I'm a software engineer with a background in physics. My primary interests are web development, machine learning, and automation.

@Cricketnation I bought my device and paid it in full. I switched carriers. You won't unlock the phone without a phone number and PIN. I have this info for the inactive account but your support says it's invalid. Surely I can verify my identity some other way #Complaint ☹️

This is the most fun moment to be a developer in years.

The AI tools are imperfect, the patterns are still emerging, and there's genuine room for experimentation. Roll up your sleeves and build something. The earthquake is further opening up what's possible.

The best news about this new layer: traditional engineering skills are more valuable than ever, not less. It helps us minimize shipping slop.

Developers who already invested in CI/CD, testing, documentation, and code review are having the most success with AI tools. These "boring" foundations are accelerators. They turn agents from chaos generators into productivity multipliers.

The real opportunity is learning to work at a different altitude. Instead of typing syntax, we're reviewing implementations, catching edge cases, and shipping features in hours that used to take days. That's genuinely exciting.

Yes, there's a learning curve. Understanding how to provide context, iterate on plans, and review AI-generated code quickly takes practice. But this is learnable through doing - build small tools, review everything, develop intuition through repetition.

The multiplier potential is real when you combine AI speed with engineering judgment. We're not replacing coding skills but we're finally able to focus them on the interesting problems while delegating the tedious parts.

In 2024, the ad now mentions the "Device Purchase REQUIRED" restriction. Wish that was there when they launched the kiosk ☹️

@Verizon ad in @Costco for $250 card per new line. Brought a phone over, got duped by the salesman who said I'd get a card. #Disappointed

Her is a small introduction to @ZephyrIoT and #WebBluetooth, where you'll learn how to create a @BluetoothSIG GATT service in an app, flash it on a @NordicTweets #nRF52840 Dongle and connect to it with your browser. Enjoy :) /cc @tomayac @kennethrohde https://t.co/dflMqdNLYu

@twoscooters My grandma and I used to play SNEAK CHESS: You don't have to tell the other person when they are in check. If they make that move without seeing it, BOOM GG

@Wayfair Answer was no. Unhappy customer here 😡

[Daniel Bank @DanielPBank]

@Wayfair First time buyer and I forgot to put my 10% promo code in. The phone-in customer support was very unhelpful. Please can your social media team do any better to improve my CX?

[Daniel Bank @DanielPBank]

After playing #AmongUs, I've become acutely aware of when people enter rooms for a different purpose than what they just explicitly said they were going to do. So sus.

I just released tractjs https://t.co/J0zUNpYPh3 🎉

An alternative to ONNX.js which is maintained and can run LSTMs faster than any other NN library for the browser.

A thin wrapper on top of tract built by the awesome @kalizoy
