Reflecting on the AWS Dynamo DB outage a few days ago, in light of Adrian Cockcroft's excellent writeup and call out of cyclical dependencies. Give it a read if you're similarly interested.

OH: it's kind of like the beef between Kendrick and Drake if both of them were Drake.

I've never liked the Dodgers more than I do today. Good on you Dodgers.
Go from vibe coding to a Conversational SDLC that is a negotiation with receipts. Here's a starting point for adapting existing practices and embracing the new tooling reality.

Best use of AI to date, preventing me from using too many words.
Heading: Tariffs could push up costs for car industry. The graphic shows a map, with 5 steps in the manufacture of a piston. 1. Powdered aluminium sent from Tennessee 2. Turned into rods in Pennsylvania 3. Shipped to Canada, Canadian tariff paid at border, rods shaped and polished in Canada 4. Rods sent to Mexico for assembly into pistons. Direct transfers from Canada to Mexico do not incur tariffs. 5. Shipped to Michigan. US tariff paid at border. Pistons become part of engine in Michigan.
This BBC graphic is a good way to show why reciprocal 25% tariffs will cause prices on some goods to go up far more than 25%.
A piston used in a car engine made in Michigan will cross the U.S. border twice, and will be taxed 25% each time.
Some products cross the U.S. border even more than that.
Pass it on.

Healthcare should be a fundamental human right, and not governed by profit motive.
Being in a similar position, all I can say is... there are no good choices. All of them suck. And it's incredibly limiting because you know people who give their all and deserve so much better. The American Healthcare system is foundationally flawed, and neither side can or will fix it.
LA has the nicest elevator culture of any city I've ever seen.
Funny, just saw the "I meant washer" part of this and thought to myself, "What is a gasket? Alex" (in my best jeopardy contestant voice)
To all my amazing friends, thank you for your patience and understanding as I ask a thousand dumb questions.

Had this conversation with my nephew last night. Sit with your disappointment for a bit. Understand it before reacting. Often the frustration is with unrealistic expectations, of ourselves, of others.
Interested in a fun way to burn RAM and CPU?
Install a 34B parameter model on your laptop and ask it what directory it's in. 👀⌚🤣
