This seems bad... 🤦‍♂️

@ranman Ditto (sub Diet Coke for coffee)… every day for the rest of our lives apparently. 😂

@Matt_E_Baumann I have a 2022 Platinum and it’s been the best truck I’ve ever owned. Just check if it has any deletes on it, the big one being the massaging seats. If it has those, I’d go for it first!

@clare_liguori In the IDE, is there ever going to be a way to drag files from the file browser into the chat window? Its so much faster to me to do that than click the # and find the file that way (or am I just blind to a setting that enables this?)

[ericpullen @ericpullen]

WTF is this and why do we need this? Even with as good as LLM’s have gotten, this has to be super fragile use case that an API call has to remote control a freakin VDI Windows box!

@QuinnyPig Can’t wait for them to ask how we chatted before IRC. “First you had to know the number of a BBS, something you rip off a piece of paper at a community center. Then you would dial it up and wait to see how long it took to load the FidoNet feed and when it was last refreshed”

Sometimes you get irritated enough with a problem that you just have to fix it yourself. For anyone else annoyed with paste not working on certain apps, I offer TypeAround:

Tells the app the keyboard is typing the characters from the buffer. That’s it.

@QuinnyPig Might be time for a GPON and go straight into a router.

We're hiring a Head of Engineering at @DuckbillHQ.

We think the entire cloud cost management industry is solving the wrong problem. While everyone else is building tools for making bills smaller for startups, we're building a data platform for making them more predictable and less complex across an entire enterprise.

Given we're early days, this is a builder role. You'll be in the code every day and setting the pace for the team. You'll be leading the team on foundational decisions from day one.

The engineering problems are interesting. We're processing hundreds of millions of rows of billing data per customer per month. We're modeling pricing schemes and contract structures for every provider we support. The dimensionality reaches into the thousands of columns when you combine provider billing data with customer data and the datasets hit terabytes easily. The customer needs to not just query this data, but modify it too--faster than a traditional data pipeline allows.

We're ~12 people, based in SF, well-funded through revenue and our investors, and have the kind of customer list and brand awareness most seed-stage companies spend years trying to build.

Feel free to DM me. Job post and more details about our point of view are linked below.

Got my @TakiUdon_ SuperStation One founders edition today. The hardware feels really nice and the box is very cool, now just need a few hours to start playing with it!

@QuinnyPig And its name is Isengard 😂

@awsdevelopers @ranman No love for the old ElasticWolf?!?

@jimfarley98 @Ford Kudos to @jimfarley98 and the whole @Ford team, not only for this new EV platform, but for really upping your presentation game! This beautifully conveyed the important details and truly showed the heart of what you've all been working on! More of this please!

@jacecraftmiller Nothing directly shown being used, but @DougDeMuro's latest video had this snip at around the 26min mark

@essobi This plus just knowing how to ask and how things should be architected (so you can guide in the general direction first) goes a really long way. Most days it feels like I’m just directing a coding team and making sure they don’t jump off the rails.

@QuinnyPig @Rippling I for one would just love it to say "Thank you for your service to the company, we are now even"

[ericpullen @ericpullen]

Have you ever wondered what @QuinnyPig would say if AWS finally released Savings Plans for RDS? Well wonder no more, just listen to the the end of the latest LWIA episode for a hilarious 3 minute diatribe! https://t.co/KmTXIWgF4d

If you are at #reinvent2025, stop by and say hi! We are in booth #1217 right next to Splunk.

Anyone else noticed that the @VenetianVegas smells of cigarette smoke way more than in the past? Already burning my throat just walking through the casino. #AWSreInvent
