@dhh @adymitruk Over the years I have learned that my ‘beautiful code’ is cheaper to maintain and lasts longer. Not intrinsically rooting out the bad stuff when necessary, is what makes a system weak.

[DHH @dhh]

@adymitruk My need for beautiful code is first and foremost a human need, not a system need. It's the need of motivation, of inspiration, of aspiration. I don't care to be a programmer without that, and beautiful code produces all of it in spades for me.

[Roelof Roos @roelofroos]

@Takuta @tim_cook I felt the pain too. What pains even more is that those at Apple who saw it coming apparently could not prevent it.

I was annoyed by an @Apple Fitness medal taking up precious screen real estate for over half a year because the algorithm thought I was 'almost there.' Finally! And now this. ☹️

@Midaskwant The significance of luck is often underestimated.

@Rob_Camacho_SD It came from a plane, it split into five and the those five slowed down, like parachutes

@jelleprins Ik kreeg destijds bijna niets voor mijn inboedel. Behalve voor de duurdere stoelen (Herman Miller), die gingen weg voor 75% van de aanschafprijs.

[Roelof Roos @roelofroos]

@jelleprins Just FaceID would something for a T3 chip. You also can do that with an A-chip, once you have that you are close to a built-in AppleTV.

This always blows my mind

⁦@bchesky⁩ The problem is not what some of your hosts do, the problem is that when I reported it, you guys ignored me. I can’t trust you anymore, so I left. All those recent ‘improvements’ are peripheral. https://t.co/0HbgHXoKTn

M’n moeder, violiste Vera Beths, stond vandaag met 60 andere muzikanten op de A12 en speelde de zevende symfonie van Beethoven, waarmee ze de regering vroegen te stoppen met die idiote fossiele subsidies, die ons het leven zuur gaan maken. #ExtinctionRebellion

We spent $3,201,564.24 on cloud in 2022 at @37signals, mostly AWS. $907,837.83 on S3. $473,196.30 on RDS. $519,959.60 on OpenSearch. $123,852.30 on Elasticache. This is with long commits (S3 for 4 years!!), reserved instances, etc. Just obscene. Will publish full accounting soon.

@ewaldeng Ik denk dat het de verzekeraar is die het proces zo veel mogelijk frustreert om meer winst te maken. Er is daar helemaal de wil niet om het goed te doen. Nederlandse zuinigheid lijkt me prima, graaiende grote ondernemingen lijken me het probleem.

Ooit, toen @lucasraggers, @jandavid en ik nog @onemorething bestierden schreef @renebouwmeester een Apple kerstverhaal voor ons. De weergaloze @topvoice vertolkte vertelling. Nu, 10 jaar later heeft hij ‘m opnieuw afgemixt. Geniet! https://t.co/fQEt6UZKRi

[Roelof Roos @roelofroos]

@AppleSupport Thank you. I was hoping for something less old school. Something with technology, BlueTooth, and an app... I can’t imagine Apple didn’t think of that, and having buying a new one as the only solution for something as common as losing an AirPod.

[Roelof Roos @roelofroos]

I found a left AirPod Pro. How do I return it to its owner? @AppleSupport
