What if AI inadvertently kills remote work for everyone since we won’t be able to trust anything that we see or hear except in person?

Every single time I've cleverly stored multiple values into a single column I have regretted it later. A decade ago it saving comma separated values and now it's fancy array and jsonb. And yet it still comes back to bite me.

People really just give Operator controller of a logged in session to their life. 🤦♂️

2025 - the year of AI-generated side hustles launching in droves! Might be a good thing. 🤷♂️ 🚀

Can we all admit that for online classes, discussion post assignments are designed to free up the professor's time by keeping the students busy and that no one actually learns anything from them?

@ThisIsReckitt can you not paint your pills? I’m just trying to treat a sinus infection. I do not care what color the pill is. Why does Mucinex have Yellow 6 and Red 40?

My analogy for AI coding assistants is they’re like high-end sports equipment (golf club, running shoes, etc.). They can have a huge impact to a professional, but they’re not making an average joe into a great athlete.

🧪 @Publix I scanned one of your vanilla w/ buttercream slices on @YukaUS and it contains additives assessed as high-risk (Yellow 5, Yellow 6, Red 40, Blue 1, Red 3, Blue 2). I ask you to remove them in order to protect consumer health. #NotInMyProduct

I love Elixir, but voted No. I used it for all my MVPs, but only because I have a lot of experience with it so I can overcome the various speedbumps. For someone new, they're going to get further faster with Rails than Phoenix. Here's a recent example I ran into with a friend I referred to the Elixir/Phoenix ecosystem. His first experience was a newly generated app just didn't work. I tried to explain the issue, but he wasn't impressed and decided to try Rails since his generated app worked "out of the box". What happened? Well, since he was new, he decided to install the latest (Erlang 27.1.1, Elixir 1.17.3, Phoenix 1.17.4). This means his newly generated Phoenix app can't talk to Postgres via SSL due to changes in OTP 26. It just fails with a somewhat cryptic error. It's a relatively easy (if not well-documented) fix. However, asking users to dig into OTP changes when they don't even know what OTP is and to crawl forum posts to find the correct config . . . it's just a friction that isn't there with Rails.
