jmoiron plays the blues

@jmoiron Bad sign when 90% of your engineering wins cannot be described in terms of product improvements. https://t.co/uomqYbMIaT

@jmoiron It's a real anchor on your ecosystem when its central tooling cannot be self-hosted. This has always been a problem w/ CPython. How many Python developers can/will swap to Rust to work on their tooling? How many who put in that time will remain invested in Python? https://t.co...

@jmoiron @bryanl @defunkt It is so loud and dry in the data center. I was restless and constantly bleeding from my nose when I worked in one :(

@jmoiron.bsky.social I understand the direction but.. they must enjoy this, right? They must love to build new apps just to shut them down. techcrunch.com/2023/09/26/g...

@jmoiron @rugby_podcast Winning every contact so far, look very fired up

@jmoiron @rugby_podcast Nawaqanitawase has Cory Jane's fend.

@jmoiron Getting harder and harder to justify association and engagement with this platform. There is a huge network inertia effect, and value in the connections I've made here that I don't want to let go, but supporting this app just makes me feel bad.

@jmoiron @rugby_podcast The real villain is the boys club at RA sacking Rennie in the first place. Fans will try to find a way to be positive, but it was a calamity.

@jmoiron Oh brilliant, I finally found out how to disable this: there is a configuration option under "sidebar" called "Move items with unread Mentions (1) to top of sections" which you can disable.

@jmoiron This slack feature of making channels/DMs with notifications display at the top of their grouping is just awful for me. It always takes me ages to find the conversations again after the notification clears because it doesn't have a consistent location.

@jmoiron I don't follow the JS ecosystem much, can anyone describe why Bun is taking a "we revolutionized JavaScript" victory lap after a 1.0 release? Did this all already happen? What makes a new runtime so transformative?

@jmoiron @rugby_podcast ABs outkicked; uncontestable bombs and dinks to nowhere. French line did look shaky at times, but couldn't risk holding onto the ball as they were bleeding out by 3s. Overall a deserved win, seemingly no serious injuries, both teams have plenty of time to address...

@jmoiron I loved Hayley Westenra's 2011 renditions, esp. the Maori one https://t.co/w1Hi5kP4lO https://t.co/ZsmgqbXB4w

@jmoiron @bryanl I think it's splintered back into dedicated, smaller scoped communities, mostly on slack/discord. A real shame, unfortunately, but I find it hard to blame them.

@jmoiron @jmikola @GromNaN Bonbonbonbons

@jmoiron @rjhintz @JackMurphyRGR Not in my experience.

@jmoiron @rugby_podcast Salvaged narrative from RC was "performance building for RWC", but Eddie clearly didn't buy that himself, so he throws his stalwarts under the bus. If this team works he's genius, if not, Rennie left him nothing and he's prepping for lions/2027.

@jmoiron RT @richardartoul: My next thing with @ryanworl: WarpStream, a Kafka-compatible streaming system built on top of S3 with no stateful disks/…

@jmoiron Very sad to learn of the passing of Bram Moolenaar. Hard to fully appreciate the impact Vim has made on my career, or on the industry at large.

@jmoiron Ah that explains it https://t.co/Xd8IT3nfgm

@jmoiron @jaredwright17 Vince Aso

@jmoiron @glcst @souljacker @ThePrimeagen Pão de Queijo and Bossa Nova :)

@jmoiron You know those then/now pictures where "then" was a vibrant, living downtown street in a modest mid-sized city, and "now" is the the same area, but it's an empty stroad flanked by parking lots? That's how the web feels.

@jmoiron @buckwilson I know :P I wouldn't be a millenial if I was way older. I had a 5 year younger brother so of course I could not do anything he was into :)

@jmoiron @buckwilson @billychasen @rrhoover Glad to be of service :) All of these were on TV when I started in '96. I also mostly switched off from cartoons and onto MTV in ~92/93 in a failed attempt to become cool.
