I like pie.

*ahem* I've been making websites professionally since 1996, but I never expected that would lead to social media and subsequently the collapse of society. Sorry. I always preferred Gopher anyways. #EternalSeptember

I #code in #perl and #python, have two kids with #autism, like #comics and #scifi, and have strange ideas about sandwiches.

Today in unnecessary AI: iTerm2 version 3.5

The new AITerm feature will allow you to find and possibly automatically run(!) commands. How could *that* go possibly wrong? Plus it takes all the fun out of looking up the proper incantation on Stack Overflow

Work upgraded Jira this weekend and for pity's sake, Atlassian, get some UI/UX experts on your team. Wait... forget experts, just get someone who once watched half a TED talk about UX and whatever they'll produce will be better than this.

Sometimes when I’m having a particularly lousy day, I say “Computer, end program.” You know, just in case.
