    I've been struggling with a.k.a. The Wizard book for about 20 years. Yesterday I had the pleasure of finishing a very intensive, mind-blowing workshop with covering the best parts of the book, with special focus on evaluation models and language building. Awesome!

    This interview from YC Startup School w/ Werner Vogels, CTO of Amazon, is quite a fun one. It starts at the beginning: Werner's pre-Amazon career, his arrival at Amazon (in 2004!), etc. Then, organization of engineering teams & rise of AWS inside Amazon.

    The more I see communities moving to real-time platforms like Discord and Slack, the more I miss classic forum experiences. Long-lived threads with bumping, a long tail of search ranking for niche topics, locking/combining threads, etc. Real-time communities breed FOMO.

    Though I don't love filing expense reports (who does?), when I go item-by-item through my team's SaaS spend, I like to remind myself for each: "Here, again, is a case where rather than my team wasting countless hours building in-house, we simply licensed the best on the market."

    Fast & frictionless monetary support from users via mobile apps of a popular open source encrypted messaging app. Worth studying. Done via Apple Pay in iOS & Google Pay in Android. Couple taps for recurring or one-time gift. Simple user benefit of profile badge that spreads word.

    I just became a Signal Sustainer - very cool idea. I hope more non-profit and OS mobile apps do something like this. Apple Pay made it super fast. via

    “Compilers always understand EXACTLY what you say, though it’s not necessarily what you meant to say. Speaking to other programmers is the more difficult part.” A very experienced insight. Most programming is really programming for other humans, the computer is the easy part. 😄

    I haven't used this personally but it combines three of my favorite things: the browser wiki software that first got me excited about knowledge management (), a massively ubiquitous open source project (), and projects that hacks on and writes about.

    This is thrilling! A SQLite backend for TiddlyWiki implemented as a plugin for ’s Datasette, a hugely flexible multi-tool for exploring and publishing relational data. Interesting opportunities to use TW as a front end for SQL-based data and vice versa

    This checks out with my personal experience at least. I work pretty fucken hard on the Zig project but I allow myself to chase my motivations day to day, switching tasks when I get bored. I'm pretty good at figuring out how to make incremental progress, so it works fine.

    A thread about burnout. I observed a hell of a lot of burnout in grad school, including a colleague who would get into a cycle of being in the lab until 4am playing flash game boy tetris, then fail the experiment, forcing him to stay in the lab till 7 am, then get yelled at...
