@bernheisel @georgeguimaraes @mdepolli I was telling George about the giant beef ribs bbq we had in Austin @mdepolli

[Greg Vaughn @gregvaughn]

@jeffrschneider Something like a micro or turbo convection oven. Oh, you meant the other thing? Insanely multivariate statistical regression powered by an insane amount of CPU brute force. That doesn't quite roll off the tongue, does it? I should stay away from marketing.

[Greg Vaughn @gregvaughn]

"artificial intelligence" is like "air fryer". They're useful tools, but their names are counterfactual marketing hype. It bugs me to use either name. I like to think words mean things (I'm naive that way).

If somebody butt-dials you multiple times over several months, how much of that is you being prominent on their favorites list vs. they're bad a smartphoning?

[sam @Britton65Sam]

Right……

I’m excited to catch up with old friends, make new ones, learn great things, etc! I’ll be there this evening.

@Ask_Spectrum The use of “if” says you can’t help me. The chat with an agent acknowledged my problem. I’ve showed you the stupid unclickable source code of a hyperlink to Google on my delayed notice of an outage.

[Greg Vaughn @gregvaughn]

This is amateur hour @GetSpectrum showing a literal google test hyperlink

[Greg Vaughn @gregvaughn]

@Ask_Spectrum Ok. Realize there’s two levels here. I’m disappointed at the outage, but also at how it’s communicated and handled. I have over 20 years experience as a web programmer.

[Greg Vaughn @gregvaughn]

@Ask_Spectrum You sound like a bot

[Greg Vaughn @gregvaughn]

@Ask_Spectrum Ok. I had to talk to an agent to get an unannounced outage announced. Still, I chuckle at this test link that’s not even clickable.

I find myself pondering meta-emoji. Sometimes I want to recognize a particularly well chosen emoji reaction that is the perfect accent to the message. Other times I want to subtly encourage someone to never use that emoji again under any circumstances.

15 years seems both so long ago, but also memorable. It was around the time I transitioned from working for a large corp to smaller consultancies and startups. #MyTwitterAnniversary

I am on the lookout for my next employer. I'm seeking a technical leadership role where I can apply my hard-won experience, but I want to take some time to find the best fit for both sides. Elixir is strongly preferred. DMs open.

@richdownie She does a lot of code review, eh?

[Greg Vaughn @gregvaughn]

Code reviews are like dirty dishes. Even if you clean them up today, there will be more tomorrow

but some of them need to soak overnight.

If I do intermittent fasting some of the time, can I call it intermittent^2 fasting?

[Greg Vaughn @gregvaughn]

The biggest downside of an everything bagel is requisite keyboard cleaning afterward. No matter how careful I am, _something_ always finds the keyboard.

[John Athayde @JohnAthayde]

Take my money!!

[Greg Vaughn @gregvaughn]

@Adkron OK, but they're also different in a sense that those who most seek political power are the very people I least want to have it. Those who seek sports stardom, well, ... go ahead.
