If you ask Google's Gemini 2.5 Flash for 1,000 random numbers, 70% of them will end in 3. Weird. #ai

Google Pixel phone preferred care via Assurion and Assurant are SO TERRIBLE IT MAKES ME WANT TO PULL MY HAIR OUT. They've asked me for numbers that don't exist, told me that my claim was approved, and that it's under review., and that they need more details. It's NONSENSE.

Developer Productivity with Stephen Fluin youtu.be/lxbE6V5bOIk?si… via YouTube

I totally misunderstood this page the first time, thinking it some generic "build with ai" nonsense. It's actually the Angular team's personally tested recommendations and prompts to give you better more modern Angular code generation from LLMs. Wow! angular.dev/ai/develop-wit…

Has anyone else gotten really really good at memorizing 6 digit numbers for about 15 seconds over the past decade?

The burden on maintainers is definitely increasing. "This Is Why Nobody Submits PRs to Open Source Anymore" archive.fo/6ISqh or medium.com/@ThreadSafeDia… I see: 1. Too much AI spam 2. Support needs only increase -> leading to burnout 3. Passion vs Corp OSS

I'm gong to the MN Renaissance Festival to see Penn and Teller tomorrow! I'm super excited, but I'm also expecting Fyre Festival levels of chaos and disorganization. They aren't ready for this. Wish me luck!

I had no idea that the npm package registry has legacy case sensitive packages. EEEP! npmjs.com/package/JSONSe… != npmjs.com/package/jsonse… Website is super flaky about it too, sometimes giving you one, sometimes the other.

And currently listening to a fantastic person in the Angular community - the one and only Stephen Fluin chatting about using the right Angular tools at the right time.
