😮 PERSONAL NEWS 😮 After 10 years at Facebook, I gave notice today. The intellectual challenges were perpetually daunting, both in scope and novelty—an environment in which I thrive, and relish. I’ll forever miss the inimitable pressure. So, what’s next? RETIREMENT!

We’ve all moved to Threads, right? I just can’t keep posting to and keeping up with all of these Twitter things. threads.net/@jblanton

After *15 YEARS* I'm switching from iStat Menus to @imagetasks' iStatistica Pro. It's pretty great, and I much prefer its aesthetic, especially the menu bar stuff. Only downside is that you can't hide the dock icon. Hopefully soon. 🤞🏼 imagetasks.com/istatistica/p…

What the fuck is the deal with site logins asking for your email and THEN asking for your password on a NEW page?

TIL that the last name of the creator of the lithium-ion battery is "Goodenough". He also died today.

I hope Trump stays out of prison long enough to combat Pence on the debate stage. Can you imagine? I’m salivating. 🤞🏼

We're all on Bluesky now, right? I'm tired of posting to 3 places.

I'm loving all the domain-based auth, identity, destination, etc. stuff going on lately. Just another few reasons everyone should own their own domain. - Mastodon - @[email protected] - Bluesky (Justin Blanton) @polymath.net - ENS wallet.polymath.net

After more than a decade on my homescreen, the Wikipedia app has been displaced by the new (official) ChatGPT app. End of an era.

LOVING @raycastapp's ChatGPT integration. The extensions were great, but the native implementation is fantastic. I'm done with my Python CLI interface, Obsidian's plugins, OpenAI's web dingus, etc. Only downside is that I can't use Raycast on my phone (even if only for ChatGPT).

Remember pair programming? Please say hello to your new AI coding companion, SteveIsBetterThanYou.

The number of headlines I've seen around the king's coronation. Ugh. WHO GIVES A FUCK?

Highly skeptical

Not gonna lie, I love throwing some of my code into ChatGPT and having it tell me that it can't be made more efficient. 🤷🏼‍♂️🤓

What a brilliant cover from @TheEconomist 👏🏼
