I've never tried generated columns, but it is something that I'm interested in. It is nice to have things computed and in the database if you ever need to query on them. My brain is now churning with possibilities and quesions, does this work with Alembic? How does this compare to views?

3d-printing is so freaking cool. I love the idea that someone could get a hyperspecific tool to their needs for super cheap. Whether it works permanently or to try out one that you want to spend thousands of dollars on to have well done from some high end materials this is a great application.

Sub to this man. I met Jesse long ago as we both spoke at the same remote vim conf. He is into vim, weird keyboards, and medroid what more could you ask for. Now react and exlixer. I only know https://statamic.com/ through Jesse, they have the sickest branding ever. Now I will need to see what this savvycal is about.

sudo rm /var/lib/pacman/db.lck

When you fill all of your time with a bunch of other things, it becomes really hard to become a friendly person. Prime talked about trying to learn how to drop the hurry in his life, and how to not always be in a frenzy of going from one thing to the next. It's something that puts us in a state that its hard to remember to be friendly. Hard to remember that theres always time for coffee.
I do my best to always leave time for coffee, whether at home with my wife and kids, as well as at work. I am in a very unique place at work where I have a rare set of skills for the industry I am in. This comes with a lot of people insterested in how to do things like running data pipelines or managing server infrastructure. I always take time for these conversations, I find them interesting, and useful. Sometimes you end up with someone who asks the same questions every 6 months, other times, you have someone flourish from these conversations. I'm not saying to take on work from every other team in the org, but giving 30 minutes to help mentor others can go a long ways.
I'm still not the best, I still get wrapped up in my own stuff just like prime calls out. I sometimes get frustrated with others around me when things come up that prevent me from doing my work, or just getting the things out of my head that I had momentum on while the lightning was hot.

Dang Waylon! Love these few lines... uv is great, been using it for environment and project requirements management but I didn't realize it was this easy to setup a pep 723 compliant script!
Love this sed -i '1i #!/usr/bin/env -S uv run --script' little gem too - I typically do uv run script.py so I'll see about making this a simple zsh alias for faster iteration on python scripts... I often have AI write quick bash scripts to accomplish things, but it's quite a bit harder for me to read than python, and with the power uv is bringing to the python ecosystem, maybe it's fine to just be a little higher in the programming stack for script-kitty stuff

I have become a huge DHH fan, maybe that means I'm just a basic bish but as I've become aware of who he has I haven't yet disagreed with much that he has to say... And fortunately or unfortuntaely that remanins true with this post about getting involved "at the edge".
I feel like I bounce between "give me bleeding edge" and "give me unshakable stability" on the daily, and there's probably a time and place for both... I think I am prone to take on initial viewpoints and so I don't want to abandon my desire for stability, but man... maybe running Arch wouldn't be that bad, maybe a release-candidate container for an app at home here or there would be an interesting way to give back even a fraction to the FOSS community.
I try to open issues on GH and such when things happen, but I could take a more proactive approach especially with the software that I use more regularly...
Thanks DHH for posting these thoughts, keep em coming!

This is a really great animation of latency across different aws regions based on us-east-1.

Only 1 hour into the release of silksong, and it's taken down all of the eshops, and steamdb dows 100K concurrent players. The Humble store ran out of steam keys for silksong already.
You guys better not break this thing before I get off work and My son gets home cause we are playing this tonight!!
I just Check steamDB, and they have 441K concurrent players right now. An Indie game! This shows when you treat your fans right and make something incredible they stand behind you.

Everything is becoming political these days! I hate it. I regularly hear a friend say these podcasts need to set the politics to the side, but you know what its fukin hard when the gov is upending every corner of life and rebranding it with their own new twist. The billionaire class is winning and it looks like there ain't a thing we can do about it. Here's another example of someone taking head of an office they have no business being in. An entire set of working class folks let go for this guy to take over. And what does he want to do, make govt services as satisfying as apple. Apple is cutting edge, it is not something that is one bit sustainable. Their launch sites are generally super heavy, hard to scroll, slow, over animated, but damn they are satisfying the first time you scroll through them, after that just let me through.
