Whether Elon or Larry has a $500B or $1T does not impact my life in the slightest.
If they were taking it from me, I'd be outraged, but economics is not a pie, and I'm busy baking my own.
Good for them, I guess. At least we know the system works as intended: it's the American Dream we profess to care about, after all.

I'm delighted that Musk is a trillionaire. Anyone else happy for him?

Gentle reminder to anyone who wishes to come at me.
I used the internet when IRC was the way to chat.
I've been through more than you can ever dream of.
Careful now.

You won't be building Chrome...
FYI that means working on it. That's what I tried to clarify.
I meant it literally. Because my point has been simple. Big tech companies don't hire you to leverage you, not often anyways.
You simply become a generic cog in their big machine.
You rarely get the opportunity to work on the products that matter.

In the past 6 months I’ve mostly written Typescript and Rust. I get the same satisfaction I got when I first picked up dart almost 6 years ago

A Black man scoring the first goal of the 2026 World Cup to silence the African continent’s most hostile nation towards Black foreigners is absolutely poetic. Thank you, Mexico! 🇲🇽

People who have access to you have no idea how unreachable you are to everyone else, until they become everyone else.

Had Claude Fable 5 log network packets and display them as cars on a highway, different car types = different packet types

These injectors are dead, which was probably because of the heat generated when I tried flux welding them.
Cause how all two dead? And fuel pump shoots into overdrive, killing my mosfet. 🤧
Damn! Hardware is expensive

Before you drive through water, ask yourself two questions…
1. Where does my car pick cold air from in the engine bay. Up top or down below ?
2. What steering column does my car have, mechanical or power assisted ?

Justice has no borders. The United States has extradited Sedina Tamakloe Attionu to Ghana, following her conviction on 70 corruption-related charges, including embezzling more than $6M equivalent in Ghanaian taxpayer funds. This is our strong U.S.-Ghana law enforcement partnership in action demonstrating a shared commitment to accountability, and the first extradition from the United States to Ghana since 2009. #USinGhana @GhanaMFA

If you're a dev who wants to build flows for clients that work on WhatsApp, Telegram and soon USSD, with the potential for AI support, comment.
I'm hoping to train a few people on universalchatbot.com
It helps you craft deterministic conversational flows that actually work

I get this argument, but me, as a mechanic & consultant, if I recommend something and u want to go the other way, I wash my hands off it.
Cos I can’t have shit on my name. Nobody can stand anywhere and rubbish any job I touch.
If engineers and contractors can’t do same, then…

I think a good engineer should always be thinking of failure states.
The key imo is that seniors know how to delegate.
Trust me, giving a feature you know you can build to someone else and guiding them no matter how slow and ensuring the feature gets completed well is key.
I'm very curious, what really distinguishes a mid-level engineer from a senior engineer?
To me, it’s not just about writing better code.
Mid-level: writes code that works.
Senior: writes code that works, fails gracefully, and can be debugged by anyone.
So IMO, the real gap is thinking in terms of failure states.
Not “what works in ideal conditions,” but “what breaks, how it breaks, and what happens next.”
I’d like to hear from others on this. What do you think actually separates mid-level from senior engineers?
