The first thing I did at @tryramp was set up distributed tracing, structured logging, and metrics for Inspect, our background coding agent. We now have full visibility in to everything the system is doing: the browser, CF workers/DOs, @modal sandboxes, database calls, etc. Most importantly, Inspect now has visibility in to itself. It can self-triage runtime errors it encounters and create PRs to fix them. Every morning, it reviews the past 24 hours of its own @datadoghq dashboard, identifies systemic issues, new errors, and long tail latencies, and has a summary PR waiting for me at 9am.

Would you pull Saquon Barkley off the field to file expense reports? You better not say yes. Welcome @tryramp’s newest, fastest partner and investor, and the star of our very first big game ad β€” @saquon! Let’s go birds πŸ¦…

Amazing / rare opportunity! Ramp (fastest growing startup of all time, iykyk) is looking for Android contractors to help build their rocket ship. Option for full time available too (1/2)

Today was my last day at @lyft as I've been affected by recent layoffs. It's very sad to have to leave after this 4 years but as I do it I can only look back and feel grateful for the opportunity I was given to be part of that incredible team.

I was laid off from Lyft today, so I'm looking for work! If you're hiring remote or in Montreal, hit me up. 12 years iOS experience, 9 years Swift. My DMs are open.

I've worked on low level stuff (networking & databases), product stuff (built transit, bikes & scooters into Lyft), tooling stuff, open source stuff and lots of other stuff.

Twitter has been my online home for the last 13 years, but the people running the show there are making morally reprehensible choices I can't support. I'll be hanging out at jpsim at hachyderm dot io πŸ‘‹

This is cringe, but I literally asked my (now) wife to go out with me on this site 11 years ago! x.com/simjp/status/104411674…

Replying to @C_Contant
@c_contant Nice meeting you! You're clearly smart & driven & you left before I could ask you this, but we should go for drinks sometime

If ever you want to analyze the binary size of a SwiftPM executable, turns out that Bloaty & SwiftPM work pretty nicely together 🀝 gist.github.com/jpsim/80023b…

AWS Macs are expensive, but it's soooo nice to be able to take a snapshot of a live instance nearly instantaneously, then deploy that on a new instance within a few minutes.

Sickos: @YES… HA HA HA… @YES!
NSPredicates are Turing Complete, even when minimally using the objective-c runtime. TERNARY expressions are conditionals and an expression can evaluate itself to perform unbounded loops. below is a single NSExpression that is a full brainfuck interpreter gist.github.com/aemmitt-ns/4…
