I ride bikes, serve on the board of Mission Bit, and occasionally write code. If you've used json in Python it's probably my fault.

Let Gavin know that ceding ground to that odious fascist troll Charlie Kirk isn't going to get the VCs to stop funding recall campaigns and it certainly isn't going to win him the presidency.

I've long said Gavin Newsom wouldn't be my first pick in any primary. Now I'm not sure he'd even get my vote in a general election. No one who throws a vulnerable minority under the bus deserves our support. https://www.politico.com/news/2025/03/06/gavin-newsom-breaks-with-democrats-on-trans-athletes-in-sports-00215436 #USPol #CAPol #TransRights

@glyph where can I donate to get all of the other candidates to stop texting me?

Okay, time to properly launch this: SUPER SWING DISTRICTS! https://superswingdistricts.org

This is a slate of Democratic candidates calculated for maximum impact for your donation dollars.

National campaigns receive a ton of money, but can't always deploy it locally in the places that the Electoral College, gerrymandering, and … shenanigans mean it needs to be spent. But figuring out which local campaigns *can* use it is a lot of work. This site is the output of that work.

It took five years to write, but here's the full story behind Lambda School, Silicon Valley's disastrous foray into for-profit education.

I explain how they burned through $120 million in funding, why Income Share Agreements failed, the crimes committed along the way, and how one developer turned journalist put an end to the fraud.

Two days after his company's downfall, Austen Allred wrote: I wish people could see how ugly it is to be envious, and how obvious it is to those around you when that's what's happening. There's not much uglier than trying to tear someone down because they achieved what you wish

Today I found my first (very modest) contribution to CPython, it was on June 2006 and consisted of a note to be added to a README.

GitHub says I've been involved in 599 #CPython issues, mostly as a bug triager many moons ago. Had lots of fun, called it "the Tracker Archeology effort". I'm so thankful for how it was received then.

A lot of great people have invested a lot of time and energy into triaging and the development process since. Things are different and so much better today.

@worik @martin I also like to post outdated information instead of spending literally one second to load a website that has a very prominent "Create a new account" button
