Our analytics team has been building a shared Python library together for 18 months. I wrote today about what we can learn from our first production pipeline failure, caused by yours truly. https://t.co/PwDqIKKWWy

@rustlang nice

Laundry is a battle you can't win. Especially if you have kids.

After our second baby, the laundry situation in our home went crazy. There were piles of unsorted laundry EVERYWHERE.

Well, not anymore. Because we DIY'd a system.

@ThePrimeagen I think if you just borrow it then it’s ok. Change all “rust” to “&rust” and you should be good.

Ok it took more games than I care to admit, but finally got 100%! Super addictive game from @VinceVatter and @rbrignall

[Jason Ash | @[email protected] @ashjasont]

@VinceVatter @rbrignall bravo... this is *very* fun

[Vince Vatter @VinceVatter]

So I made a web game with @rbrignall . You can play it at https://t.co/pSFkBIisWi. Today is "day 1" so you can get in on the ground floor.

[Jason Ash | @[email protected] @ashjasont]

@swyx @abhishek_n @theappsmith I believe fivetran has logarithmic usage based pricing, which is somewhere between usage with cap and linear based on usage. I think that’s a great model: charge based on usage but discount based on scale.

object oriented programming man's greatest sin. it's a sin of pride, a sin of hubris. to think that we think we could abstract over god's creation

[origenal @manichaeistic]

object oriented programming? no thanks i do not want to solve problems of platonic essentialism to make a crud dashboard

@EmmaVitz Can’t recall a single time that I’ve used trig in an actuarial capacity… but for lots of other things, eg woodworking. Thanks, middle school geometry!

@timClicks I’m glad you’re still here

[Jason Ash | @[email protected] @ashjasont]

@KennethCassel If it’s correct code, then running the “black” code formatter on the file should fix it easily.

There’s this curious background belief many have where they think most systems must operate near the efficient frontier except of course every system they’ve ever worked inside.

[Jason Ash | @[email protected] @ashjasont]

@xaqwg @Jeopardy @KenJennings Good luck! Here’s to lots of math and logic questions (though I’m sure you’re extremely well rounded!)

@timClicks Few things: String vs str… like, should I feel bad about copying Strings or should I use str whenever possible? Then really missing the ability to experiment interactively the way I would with iPython. Common example is working with a new Rest API before I have a feel for it
