@Jeffmazev @drgurner @FoxNews definitely triceratops

@Jeffmazev @drgurner @FoxNews Big same. Kids are great. Who else is going to ask you what your favorite dinosaur is?

@r00k Beautiful dude. Thanks for sharing. I think I might need to steal this; it's always a joy each weekend I get to hang out with friends.

@kwuchu @catgirlprostate I bought the 2015 version of this printer and it's still working.

idk how else to say this, but... build your dream projects now.

I feel like all the tools are giving away a LOT for free/cheap now. It's only gotten more pricey over time, and will keep getting more expensive. Your ideas are subsidized now, think of it as a fire sale and build!

My annual exhortation:

You, reader in the tech industry, should have plural million dollars of term life insurance coverage outside of that offered through employer.

You should also strongly consider own-occupation long term disability insurance.

@holman @kwuchu "please" and "thanks" doesn't waste tokens, it's an investment

Use @time on desktop → everyone sees the timestamp in their own timezone

No more "wait, 8 o'clock YOUR time or MINE?"

@threepointone The food in Madrid is so ridiculously good.

I still think about the torreznos and grilled turbot from Roostiq.

@GergelyOrosz Legitimate question for Anthropic - why would I support Claude as a tool in my organization?

Competitors are just as good, allow for more use-cases, are less expensive, and follow open standards (https://t.co/6r31YbOqaF, ./agents/skills) that make maintenance easier.

@rauchg As a short order cook turned software engineer, it's my time to shine!

@theo 14 and already building. The kids are alright.

@anothercohen Your best bet as a new grad is to have a real command of AI tools and make yourself a force coming in the door. People want those who are AI fluent, and you'll (surprisingly) stand out.

i love america

its founding fathers were shockingly remarkable people

intelligence, honor, bravery, foresight

read their work and understand what they wanted for you

you owe it to them to be someone they would be proud of

@wesbos amazing Filipino condiment for fried or roasted pork

[Ian Agne @ianagne]

@patio11 Unreasonable Hospitality, but for interviewing loops. I'm here for it.

[Ian Agne @ianagne]

@thdxr @dillon_mulroy That's my use-case. If I want the agent to be able to invoke a command on its own, I make it a skill.

@kelseyhightower The struggle of finding a decent induction cooktop with actual knobs is real

I wasn’t there.

I didn’t know anyone who was killed, and I didn’t know anyone who knew anyone who was killed.

I was 14 and a high school freshman in Central Texas and over 1,700 miles away when it happened.
