@ChaseGiunta I can relate. Two CT scans, two echograms, basically two of everything last year to hit the max out-of-pocket limit. Might have been cheaper without insurance

Called to get the non-insured price on the $7,000 test... Cost for non-insured? $230.

Agentic-first development seems to amplify ADHD symptoms because you never get into flow. Rather, you wait, wait some more, then try to get your head back into the game to validate a (sometimes overwhelming) pile of code output. Still, I prefer it

As much as I am going to miss ratchet Jasmine Crockett, I think James Talarico could be just as damaging. He is a 'Christian' who believes: God is non-binary Abortion is permitted in the Bible He hates Christian nationalism He follows porn actors and escorts on IG He seems confused.

@DataRepublican My instinct tells me that corruption and blackmail are a larger variable than any of us think. DC is a center of power, occupied by people who are occupied with power

Excited to share what I'm working on as Visiting Fellow @OversightProject. The question I'm solving: why do Republicans vote against their own party... and their own voters on issues such as mass migration and SAVE ACT? Surprising early finding: FEC donations are only weakly correlated with voting behavior. Institutional affiliations (where senators trained, what orgs they've moved through, where they have membership) predict it far better. And almost nobody tracks that systematically. Building that infrastructure now. Major stress test: why Senate Republicans are slow-walking the SAVE Act despite 80% public support. Stay tuned.

Apparently, last year was the last year I spent architecting software, writing code, and collaborating with teammates to establish consensus on such things. Now I direct agents to do that. The shift was sudden and felt oddly natural

A life well lived. Rest in peace, brother. God bless your family. Hope to see you on the other side

"Much of what is called 'social problems' consists of the fact that intellectuals have theories that do not fit the real world. From this, they conclude that it is the real world which is wrong and needs changing." — Thomas Sowell

Ditto. The political spectrum I'm concerned with is totalitarianism vs liberalism, not left vs right. The "hate speech" obsession is a the totalitarian urge to crush political dissent. It does not belong in the conservative/classical liberal vocabulary

@Renegade19711 @atensnut For those asking, Political Advertising is defined here #16-%E2%80%9Cpolitical-advertising%E2%80%9D-means-a-communication-supporting-or" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">texas.public.law/statutes/tex._… The new bill is scoped to social media posts that are already subject to advertising disclosure laws. With concerns about the influence of deep fakes, however, I'd expect the boundaries to be tested

@atensnut Please read the actual bill. capitol.texas.gov/tlodocs/89R/bi…

What I love about TypeScript is being able to refactor hundreds of lines of front-end code or write an entire feature without firing up the browser, then having only two or three bugs to fix. But I still hate TypeScript

@philcoffman Happy birthday Phil!

I'm 47 today. I feel great and have had a strong start to the year! I'm taking care of my health, being smarter with my time, working to reduce distractions and focus on being present as much as possible. Generally: Caring less about more and more about less. I recommend it.

@stuthesmith I'm about 5 years overdue for an Austin hang!

@sam_h Come visit, Sam!!

Home office lookin cute

The Craft CMS Developer Benchmark 2024 survey is ready for your response! #craftcms Please repost and share to make this the biggest one yet 🙌 survey.typeform.com/to/k7nSl1cf/

@ZTPetrizzo It was a definitely concern, addressed by a close eye on ballots this time around, and the deterrent of a locked and loaded RNC legal team 🤷‍♂️

@davidzweig Most of my Gen X Democrat friends are classical liberals. They believe in individual liberty and personal responsibility - ideas despised by the postmodern, deconstructionist, progressive left. This election was, in a philosophical frame, Locke vs. Hobbes

This is fascinating. Any hot takes on why Gen X decided the election?

@craftcms 🤣🤣🤣

@sam_h Now imagine using Yii. 🤐

Writing Sass in 2024

@mattstauffer @ImaniVJones @TightenCo Happy birthday Matt! 40 looks good on you

Turned 40 today. Feeling 20. I’m in the best phase of my life right now. I love my wife @ImaniVJones, my kids, my family, my friends, my company @TightenCo. I’ve never been happier, never been more fulfilled, never been more hopeful. Can’t wait for next year. And the next.

@motherfuton Good choice!

@sam_h Building with svelte right now!

CMS comparison: Building a motorcyle WordPress: Get a car, tear it apart, weld some parts together till it looks like a motorcycle. Drupal: Get a car factory, retool the machines till they produce motorcyles. Craft CMS: Get materials, build a motorcycle.
