Dog people always act like dogs are so much better than cats but as a cat person just wanna say that you never see cats working with the cops

Still doesn’t make sense...you have to choose the type of piece the pawn gets promoted to. Usually you choose queen, but there are times you would prefer to choose a knight. Also, the ability to castle is a pretty big deal. Thanks for passing this on to the devs!

Big shout-out to Killer Burger for getting nutritional information on their menus! Thank you thank you THANK YOU!!! KB is my favorite once-a-week post-workout treat, and I've been doing my best to estimate calories and macros, but now I don't have to guess!

Hey, Crystal Ballroom and They Might Be Giants, we love that you're coming to Portland...but why you hatin' on the youngs? A 16+ show for a band beloved by kids of all ages? I know of at least one brokenhearted 10 year-old....

I am wrapping up my second month with Ambar (ambar.cloud), and I am grateful to be working with such a talented, driven team. I am very excited about the future of Ambar and what we're building together in the AI-driven enterprise app development space!

2026 frustrations: forgetting to hit "Enter" on a beefy Claude Code prompt before switching to a different project to write another beefy prompt. Gotta keep up the throughput in the code mines.

While I consider myself pretty close to being a Git expert, I still often find the behavior of `git stash` to be...confusing at best, especially as it relates to untracked files. Am I the only one? I'll rebase and reflog all day, but stash sometimes baffles me.

I learned this week that `vite dev` just strips types, and does not do any type checking...how this eluded me for so long, I do not know. Don't like that? (I don't.) vite-plugin-checker fixes it (note: I had to specify `{ buildMode: true }`).

Somewhere along the line, I became the kind of person who rinses the power washer off before putting it away. What the heck.

Pre-teens singing along to Billy Joel’s “Uptown Girl at the top of their lungs on the roller rink: awesome. At least there are quaint, simple pleasures while the world is burning.

In this week's episode of "Things I Somehow Missed": there's now a deep clone function in DOM/Node!?!? Awesome! developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web…

Used Claude's browser plugin to do something with the UI of an app I'm working on, note the HTTP POST that gets generated, and then replay it for a list of like IDs. Claude handled it like a champ...which is a good reminder that all your BE endpoints need to be secure!
