My therapist said I need to find things to keep me busy, so I created the @cdnspace Artemis II dashboard.

I reverse-engineered the Unity Engine powering the NASA AROW visualization and found an absolute treasure trove of data to display.

Little did I expect that it's now being seen by anywhere from 200 to 600 people at any given time with 130,000 people having looked at it in the last 24 hours. People are even building projects around my API.

Yesterday, I received a message on LinkedIn from someone working in Mission Control in Houston... and they're using my dashboard! He even sent me a photo, but I can't share it until after the crew has splashed down.

Mind blown, and an absolute pick-me-up. The best part? It's being served from my basement.

Gotta give it to Claude Code developers: they are exceptionally brave. I would’ve been straight up embarrassed to show stats like this.

Reminder: Claude Code is a thin CLI client that reads input from your terminal, sends it to Antrhopic servers and prints back the response.

It is 222 A.D. You are the transgender Empress Elagabalus, "call me not a man for I am a woman". Transitioning is new and experimental.

It is 1776. You are "Public Universal Friend", a transmasculine nonbinary Quaker. Transitioning is new and experimental.

It is 1906. You are Karl M. Baer, a trans man undergoing sex reassignment. Transitioning is new and experimental.

It is 1930. You are Lili Elbe. Transitioning is new and experimental. (to be fair you did get a uterus transplant.)

It is 1966. You are in Compton's Cafeteria with a bunch of other trans people when the owners call the cops to throw you all out. You riot. Transitioning is new and experimental.

It is 1969. You are Marsha "pay it no mind" Johnson. You are in a mob-run gay bar when the cops attack. You throw a brick. There is a bit of a scuffle. Transitioning is new and experimental.

It is 2026. You are a transgender adult or child listening to the NYT and British Guardian claim this is the first generation anyone has tried transitioning in. Transitioning is new and experimental.

I don't give a shit about cars and still this thread was highly entertaining

there are three kinds of programming tutorials:

• “look man we both know you don’t wanna learn this shit so just install 30 GB of random frameworks and here’s the code to copy-paste if you wanna make a basic game and feel like you accomplished something. I’m not gonna explain how any of this works because nobody cares as long as your little guy jumps when you press spacebar”
• “an endofunctor is a type of monoid which is a subcategory of monad that is variadic over the set of all impure lambdas - therefore all possible expressions in this language can be modeled after- wait where are you going?”
• “this is called a variable! a variable is a little friend that can hold onto something called a value! variables love grabbing values and they can even carry them into functions! say hi, variable!”
