Choose features wisely. Every complex feature is going to increase the cost of every future feature implementation.

This is suicidal empathy at its finest.

If some dipshit decides to destroy my mailbox for the fun of it, I must spend time, energy, and money in order to repair it.

If I repair it in such a way that he breaks his arms or his truck next time he tries to vandalize my property, that's on him for trying to vandalize my property--and maybe he'll think twice about it before making another attempt on my mailbox, or anyone else's.

No sympathy. He's an asshole, and getting his arms or truck broken is his asshole tax.

Just saw Frankenstein. @RealGDT has made another masterpiece! Do yourself a favor and see it on the big screen!

Get this man working on At the Mountains of Madness!

Robert E Howard is a quintessential American author as much as Twain. The father of Sword & Sorcery

Right now the REH house/museum is in danger of collapse and in need of repairs

I doubt the NPS will fund it but I ask @elonmusk to kindly retweet and shine a light on this

Sad news this morning. The legendary Kinky Friedman has died. He was 79. Irreverent, iconoclastic, but with a heart as big as Texas, he lived on his own terms. Truly one of a kind.

I'm trying to figure out what my favorite Kinky quote is. Among them:

1) "If elected, the first thing I'll do is demand a recount."

2) "A fool and his money are soon elected."

3) "There's a fine line between fiction and non-fiction, and I believe I snorted it in 1976."

4) "I believe musicians can run this state a lot better than politicians. We just won't get much done in the morning."

5) "Remember: Y'all is singular. All y'all is plural. All y'all's is plural possessive."

6) “Money can buy you a fine dog, but only love can make him wag his tail.”

7) "Friedman's just another word for nothing left to lose."

Kinky was not a native Texan, but he once said that he had to come to Texas because we were the only state that would put up with his nonsense. It was here that he caught up to his future. There will never be another like him.

@ChasParnell upon rewatch of Top Gun: Maverick I still can’t think of a performance that makes such an impression on so few lines of dialogue! Great job!!!

@ArchiToolkit Was a bit of snark on my part since only a few people have gotten a demo. Great minds think alike. I’ll share the repo with you.

If you like the HAP AND LEONARD TV show, write SUNDANCE and let them know, so we can keep them coming.

I'm not even sure how to respond to this. Was the reporting that bad? Or Twitter tech leads that ignorant? Blaming tech for harassment problems is some next level bullshit. smh https://t.co/1jYzwjoTZs

The CRAY-1 was rated at 160 MIPS (and 5.5 tons) - The Raspberry Pi -C is 2441 MIPS and 42 gms (ie 15 x a CRAY-1 in integer compute speed, and 130,000 times lighter) - A super-duper computer. Erlang was developed on a VAX 11/750 (0.8 MIPS) (3000 times slower than a RP) https://t.co/vM9kqBs3ag

@saronyitbarek I’m at 25 years coding professionally and I still love coding. There have been times when I’ve loved it more or less but I’m loving it more now than ever. As others have said, the bureaucracy gets old.

Our desktop app is consuming way too much memory. Customers are complaining.

Doesn't matter. This whole desktop stuff is dead anyway. The Web is the future

Oh wow! You mean I can write desktop app using web technologies? Cool!

Is only 2 type of projects: ones that must succeed, and ones that must comply to all internal corporate rules, guidelines, document templates, central tools, sourcing channels, mandatory suppliers, private infrastructure, and initiatives en vogue.
