@caseyliss Did you ever write or talk about going to Disney World with multiple kids? I found a podcast episode from 2020, might be outdated as pre-pandemic (also maybe before your second kid?)

Preparing a weekend there and I'd trust your recommendations!

"Let's not worry about reinforcing our government's level of security, just assume that another layer of defense will catch foreign actors that go through. You can trust me or my name isn't JAMES T.REASON."

"Cline had deployed an AI-powered issue triage workflow using Anthropic's claude-code-action. The workflow was configured with allowed_non_write_users: "*", meaning any GitHub user could trigger it by opening an issue."

My years-long quest for a good coffee shop with reliable wifi that's open at 9am remains ongoing.

Mind you, I live in the very center of a busy city, with easily 20 places within a 5 minute walk, but alas:

- good coffee
- reliable wifi
- open at 9am

My happy place, before it all went downhill

It's wild to me that in 2026, flight crews still spend an inordinate amount of time reminding people they can't smoke aboard the plane, and that train conductors have to constantly remind people not to open the doors if the train is stopped on the tracks.

Like, there's always going to be a Main Character who will smoke on the plane or open the train doors. No amount of announcements is going to reach them, but it wears everyone else down.

Is Apple the only developer on its own App Store allowed to cancel trial periods immediately instead of letting it expire? Like an exclusive entitlement that gives them a clear advantage over their competitors. (As a result, I'm setting a reminder to cancel rather rather than canceling right away, with the risk of missing the deadline)
