Software engineer at Reddit. ex-Facebook, ex-Google. I have opinions. They're my own, not my employer's.

I am not a big fan of doing this client-side, for a whole slew of reasons, but this is impressive engineering by the @Zalando team. I like the "lessons learned" they conclude with. https://t.co/5kZkLsT2ro

hey @Vanguard_Group, this is a problem with your site. Despite your customer service agents' insistence, my trying a different computer or different browser isn't going to help. I want to give you money, but I can't!

@ijustine How the heck are you almost 40 years old? Do you have a portrait hidden in your attic that is getting older for you?

[Brian Landers @packetslave]

@seananmcguire don't worry, I'm sure it wasn't a giant mosquito that was genetically engineered to carry Kellis-Amberlee

@ZadokDevon @SpitfireAudio if you're going to get faux upset on his behalf, you could at least get Christian Henson's name correct.

@SwiftOnSecurity Was that at Levi's? I was there taking photos too! https://t.co/wx2xT7LO5q

I swear, if I ever figure out who gave Datadog sales my personal cell phone number...

@erraggy @reprise_99 @SwiftOnSecurity Sesame seed allergy, but yeah.

@eanakashima Part one is on the front page of Hacker News, and the comments are generally as awful as you would expect.

@seananmcguire @lartist @KBSpangler @UrsulaV Disembodied Titty is the name of my new 70's bow-chicka music cover band.

@mediaphyter i dunno, the one with the hat is pretty impressive

[Brian Landers @packetslave]

@mediaphyter @meyta1cohen @drumgal95 can't forget https://t.co/MUkZ2RWNvU

@mediaphyter Internet rando #37 is proud of you.

@Charalanahzard I know someone whose brother works at the Best Buy in West LA. Does that help?

[Brian Landers @packetslave]

@copyconstruct or "AI" as an explicitly public feature of a product.

[Brian Landers @packetslave]

@copyconstruct well, it very much depends on what you mean by "AI". Very large ML models like Rankbrain were being used in search at least as far back as 2014 when I was there.

it is true that Google has only recently been focusing publicly on "AI Products"

[Brian Landers @packetslave]

@mediaphyter stunning in both :P

[Brian Landers @packetslave]

@evilgaywitch nice to see your cat trap is working.
