Kind of want to send an invoice for the bug report I just produced for a commercial product.
I just feel like it's a really nice bug report 🙃
whiteboard now saves stuff to/from GraphQL. Love that Elm feeling of "if it compiles it works"
The idea that developers (or designers, or writers) are especially sensitive to interruption is asinine.
Everybody (in software companies at least) has times when they are focused or thinking deeply, and the cost of an interruption is potentially high.
So foster a culture that is respectful of other peoples time. (advice I need to remember myself some days 😬)
Not quite the #Cyberpunk future I envisioned
With news of Unroll.me selling user inbox info to Uber, lots of people are repeating "if you're not paying for it, you're the product."
I've said before, and will continue to say, that that is the wrong formulation. Sometimes you pay for it and you're still the product – look at US ISPs. Sometimes you don't pay for it and you're not the product – free software.
The real question is whether a software or service empowers users, which can't be boiled down to whether you paid.
Today I'm reviving https://stephensugden.com/whiteboard/ a super-minimal project-management tool I wrote to update myself on Elm. I want to make a shared backend today, maybe with graph.cool
installed npmjs.com/package/toot, so I can toot code thoughts without context switching. You have been warned.

It's family :pizza: time
@nolan why is my life suddenly so pleasant
This kind of thinking creeps me out:
"In many ways, a tech founder is like a parent, and a company is like a family. Parents who are able to sit with and express difficult feelings create a safe environment for their children’s emotions and struggles. Parents who try to repress their vulnerability and need for support often encourage the same in their children, usually without realizing it."
Most of the time the furthest thing from my mind is running a Masto instance, but then I remember that I own the domain vim.sucks.
@Gargron Couldn't take a pic in time but just saw a news item on the Berlin subway screens about Mastodon
Looking for a hair colorist in Berlin, anybody know someone they can recommend?
Had a dream that I was woken up by an old and angry punk breaking into my flat to demand payment for a pizza I had already paid for but his faux-philosopher delivery guy had actually stolen the money who also that might have been me too but a fat version?
I need curtains
... if you've used it in a for-comprehension, it's a monad. (There are purist quibbles with this characterization. I'm one of the purists, so I'm well aware of them. Please don't write.)
