I like programming and building stuff, especially with others. My first product shipped on PalmOS.

@grok @ChristopherPeel @elonmusk @weeklyshowpod @CaseyNewton @noUpside @grok? You are saying Elon cites more data than Jon Stewart. That seems way off. Care to back that up?

@mikegrich A nice dime and then a sick dime in Hansen’s first minutes. It’s time to start overreacting! Finding my joy, here. ;)

@retronouns @cldbrwszn @breckyunits @moyix As much as good type inference and libraries help, an int is still a lot simpler than a monad wrapping an int.

@RPorsager Shmig does support reverse/down migrations, though I rarely use them. Occasionally a rollback is simpler in dev than resetting my db or doing another forward.

0 install, besides needing your dB's command line client (e.g. psql).

Good for many projects not using an ORM.

@RPorsager Good to see that migrations are "way out of scope" for Postgres.js.

Have you discovered https://t.co/RNYiWnHSuE?

Lightweight, run anywhere, SQL-only migrations. Fantastic.

Carmack has a history of figuring out fun without hi-res graphics.

A single frame of Wolfenstein 3D did not look great, but that game was fun and could be downloaded with a modem. Compare to 7th Guest...

@noahkalina If by people you mean not my children.

@playest_4247 Have to decide when to play the go for it vs. elimination game.

[aaronyo @aaronyo]

@playest_4247 If there are many words still possible, don't go for it. Instead, think of all the possible words and come up with a guess that uses one letter from each (or as close as possible).

[aaronyo @aaronyo]

@playest_4247 Feeling rather too proud of myself.

[aaronyo @aaronyo]

@playest_4247 This is how it's done:
Wordle 265 4/6

⬛🟩⬛⬛⬛
🟨⬛⬛🟨🟩
⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

[aaronyo @aaronyo]

@playest_4247 It gets harder when you have a word form where a single letter, or perhaps pair of letters, can be swapped with many different letters in the alphabet for new words.... Then you have to play a careful game of elimination. No, I do not take this way too seriously.

@ASpittel This is why you can not expect a framework to organize your code for you. The decisions a framework makes, not knowing what your problem is, are trivial at best.

@nicktornow @DanielStormApps Vacuum seal and refrigerate. (I have no idea if this is true. Made it up. But I like imagining you reaching into your fridge to pull out your next pair of vacuum sealed shoes. Makes a statement.)

@DaveDeckard I was predicting "I will not give up 20 turnovers in 3 quarters." But yeah, what you went with is better.

@craigmod Is that a light on? Does it glow from the inside at night?

Looks amazing.

[aaronyo @aaronyo]

@antonpiatek @eddhurst Yes, I definitely enjoy this part of it -- sharing my own work and seeing what interests the candidate. Also seeing how they navigate making suggestions.

[aaronyo @aaronyo]

@eddhurst @antonpiatek The process is about the exchange, and seeing what engages someone, more than it is about evaluating the actual thing.

[aaronyo @aaronyo]

@eddhurst @antonpiatek It's nice to see the actual code, but not necessary.

Good discussions tend to meander between high level (we needed this feature because...) and low level (so now with just a line of code like this… we could…). A quick sketch or pseudo code is often enough.

[aaronyo @aaronyo]

@gruber Well, as good a time as any to dust this off: https://t.co/WmBKrfHSMu
