all together. Instead, I wake up without checking my sleep score, go to the gym and runs without tracking my heart rate and walk without trying to hit a step count… Surprisingly life is better?

@gabegreenberg @AIEMiami “your own, personal jesus”

Please caption this. what am I saying at our AI conference?

@andrewqu The internet can’t cope with this amount of information density

what if palantir built github

@jacobmparis @BenjDicken Meesa picksa best databasaa

@BenjDicken I read this as meesa! and thought it was a jar jar binks reference

This guy knows how to pick a database.

@jacobmparis @thekitze Wait, that’s a good take.

@thekitze Seven nation army is overrated

QT with his worst take

@paw_lean @SheardLuke should have asked for a clio

@SheardLuke He got a Tesla because he asked me what car I like and I said I like the Tesla because I don’t know anything about cars

My husband got a new car yesterday, the company emailed asking for feedback and he sends this:

@paw_lean This was tuesday

@dglsparsons I was Mon-Tues

I can't explain the feeling of listening to The 1975, full focus mode on and catching up with a week's worth of work after conf + PTO and getting into a zone that puts you ahead of schedule. What is this feeling?

@schniz Top 1% of all vimmers.

Is this how I sound when I pitch vim to people?

@paw_lean @aakashgupta your hand can’t take the extra weight?

@aakashgupta This is actually why I've stoped wearing Apple Watches and OURA rings all together 😂

You check your Apple Watch in the morning. Sleep score: 62. You decide it's going to be a foggy day. And then it is. A 2014 Colorado College study suggests the score itself causes the fog. 164 people walked into a lab. Researchers hooked them up to fake EEG equipment and told them the readout would show their REM percentage from the night before. Then they fabricated a number. Half the room was told 28.7%. Half was told 16.2%. The machine wasn't measuring anything. Participants took four cognitive tests. The Paced Auditory Serial Addition Test, where you add numbers spoken at increasing speed and hold your last sum in working memory while computing the next. And the Controlled Oral Word Association Task, where you generate as many words as you can starting with a single letter under time pressure. Both are gold-standard measures of attention and executive function used in clinical neurology. The 28.7% group outperformed the 16.2% group on both. Significantly. How rested participants actually felt that morning predicted nothing. The mechanism is mindset priming an executive resource. When you believe you slept well, you allocate cognitive effort more aggressively. You don't conserve. You don't pre-disengage. Belief about the resource changes how you spend it. Two control conditions ruled out demand characteristics. Participants weren't trying harder because they thought they should. Real measurable cognitive performance shifted with the number on the readout. The Apple Watch sleep score. The Oura ring readiness number. The morning ritual of checking either one is taxing the resource you're about to need. The performance gap from a fabricated REM percentage was larger than the gap from how rested participants actually felt. The number was louder than the night.

@jacobmparis “wake up im crashing”

I fall asleep in cars every time if I’m not the one driving So im pro self driving and pro manual driving but anti the middle ground where people just do nothing until suddenly they’re needed

@paw_lean you shouldn’t play tennis at conferences

Me at conferences

@wesbos @studio_hungry like github, but better, obviously

what would a "better github" even look like?

@SheardLuke @paw_lean @Flighty Get a job

@paw_lean @Flighty Rookie numbers

Stacking stats

@styfle I don’t think I’ve ever really just.. browsed npm

No one knows this because they don’t infer your system theme unfortunately

@thsottiaux No easy way to use diff subscriptions (e.g. Work + Personal)

It’s the little things that matter, what are some small papercuts you have noticed in Codex? We’ll fix as many as possible in the next week.

I am not a fish

@paw_lean @studio_hungry @JacobMGEvans @MichelleBakels @Beccalytics @ryanvogel @ReactMiamiConf Any good jokes tho?

@studio_hungry @JacobMGEvans @MichelleBakels @Beccalytics @ryanvogel @ReactMiamiConf 🫡 They keep giving me mics and I keep taking them willingly

My favourite thing to do is emcee btw! Thank you @MichelleBakels @Beccalytics for inviting me to do this, it was such an honour 💜 Also thanks @ryanvogel - loved riffing on stage 😂 @ReactMiamiConf 🦩🦩

@mehulkar Descriptions, or the actual… body? Of the PR

It's becoming pointless to read PR bodies now. The author themselves haven't read them and don't know if it's accurate. Doesn't help that agents will guess at the "why"..
