A common interpersonal mistake people make professionally: thinking of people as they were when you first met them. People change and grow, sometimes a lot. Not updating your mental model of people is just as bad as not updating on any other fact about the world.

I refuse to believe *any* engineer who has to work with date and time even tangentially would support keeping daylight savings time

For a fascinating discussion of jazz, fractal music, and power-laws in action, don't miss @HarlanBrothers' data-focused article on John Coltrane's "Giant Steps" solo. buff.ly/3BHmtLe

I updated the Google document that lists all the Great Jazz Albums featured on this account since the start. 425 albums, and they are all great. Enjoy. docs.google.com/spreadsheets…

One thing I've learned working in tech is that every shit product experience you've had is a result of someone in a meeting nodding their head instead of saying, "Buddy, I'm gonna keep it real. I got no idea what the fuck you're talking about"

The guy who just won the Fields Medal – like a Nobel Prize for mathematics – has a work ethic we should all emulate. Three house of focused work per day based on following his desires at that moment. quantamagazine.org/june-huh-…

Last night at @recursecenter @jamieabrew sang karaoke with a bot that replaces lyrics with what fits from a corpus! This is “I want it that way” by the Backstreet Boys but programming interview questions

I mis-clicked on one of my 150 open tabs and it happened to be a tab that's been open since 2019 with a paper that has a solution to the exact research problem I've been puzzling over today. This is the moment I've been waiting for and I've decided to never close any tabs again
