Companies aren’t meant to last forever. They’re transient containers by which people self-actualize for a little via alchemy with other souls. Joining a company is a statement about how you want to grow. Starting a company is a statement about how you want others to grow.

Code is run more than read

Code is read more than written, code is run more than read. I think this line of thought can be extended beyond code-writing, and used as a rule of thumb to identify problems and make decisions.

Nerd BFCM stats: Shopify’s egress processed 145 billion requests on Friday. App servers handled peak of ~60 million requests per minute. Increase of 38%. Total GMV was $4.1b, up by 22% from last year. But Rails doesn't scale so what are we even doing 🤷‍♂️

✨ I made my first video game with ChatGPT: 1) ChatGPT generates a text-based adventure game with DALL-E 3 generating images for it 2) Every time you play the game is different because it generates the story and images live 3) The images from DALL-E are sent to @runwayML which turns images into video 4) The text is sent to @elevenlabs which turns the text adventure into a pirate narrator voice 5) It's merged into a video 6) Interactive buttons are overlayed The game is called: 🐒🏝️🇳🇱The Secret of Monkey Island: Amsterdam (unofficial) And you can play it here: monkeyislandamsterdam.com (video + TTS + buttons doesn't work auto yet, for now manual but text + img works, I'm building an interface for it now)

Tech debt metaphor maximalism

I really like the "tech debt" metaphor. A lot of people don't, but I think that's because they either don't extend the metaphor far enough,...

Wimbledon begins today. But do you know where the scoring system for Tennis comes from. Here's a thread so you know your 'loves' from 'lets', your 'deuces' from your 'doubles' and your sets form your 'sexagesimal system'! 😂 1/25
