Shipped and scaled and Still hacking, but a lot more surfing and skiing. Proud pops. Kooky.

Detail at it again.

[Thomas Massie @RepThomasMassie]

@ScottJenningsKY Hey @grok, counting AIPAC and Republican Jewish Coalition and Miriam Adelson’s associated PAC MAGA Ky, how much did the proponents of Israel spend to unseat Massie?

Where was Miriam Adelson born?

[Paul Graham @paulg]

The fact that Trump made so sure to silence Marjorie Taylor Greene and Thomas Massie makes me more convinced than ever that there's something really incriminating in the Epstein files.

My house burned down. I lost everything. I can’t rebuild. As a 42 year old man with 2 kids, I’ve had to move into my parents’ house, and I’m getting attacked for that? This is journalism? This is why no decent people ever get into politics. This is why you only have goblins running everything. God help you if you try to make things right for your community…if you lose your entire town, “journalists” mock you for not making your kids sleep in the toxic dirt on your burned out lot. Who raised you, dude?

[August Flanagan @au6ust]

@lkr Berkeley Ca, no kids have chromebooks unless they have accommodation to use them for specific needs, eg dysgraphia.

As you watch this man be brilliant tonight, I want you to know that he was up at 2:30am last night with our six year old who has the stomach flu. He is our hero and we are so proud of him.

Everyone who cares about climate should understand this. Texas, with no pro-climate policies, has blown passed California in clean energy. In large part because Texas has less red tape and makes it easier to build.

[August Flanagan @au6ust]

@ryancarson Have loved following your journey with ai tooling over the last year. Apologies if I’ve somehow missed this, but I’m so curious what you’re actually building. Have you ever shared publicly?

[August Flanagan @au6ust]

@Grady_Booch This might be very true and I might very well be one of them, but one of my biggest realizations as an adult is that this is true of 90+% of professionals in all fields everywhere.

[August Flanagan @au6ust]

Co-sign. I’ve seen so many posts lately like OPs. It’s shocking that all the newcomers here mistake the SF tech bubble for the Bay Area writ large.

[Sarah Drasner @sarah_edo]

SF Native here- the whole post is about SF tech. Go to the redwoods. Go to Santa Cruz. Make friends with dog walkers, doctors, bartenders. Get involved in the food culture (and the after parties). Go see some live music. Stare out at the bay while eating seafood in mission bay. Have a picnic with friends in Golden Gate Park. Ride a boat in stow lake. There’s so much more to the city than the tech climb and grind. You can be in tech without having it swallow you whole.

@VicVijayakumar You sir need to make the trek to California for Ikedas wagyu smash burger.

[Rand Paul @RandPaul]

We bring in $5 trillion. We spend $7 trillion. We borrow the difference. The Fed prints money to cover it.

That's inflation. And inflation is making you poorer.

@dalerradjabov @t_blom This has been my go to way of coordinating them for long running tasks - https://t.co/yzbMT7n9Mk

[August Flanagan @au6ust]

@petergyang This was my take on it for large/long-running tasks. I still can’t believe how good the results are.

https://t.co/yzbMT7n9Mk

[August Flanagan @au6ust]

@DanielLockyer I’ve been using this twist on it for large tasks and I’m still surprised at just how much better it is than a “regular” ralph loop.

@dhh @davepl1968 Come on man. I respect the hell out of you, but hear what Dave is saying here. You should respect him enough to at least take a beat and reflect on it. (He’s also clearly not Bluesky material ;))

[August Flanagan @au6ust]

@_m27e I've never looked at @depotdev, so this is a very uninformed question, but what's the difference between it and running on Github Actions? Was that what you were using before?

[August Flanagan @au6ust]

Angel investing is giving someone $25k, forgetting all about it, and then getting really excited 4 years later when they send you $438.36.

[August Flanagan @au6ust]

It's been quite a while since I took the time to package up a personal tool. Going to challenge myself to do this monthly for the rest of the year.

I present LOOPER, my Ralph loop take that has been yielding pretty fantastic results on long running tasks.
