David Byrne created a rare moment at the Santa Barbara Bowl Tuesday April 14 when he pointed to the sky as a flaming Falcon 9 Rocket launch burst from the darkness from Vandenberg Space Force Base. The crowd turned and cheered for both. (Video: Richard Weston Smith)

@JATompkins I saw them when they came to Ball State back in 2006.

@mass_ave Takes quite the ego to not read something over something so small/petty as that

[Kyle Keesling @kylekeesling]

OMG - this is great for nostalgia reasons, but is also a huge upgrade from their ad-laden website. Win-win!

Just now finding out about @weatherchannel’s retro option, music and everything, and I am weeping openly. Feels so good to be back baby https://t.co/ksAqfptyKS

@mass_ave The fact he's concerned with so-called Catholic integralists but has no self awareness that he is the protestant/evangelical equivalent is not lost on me

[Kyle Keesling @kylekeesling]

@DnuLkjkjh Ill be doing this too. Even though I like the idea of it having a memory file I think it's worth having a belt and suspenders here.

[Kyle Keesling @kylekeesling]

No big deal, just Claude Code casually pretending that Github checks returning a 502 error equates to them all passing and using the --admin flag to force merge a PR 🙃

Luckily it was a small PR but this is pretty disappointing.

Here's to hope it's memory sticks.

It threw me for a loop this morning seeing MY name in Overcast.

Thanks for @brendanwb and @ryanrfrisch for having me on The Rails Business podcast. I really enjoyed it!

[Kyle Keesling @kylekeesling]

@LGMicahBeckwith You are a joke.

[Kyle Keesling @kylekeesling]

Has anyone had Claude Code make changes even when it's in plan mode?

First time I've seen this but just a little concerning.

[Kyle Keesling @kylekeesling]

Has anyone vibe-coded a browser extension that hides all the bullshit Quickbooks tries to sell you even after you tell them no every... single... day?

[Kyle Keesling @kylekeesling]

Man, GitHub has been having lots of issues lately.

[Kyle Keesling @kylekeesling]

@jessethanley @yongfook Hetzner + Kamal has been an amazing combo for me

[Kyle Keesling @kylekeesling]

@brennandunn We had to use SAP recently to invoice a customer and I’ve never felt so much pain from using a piece of software.

I’m convinced they get big enough that they just stop caring / know they have a captive audience due to the millions of dollars their clients spent implementing it

@Zendesk / @ZendeskOps - can you please help??

[Kyle Keesling @kylekeesling]

Is anyone else getting spammed by seemingly every Zendesk helpdesk that exists asking you to activate your account?

[Kyle Keesling @kylekeesling]

Using AI to help code is helping me break the habit of committing directly to main.

There are times I still miss it for simple fixes but having the safeguard in place to prevent agents from going rogue and being able to deploy code is far more worth it.
