Cleavage is legit magical and my favorite passage on it was by @vietthanhnguyen.bsky.social in "The Sympathizer"

this was fun These aren't my all-time faves, just a large aread under the curve of "left an impression on me" vs "I think many people haven't heard of or tried" some of these are pretty popular in indie circles, some less so. lmao @ Marvel Midnight Suns having fewer reviews than, like, Dredge

he's a perfectly sweet guy who's also got this happening

my bestie spent ~10 years of his career at Google and had a way better time and he said the default Google engineer is a quokka (complimentary). just happy to talk and think through the things that excite them, like cache invalidation policies

rotting and on the brink of death, shitting his pants in meetings, he's now taking his act global

And I was at the World Fair in Osaka last year, and the Guatemala pavilion had a little display with the coffee regions. Wait a minute…

I hope to God all the replies just spam this at him

I studied a bit of Econ and it was fun, but during my lifetime in practice it's just been this shit over and over again

Think of how many fewer data centers we'd have to build if we could just teach programmers to use a snippet library instead of "write test cases for this function" via LLM it's faster, too!
