As the first (short) work week of 2025 wraps up, I found myself staring down some BIG personal and professional goals and feeling a little overwhelmed. In trying to calm myself down, I stumbled across an old presentation I gave called “Don’t P.

UnitedHealth CEO was killed 30 days ago on December 4. Luigi is now on trial Lancet reports that USA’s exploitative health system enables 68K preventable deaths ANNUALLY. 5589 Americans have died under this system since December 4. So—when do the CEOs who knowingly enabled these deaths go on trial?

Exactly 5 years ago today, @kaylapekkala.bsky.social and I got Tater Tot. He was so tiny!

I regret to inform you that people have officially started circling back around after the holidays

A dear friend chooses a word for each year -- something like 'joy," "family," "productive," and so on. She uses the word to guide her decision-making for the year. After much consideration and careful thought, I've decided to emulate her example. My word for 2025 is "pasta."

Really wish I could just be magically good at design! 😩 Trying to build out a new website for my new side project and…. UGH! I just don’t know how to make it look good. It’s been so long since I was a webdev I feel like I’ve forgot everything I once knew. 😔

The one thing I'll say I miss about the other site is that y'all definitely go to sleep on this motherfucker and it's really inconvenient when I'm awake.

what the hell is a lemon pig and why is everyone talking about it like this is an entirely normal thing that everyone but me has been doing for years

Some engineering patterns that sound good but almost never work as intended

lemon pig of 2024 before and after absorbing all my bad luck over the calendar year like a fucked up little yellow dorian grey. it is nearly time to rest, my faithful child.

A few weeks ago I impulsively released Performance Review, a novella about a lot of things, but which was inspired in part by the intersection of erotic...

From reliability engineering to wrestling with LLMs, my fourth year at incident.io pushed me harder than I'd expected. We launched On-call, weathered some tough times as a team, and I ended the year diving fully into AI.

Everyone has bad days. Some just hide it better or choose not to share. Hell, I haven't told you the worst things that happened to me in the past few months, but that doesn't mean they didn't occur.

Today, tomorrow, and throughout this week, you'll see many people posting highlights of their 2024 as if it's been the best year ever. Please, remember it's just a highlight reel. Don't let it bring you down. Avoid comparing yourself to their best moments.

Even if you're going through a rough patch, don't give up. And once more, don't compare yourself to others celebrating their best moments. Maybe they are doing that to try and lift themselves up - so cheer with them! - and they are actually feeling worse than you. Don't give up

💻 I’ve written a guide on API Design for Speakeasy which is almost everything I know about designing an API from scratch. Basic theory of everything, pros and cons of various standards, pitfalls to watch out for, and best practices to stick to. Give me feedback and I’ll improve it. What’s missing. What could I add. Not done yet! #ApiDesign https://www.speakeasy.com/api-design
