I'm about as good at math as I am convincing my wife I'm god's gift to women.

It's okay to have extreme beliefs right up to the point of action. Extremists IME are impossible to negotiate with past a certain point. Once they're convinced their idea(s) are ri…

All of my boxes are cheap VPS. Highly recommend people throw Cloudflare in front of their stuff. I switched all of my load balancers over to there and all of that bot crap went awa…

I'm the author. If you do go fast and don't deprive your customers of your product but the product breaks and doesn't deliver its intended value, is that a better tradeoff? Re: AI …
