Ok, I’ve figured out a conference talk to give. Now I just need 43 minutes of stuff to say between the two jokes I came up with.

Thinking about how Amazon used to just be a bookstore, for no reason in particular.
After listening to my elementary school aged children talk for approximately 3 minutes, I’m thinking that putting VC money into a urinalysis device called iCup is going to be a sure fire windfall.
In honor of Deep Dish Swift and the first year I'm participating with an app of my own, I've made it easy for you to follow your pizza in LightWatch. There's now a lightly curated pizza themed feed to get you started.
TIL If you take a screenshot in mobile safari, it gives you the option to screenshot the *entire* page. That's neat.
Statistically, I spend more time in CI fixing failures due to upstream changes than mistakes in my code.

The most effective security training I’ve ever seen was a GitHub security engineer who quietly traveled between unlocked, unattended laptops at a company all-hands, posting the phrase “poopin” to the owner’s Twitter account. A whole company educated forever in 48 hours.
Mythos sounds scary but imagine a sanctioned, corporate white hat phishing agent with a similarly benign payload. Everyone would stay on their does, *knowing* it was coming for them.
@rizzi@gloria.social Any chance you're willing to share how you did the YouTube support in the latest Reeder? I'd like to add YouTube support to my app but am struggling to figure out a reliable solution.
@ObsidianUrbex@mstdn.social I just discovered your account and your work is awesome. Any chance you'd consider updating the RSS feed on your website with the same stuff you post here?
I'm building an app for following visual-focused RSS feeds (https://getlightwatch.app/) and while Mastodon RSS works fine, your dedicated RSS would be more ideal. However, it hasn't been updated in a couple of years and seems to only include one image per post, vs the multiple you share here.
