😮 PERSONAL NEWS 😮
After 10 years at Facebook, I gave notice today. The intellectual challenges were perpetually daunting, both in scope and novelty—an environment in which I thrive, and relish. I’ll forever miss the inimitable pressure.
So, what’s next? RETIREMENT!
We’ve all moved to Threads, right? I just can’t keep posting to and keeping up with all of these Twitter things.

After *15 YEARS* I'm switching from iStat Menus to @imagetasks' iStatistica Pro. It's pretty great, and I much prefer its aesthetic, especially the menu bar stuff. Only downside is that you can't hide the dock icon. Hopefully soon. 🤞🏼

What the fuck is the deal with site logins asking for your email and THEN asking for your password on a NEW page?
TIL that the last name of the creator of the lithium-ion battery is "Goodenough". He also died today.

I hope Trump stays out of prison long enough to combat Pence on the debate stage. Can you imagine? I’m salivating. 🤞🏼

The Vision Pro looks an awful lot like the Quest (Pro). Then again, like rectangular screens, how many different ways can you do it?

I'm loving all the domain-based auth, identity, destination, etc. stuff going on lately. Just another few reasons everyone should own their own domain.

After more than a decade on my homescreen, the Wikipedia app has been displaced by the new (official) ChatGPT app. End of an era.
LOVING @raycastapp's ChatGPT integration. The extensions were great, but the native implementation is fantastic. I'm done with my Python CLI interface, Obsidian's plugins, OpenAI's web dingus, etc. Only downside is that I can't use Raycast on my phone (even if only for ChatGPT).

Not gonna lie, I love throwing some of my code into ChatGPT and having it tell me that it can't be made more efficient. 🤷🏼♂️🤓
