A year ago this morning my mom, brother, and I sat with my dad and said goodbye. Life doesn't stop, and the pain doesn't go away, but it's not as sharp now I guess. tjlytle.medium.com/rememberi…

I’m putting together a Bible reading plan for next year. The full schedule will be ready before January for anyone who wants to follow the larger readings right from the start.

The weekly study guides (daily readings, questions, reflections, etc.) are something I build as we go. That lets me shape them to what’s happening in our lives week by week.

If you want the weekly study guide emailed each Saturday, I’m setting up a simple signup. Until that's ready, reply or DM me and I’ll make sure you're on the list.

This came up at dinner last night. This is what defines a faithful pastor. This is what sustains a lasting relationship. This is at the heart of every legitimate ministry. This is love.

PSA: Feel like getting more engaged here, but not sure what with how the user base here has changed. But I think I'll try to figure it out.

This looks really cool.
This is a multi-billion dollar business Dusty robotics just invented a new tool that every single construction company will end up buying Just like a Roomba, it drives around, but it’s not cleaning, instead it’s printing the floor plan on to the slab. So simple, so powerful

From an early morning slack in our dev channel: Developer knowledge / experience / understanding is still the core contributor to productivity, LLM assistance is a multiplier not an addend.

A question that came up, "are you saying there's no value when writing the test after?" Not at all, I'm saying the value you get from _writing_ the test approaches zero (or even becomes a cost). The value of _having_ the test is completely separate.

From my talk earlier this year at @phptek. I don't think I shared it here yet. Shows two things, the value of tests, and the amount / kind of tests - both against time.

So our 8 year old (@mmlytle) said today, "I saw someone with @natebargatze eyes." while we were at @FUNatDW today. Not sure what to make of that.

Also from the testing talk:

Here's a visual from my upcoming @phptek talk on writing valuable tests. Center - what we're aiming for. Outside - all the things that pull away from value. Anything I'm missing? What would you add or remove?

Things I didn't expect to hear in a meeting today: "Rabies is a great example."

c'mon @jetbrains, give me access to Junie so I can tell @Philll_T he can stop using vscode.
Using @cursor_ai lol. It's a really great tool that I'm enjoying! Lots of improvements needed but this will be the future of coding. #FrontendDev #WebDev #CodingLife #DeveloperTools #AIforDevelopers #JavaScript #TypeScript #CodeNewbie #DevCommunity #100DaysOfCode #BuildInPublic

No, she's not surprised that she's accompanying the choir, she just doesn't want me to take the stereotypical parent photo. But we're still proud of @lplytle being able to sing and accompany the choir with her piano teacher conducting.
