As software systems grow, understanding them becomes fragmented across people and tools. No single artifact captures how the system actually behaves.

If you couple this with voice input, I can very easily go through a few posts and give detailed feedback on each in less than a minute; it means no longer relying on inferences about the categories or collaborative filtering to guess at user preference.

The ergonomics of running large data jobs via @modal_labs is seriously my platonic ideal of this kind of workflow and a thing I wish I had years ago. It's a truly excellent realization of devx as a product. https://t.co/QZaYbChZaw

Updated my username on a whim from @146 but just realized I can never change it back because of the minimum username requirement on Twitter now. Looks like @146 is gone forever now...

Although I am a Buddhist monk, I am skeptical that prayers alone will achieve world peace. We need instead to be enthusiastic and self-confident in taking action.

Need a service that takes news articles -> one phrase reviews by experts, "mostly correct", "overblown", "might become something", etc.
