- I do use AI every day and it's incredible and frustrating.
- Turns out the secret to getting engagement on here is to hate on both AI and LinkedIn.
- If AI really is this good at making software, then where is it? Where is all the new software? What I see is a lot of LinkedIn posts.
- What a week, huh?

- Software right now feels like we work in the auto industry and someone invented the teleporter. And most of us are just using the teleporter to move parts around the car factory.

- Reposted by Benjamin GarveyI am impeaching Secretary Kristi Noem, who is an incompetent leader and a disgrace to our democracy. She wreaked havoc in the Chicagoland area and has brought her reign of terror to Minneapolis. One of her rogue ICE agents shot and killed an innocent woman today. It must come to an end.
- Reposted by Benjamin GarveyAbolish and prosecute ICE. They did a murder in broad daylight today. Imagine what they're doing in the closed facilities we're somehow not even allowed to see.
- Oh hell yeah Clearspace
- Lot of hand waving about why the Stack Overflow decline started before LLMs (all questions were asked, mature tech, discord/reddit, better docs). No, the community was hostile to new and casual users. And the UX was bad. Correct answers usually appeared as comments instead of official answers.

- If you don't know about @somafm.com, this is the best week of the year to check it out somafm.com/xmasrocks/
- I sometimes feel like I hate Christmas music, but really I just hate the same 12 recordings everyone plays.
- Imagine being comfortable with needles.
- I try not to be a hater, but if you're giving a wedding toast this year I beg you not to read it off your phone. If you can't memorize it, it's too long.

- Hey the Philadelphia Data Visualization Meetup is looking for two things: 1. A venue to host a bi-monthly meetup in Center City 2. A sponsor to cover costs for food and space. We bring 50+ smart technologists, academics, journalists, etc together each event. DM me if you're interested!
- Fabric band aids are good for 1 hour and then they look like an old treasure map.
- Are we allowed to call Underground Arts "UArts" now that UArts is closed? Asking all Philly people, but mostly @thisismari.at
