  1. Well yeah. Santa is importing stuff. Need to levy some tariffs.
  2. Our annual tenderloin from central market
  3. That’s probably true. But their incompetence becomes my problem.

    RIP, Mani

    I have always dug Driving South. Listening to it now. This is the One is another great track from from debut
  5. claude helped me write two oracle stored procedures that repairs data our packaged fulfillment application fubars. Got them tested and deployed to production in a few hours. claude wrote a complex query for me this morning that looks at orders that our fubared fulfillment system doesn’t send the shipment message to our OMS so that stores and customers can get their shipment information and we can recognize revenue. I asked our DBA two weeks ago for help configuring oracle in AWS to enable email notifications based on an oracle trigger. No response. I’m gonna ask claude about it tomorrow and send the DBA instructions on how to do it. I’ve done a couple weeks worth of work in about a day.
  6. A couple songs on Stephen Wilson Jr’s cover album “Blankets” and one from son of dad album
  7. When I evaluate candidates for a position, I begin by listing a clear definition of the must have skills, preferred skills, and nice to have skills. These go in the job listing. I put a weight of 1-10 for each of these skills: 10 being the most important and 1 being the least important. I evaluate each resume against these skills and give them a rating from 1-5. 5 being the best. My spreadsheet then gives a point rating of sum(skill weight * candidate rating). Highest scores are candidates for an interview. I told HR that I’d prefer not to have names on the resumes to eliminate any subconscious bias. My team is technical so I get some candidates with bachelor degrees in india so it’s impossible to rate all candidates blindly. I assumed everyone had a similar approach.
  8. I put a pic of the characters in google translate hoping for more awesomeness. I am disappoint. Results: gibberish
  9. Transcript of the latest signal chat. OPSEC is clean.
  10. You could do one of those custom russian nesting doll things. 2025 theme trump > maxwell > epstein 2026 theme - oligarchs trump > elon > karp > bezos > zuck 2027 theme - tyranny trump > putin > xi Make it an annual tradition. The anticipation of the yearly theme will be palpable.
  11. Once again, I’m the outlier. I’m working through a complex parcel shipping server and fulfillment system messaging issue, and the infrastructure team recommended a load balancer to throttle the traffic to the currently overwhelmed parcel system complete with SYN, ACK, PSH, FIN messages. I described what the infra team recommended for a Monday action plan meeting and asked claude to make some images. 10 minutes of prompts resulted in pretty good images to facilitate the proposed multi-phase solution discussion with non-technical leadership. Sorry snagit. Haters gonna hate.
  12. The last verse of this always hits me hard. I remember the lead up in 2003 to the iraq war and being very skeptical of W, cheney and colin powell. I’ve seen the white buffalo three times live. There is absolute silence in the crowd during this song.
