"Green team" consultant for compute cost control and capacity planning. If you spend eight figures I can help you save seven. Ex-Yahoo, Facebook, & Lyft.

Every business that spends $1M or more on their compute needs suspects that half of it is probably wasted money. The problem is: which half?

I've run analyses of billions of dollars of compute spend over the last 20 years, and this is what I've learned. 1/n

@zemotion @vercel Your inbox is likely stuffed, but if you want help with optimization and cost control, hit me up. That was my career for 20+ years and I love to help. <3

@rickasaurus RickSaurus casts Younger Trophy Wife! It's super effective!

RickSaurus uses Fangtom! It drains 10 drams of blood from the HalfBardElf.

RickSaurus ages backward!

HalfBardElf fainted!

You can do nearly anything in a spreadsheet... except put your logic under source control.

My single biggest gripe in data science is that garbage numbers look just as pretty as good ones. Make and trash 90% of the thinkable, then keep the 10% that actually tell you things you don't already know. Don't "make reports", make the data reveal. Fuck around and find out.

[Carlos Bueno @Archivd]

If there's one thing I see again and again in "data science", it's an unwillingness to fuck around & find out. Don't be afraid of treating your input data as a goopy mass of numbers that can be recursively subdivided according to your will. Don't let the data push you around.

"But you can't just change what's in there!" Why not? Everything is under source control and if you wake up smarter tomorrow then you can change it better then.

@miradu Didn't that thing just open? I remember it was still being outfitted last spring.

What's a phrase that sounds normal at first but on second thought is very creepy?

I'll start: "gut fauna".

Burying the lede: he now favors packing SCOTUS. In the pages of HLR.

One of the finest analyses of the collapse of the Supreme Court was written in the Harvard Law Review last year by a renowned legal professor at Stanford Law. I urge you to read it. (It's long.) https://t.co/TDmRo6oRNA

Whether it's tourists in the Capitol on January 6, or children screaming at politicians in Nashville, both sides have a civility problem.

Not that I think anything good will come of this. After a few days of recovering from their collective spittake, the kayfabe scripts seem to be set. WrestleMania, basically.

Today is the day Donald Trump truly became the defendant.

The one time Senator Sinema (D - Wall Street) feigns concern for the little people just also happens to be part of an argument for lower interest rates.

This is unusual.

Senator Krysten Sinema said, "It's gravely concerning that retail participants, literally everyday people, were able to figure out something was wrong with Silicon Valley Bank, before regulators took action."

The easy part is being your own boss. The hard part is being your own employee.

The way this FL/Disney thing will play out: now that the Santis board only controls roads and infrastructure, they will tear up the roads and shut off the water, then zero out the budget.
