Looking for the joy in computing! Mostly computer stuff, pics of my cat, and my very primitive thoughts about how to sanely build engineering teams and software companies.

“I’m not a guy who knows things, I’m a guy who figures things out” - overheard on the web (and my new personal motto)

"Initial V is a BMW shifter that has been converted to a Bluetooth keyboard ... that can control Vim."
My #SilverBullet instance on Fly.io is extremely cheap (free)! I've been running it for a couple of months, and I consistently have come in under a dollar of expense, and, since they're awesome, they don't charge anyone for bills under $5 so my usage is free!
No... I didn't add a bunch of buttons from here onto my website... why do you ask? 👀

I passed this billboard on the 101 last night, and I don't know that Silicon Valley history has ever repeated such a small detail so crisply: in the 1990s, Informix (RIP!) famously bought the billboard outside of Oracle's headquarters on the 101 and used it to taunt their competitor. Of note: "You just passed Redwood Shores; so did we." And I am dying to know if SingleStore has a 55-year-old VP of Marketing with a sense of history -- or the opposite.
Ok, I'm seriously stoked about Service Weaver. I'm glad that the "modular monolith" idea is taking off! It seems like the perfect toolkit to start building a new project/business with, as it has lots of things included. My main question: can it run on non-Google machines/clouds?

Streaming was giving me the shits today (Aussie expression, and apt).
So I got out my 50-year-old vinyl copy. Still sounds amazing. Still. Yes, there is dust in a few places - I've memorized all those pops, too - but 50 years later it still plays, and sounds better than ever because my stereo is much improved since high school.
Most important, it plays.
Analog has its strengths.
