Greg Maddux won 4 straight Cy Young awards. During that time, he pitched more complete games (37) than he allowed HRs (33)

@ggraham Also my mom's favorite surprise (3rd of 3 for her, but still)

My mom never said this, of course, but she did regularly say that I was her favorite surprise ever (I was the fourth of four). Two different takes.

My dad used to say that after the second one, the older kids pretty much raised the younger ones.

Much love for your work, Steve. On behalf of @Google, this post doesn't match the state of agentic coding at our company. Over 40K SWEs use agentic coding weekly here. Googlers have access to our own versions of @antigravity, @geminicli, custom models, skills, CLIs and MCPs for our daily work. Orchestrators, agent loops, virtual SWE teams and many other systems are actively available to folks. We'll be writing more about our stacks this year. For personal projects, many engineers actively try the same models and tools the community does - much love to Claude Code, Open Code, Conductor and others - which helps us also learn about opportunities to improve (folks can even use @AnthropicAI's models on Vertex). Many, many of us are here on @X and build our own tools in addition to make sure we're staying sharp. With so many friends working at other frontier labs and start-ups to give ourselves a baseline, Google is anything but average.

@CandideOptimum @PhilHollowayEsq Just a dolphin, ma'am.

@ggraham This youtube video also talks about this - youtu.be/dEAS7wYPFoM?si…

I don't know enough economics to write the equations and draw the charts, but my intuition is that every empire's capacity to wage war eventually succumbs to a sort of Baumol effect.

I need to go back and rewatch this movie.

@ggraham Do these people not understand "selection bias?"

Someone please produce a list of top cars, watches, and country clubs “for success”, so that aspiring successful people will know which car to buy, which watch to wear, and which club to join.

There was a farmer who grew excellent quality corn. Every year he won the prize for the best corn grown. One year, a reporter interviewed him and discovered something interesting about the way he grew corn. The reporter discovered that the farmer shares his seeds with his neighbors. "Why does he share his best seeds with his neighbors if every year they compete with his own?" the reporter asked him. "Why, sir?" the farmer replied, "didn't you know? The wind picks up the pollen from the ripe corn and swirls it from one field to another. If my neighbors grow inferior corn, cross-pollination will constantly degrade the quality of my corn. If I want to grow good corn, I must help my neighbors grow good corn." The same is true of our lives. Those who want to live good and meaningful lives must help enrich the lives of others, because the value of a life is measured by the lives it touches, and those who choose to be happy must help others find happiness, because the well-being of each is linked to the well-being of all.

@ggraham I also like "Something in the Orange" (Zach Bryan) and Nose on the Grindstone" (Tyler Childers)

There is a lot of outstanding contemporary country music. Lyrics, message, singing, music—the whole package. I am no aficionado, but I think it's in country music that we're seeing the very best contemporary popular music. Some examples:

@ggraham This is one of my favorites - hadn't heard Lori's version. Thanks for sharing.

"Humble and Kind", written by Lori McKenna. Made famous by Tim McGraw in 2016. McGraw's version is outstanding. Here's McKenna's: youtube.com/watch?v=iw9b3m…

@ggraham That's a fantastic version of a fantastic song.

"Buy Dirt", co-written by two pairs of brothers, Jordan and Jacob Davis, Josh and Matt Jenkins. Released by Jordan Davis and Luke Bryan in 2021. Their acoustic version: youtube.com/watch?v=ml9Kai…

@KeoweeSCgal @HilMcwhorter @3YearLetterman But even history majors need to take survey of calculus #requirementstext" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">catalog.gatech.edu/programs/histo…

@HilMcwhorter @3YearLetterman When did Tech stop the calculus requirement in all majors?

Georgia Tech becoming Alabama’s dumpster and Florida becoming Georgia Tech’s dumpster has been an amazing development

@PhilHollowayEsq We were there two days ago. Also happy I'm not there.

I was here 2 weeks ago! I’m glad I’m not there tonight!

@TheTrueVanguard I defeated Yorgle, Grundle, and Rhindle and found the secret room. 🗡️🗝️

Prove to me you’re an old gamer in one sentence. I’ll drop a like if I’m convinced.

My friend (who is a builder and tech entrepreneur and is married to an architect) @ggraham will likely be very interested in this.

@Kelly_Quinlan I mean @simit_shah is at all the games. Sure, he's the GOAT, but you could also give some credit to @calvinjohnsonjr. He was pretty good, too ;)

The goat is here to watch the game.
