@3psboyd @dave_cochran truly a cultural moment for bsky shitposters, who are credited with suggesting the acquisition

@RuthMalan holy shit. What a treasure, thank you!

That is, conversations include accidental and intentional informal conversations, as well as intentional (deliberate) deliberations that really work on an issue — over time (as we understand more, as things change, etc.) too.

The architect role, by whatever name, gives some organizational commitment to sustaining that system expertise, attention and relationship space — in part to provide anticipatory awareness and continuity of attention to system capabilities, properties, and challenges.

Complexity is rarely eliminated, only shuffled from desk to desk to make room for other work.

@markllobrera @beep @Wilto i like to think of myself as the Cockney rhyming slang of NPM project named

@dachary So! I’ve been doing a buuunch of classification and categorization tests with LLMs lately and that’s really one of the best matches IME!

Would love to compare notes!

@SwiftOnSecurity Remembering the latter bit saved me from more than a few quixotic “reinvent the world” autodidact adhd adventures…

@SwiftOnSecurity it’s an absolutely insufferably “podcast guy” kind of narrative but Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance is so closely related to these themes for me; curious if you’ve read it.

It touches on both the pursuit of “quality” as an inherent elegant match between the tool and the task, and the poisonous “freshman’s disease” of learning enough to be frustrated and stalking off to change the world without studying the insights of those who’ve gone before.

Beauty is the grain of the wood.

@GhostOnTheHalfShell A strong case can be made that the entire appeal of the postwar neoliberal consensus was that moral arguments were unneeded. Everyone would pretend everyone supported the same goal, everyone would agree to use slightly different ratios of the same tools, and everyone could just get to prosperin’.

The refusal to acknowledge the end of that tenuous agreement — and the insistence on pretending violations of it will be punished by the electorate — characterizes the modern DNC.

A final data visualization sneak peek from the webinar Karen and I have been putting together. For each of the classification approaches (and each of the models used) we're generating to/from sankey diagrams to quickly gut-check the way documents are being recategorized.

Fun stuff.

@zachleat I'm down with that time slot if you are. Looking forward to it! Hopefully there'll be a bit of time to trash-talk Gutenberg components along the way.

@zachleat I’m jeff@autogram.is, fwiw!

@zachleat LMK if you’d like to jump onto Zoom or something else. Would love to see a nice inflection point for “easy eleventy” onboarding!

@zachleat absolutely. i’m heading to. Conf on thursday, but sometime before then or starting next week would work well!

@zachleat @scottjenson @Meyerweb @brad_frost LMK if you’re interested in comparing notes, I’ve been neck deep in a WP project and my own 11ty site simultaneously, so I’ve got… some thoughts :D

@mhoye what the hell? “You can bet that…” can I? CAN I?
