you should add megabool to your projects

Please watch this movie trailer through to the very end so that you can experience the greatest title reveal of all time. Watching this in a theater made me lose my mind.

(Thread) In the first What If? book, I answered a question about cooking a steak by dropping it from space. At one point, I commented—jokingly!—that if anyone put a steak in a hypersonic wind tunnel to gather better data, I’d love to see the video. Well, I have good news.

”The quality of a system is defined by our ability to change it!” Great opening keynote from @davefarley77 at #YOW22

This is neat

@ZachACole Both are above freezing mate 🙃

38° is the perfect above freezing temperature. 25° is the perfect below freezing temperature.

It’s important to understand that DRY increases coupling. Combined with microservices, which often require migrations to make changes safely, they make a system more brittle and difficult to change and maintain over time. This also leads to greater blast radius when things break.

@rileycrane We’ve all started listening to Mariah already haven’t we?

There’s no good holiday music between “spooky, scary skeletons” 💀🎃 and “All I want for Christmas is you” 🎄

Give them ample warning. Give them context so they can prepare. Remind them frequently of its importance. Be calm when it happens. Don’t panic when it goes sideways (it usually does). Look for learnings. Share those learnings. And repeat. Like forever.

Mastodon's big idea is that there is no one server, it's all distributed. But then humans arrived and did their human thing so most of them picked one server, and now that server is down.

After five years of incredible work, our CTO @SpencerCDixon has decided to move to a part-time IC role at the company. We're now looking for a CTO to lead our small but mighty engineering team (and work closely with me!). tuple.app/jobs/cto
