How you deal with when life beats you down is as important as how you handle winning. You need to be able to handle both the highs and the lows. Don't worry, I used to suck at both! It is so easy to get carried away when we are up, and it is hard to keep going when…
Optimizing for developer happiness and moving fast is often a worthwhile tradeoff. Optimizing for "doing it right" can truly slow you down. Finding the perfect balance is a superpower. Enough structure to eliminate unnecessary duplication, but not enough to cause rigidity.…
When I was like nine years old. I came out of the forest on my bike right as a car came driving. I instinctively thought, lift your leg to avoid getting stuck on the car. Then I laid myself on the front, rolled over the windshield and landed on my feet behind the car. The…
Share a piece of lore about how you nearly died.
This is so fascinating. A Ruby on rails application deployed to a number of cheap Hetzner VPS could likely cut that spend as low as $40 for similar performance. It is astonishing that people still accept this in 2025. Having to at all worry about spend feels like the stone…
so a few weeks ago, i moved ~20 client side requests to server side (on 1 page) now my vercel bill jumped from $300 a month to $3,550 this month, where 99% of it comes from "serverless function duration" is this? normal?
This is so good, exactly what I wrote the other day. Save your 1RM for the world record attempts! You don't have to train with more than 80% of your max lift to get results. That's safe, you can perform lifts with great form. Now, variation is important, both intensity and…
400kg pull just 9 days out from my 505kg WR. Around 80% of my max. Peak smart, not reckless.
My hero! Makes me miss Australia and its people… In the words of @rickygervais “People that don't like the c word should stop acting like little cunts” 🤣
Help me find the man on the right, I want to interview him:
I have heard that @planescale now handles all your postgreeskwell needs for you!
I messed up; I shouldn't have tried to be funny. Now I can't pronounce it in any other way.... FML

I recently tried shiashit or whatever it is called, and it tastes exactly like ayahuasca. Now it just stands there because I am afraid of having an out-of-body experience.
do people actually enjoy drinking collagen peptides? this tastes like i’m actively robbing a grave.
Don't use a database for your data, it comes with too much overhead!
1 rep max is pretty pointless. What’s your 6-12 rep max with perfect form? While strength can be impressive, fake reps and bad form is not. Can’t find the perfect foam? Great, a chance to work on something different. Foam rollers won’t help your squats and if you need…
Would you accept having someone else’s organ and being on immunosuppressants for the rest of your life to stop your body from killing the foreign organ? I wouldn't! Take care of your temple so you don't have to choose.
I haven’t had more than a handful nightmares in the last 20 years. Will I live a long life?
Weekly nightmares might predict premature death and speed up aging. A study found that weekly nightmares made people 3x more likely to die prematurely (before the age of 75). Here’s what they found and how to prevent premature death by nightmares. 🧵

🇺🇸💰 Ever wonder why European cities accepted so many refugees? Today, I'm over my jet lag and processing the documents I scanned this week. Already it's pretty shocking. The refugee influx into Europe began as a U.S. taxpayer-funded subsidy. The U.S. government literally paid…
