2am music is the best for coding

Parenting small kids during Covid + smoke from wildfires is very much a "whatever gets you through the day" kind of deal.

When the masses pick up a new layer of skills, everything above that on the stack gets unstable. In our household, we've done so many things we never did before, that are now permanent skills. And our instrumentation has evolved to match. Like, we own a pulse oximeter now.

I made a Siri shortcut that lets you say "Siri, what's overhead", and she tells you what the nearest (uncensored) aircraft is, wherever you are, and who it's registered to. A friend says it's like having a superpower. https://twitter.com/lemonodor/status/1238149529469202433

Can't believe I've been using terraform this long without really going deep on modules. Maybe they're better now than in 0.11 and before? Otherwise I'm just a dumb-dumb.

What are the most important and consequential information asymmetries in the modern era? Which person or group has the knowledge, what do they know, and what advantage does it give?

I think we’ve all done a good job not overusing “2020 hindsight”. That could have gotten ugly.

Saturday morning musings on the role of information asymmetries in maintaining civilizational power inequities, and how breaching those imbalances leads to a fundamental redistribution of wealth and power.

This is what I keep seeing.

The chasm between the daily chaff of consumer culture and the rapidly unfolding-in-plain-sight authoritarian power grab that may spell the end of America as we knew it is too much for me.

Kids always trying to rate their owie a P0. Little girl that is a P3 and it can go in the backlog with everything else.

Feels like @awscloud@twitter.com‘s serverless tooling could use like 10x the budget it’s getting. So much awesomeness left unrealized.

It shouldn't have taken me an hour to figure out how to reference a cloudwatch log stream.

Is there one frickin page with the arn formats for every AWS resource type?
