I write software for a living, but mostly wish I was running in the woods. My last name rhymes with “car”.

While I was in charge of comms at HashiCorp, I had a rule that when a competitor (even the rude ones) had a big announcement, no one at HC could talk about us. Let them have their moment, their day. Don't use it as an opportunity to advertise alternatives, its a bad look. i.e. a hypothetical: someone announces a new secrets manager. Absolutely no one talk about Vault. Don't say "oh Vault has this feature too." Don't say "they're missing all these things Vault can do." Don't say "if you like this, also check out Vault." Just don't say anything. Shipping is such an amazing day, let the people who worked hard on it enjoy their moment. Maybe someone can find a time or two this rule was broken (I'd be curious if it /ever/ was), but it should be pretty easy to go back in history and see this to be true. I'll say I have noticed it broken a couple times by non-employees but obviously... nothing I could've done about that. And also, I obviously don't work at HC anymore, but even prior to that I wasn't deeply involved in comms for a couple years or more so I'm not sure if this was broken during that time either. Unsure.

There are competitors that try to compete by tearing others down and there are competitors that compete by building themselves up. The former group is always a bunch of clowns and a huge red flag. The latter gets my respect. (This isn't a subtweet to anyone)

Why would you spend a second thinking about the Roman Empire when you could think about the rise and fall of Lisp machines in the 80s

His self-titled record is one of those albums where the louder you play it, the more subtleties you notice in the production. A classic

Has anyone under the age of 30 even heard of the 37signals guys? Why is every smug opinion of theirs still newsworthy?

Watching Jack Ryan season 2 (yeah… don’t ask) They use Bogotá as “Venezuela”. The people speaking Spanish literally from all over the place. Such a mix of accents… quite hard to believe any of it
