Engineering @ Stripe. Ex-Heroku. I talk about bad design. And a few words on APIs, Postgres, software safety and resilience, efficient interfaces, and running.

    I don't always compliment Go, but we just looked into enabling HTTP/2 across our seven supported languages. In Go you get it automatically for both clients and servers using just `net/http`. Excellent end user experience — 10x better than anything else and 100x better than most.

    The newest episode of Hardcore History is on Japanese history and culture, and starts with the story of Hiroo Onoda, who held out alone in the Philippines and continued to fight WWII until 1974. As per Dan Carlin's usual, it's excellent work.

    While the reminder of what we're doing to our environment was sobering, it was still just absolutely beautiful out there. Magical waterfalls and sheer granite faces everywhere.

    The sun setting over Yosemite Valley. (Seen through the smoke kicked up by yet another wildfire raging through California.)

    There's nothing quite as nefarious as a technical decision made via Slack: stakeholders miss it if they're not around, points are poorly stated as they're strung across 50 half-baked thoughts, context exists across pages of jumbled noise, *and* it's time consuming. I miss email.

    One of my favourite natural effects in San Francisco: morning sunlight filtering through the mist and eucalyptus of Mount Sutro.

    I finally got around to reading “Vipassana for Hackers”. Other books on the subject tend to contain (1) too much mysticism, and (2) too many words (more is said than necessary to reach book length). This short book is neither; it's practical and concise.

    Nearly abandoned a project this morning after rediscovering the nightmarish quality of Twitter's API. Four different mechanisms for authentication, none general. OAuth 2 supported, but only for appearance's sake — OAuth 1 still needed to say, post a tweet. Kafka would be proud.

    A photography project for portraits of taxi drivers in Tokyo — there's already something magical about neon lights, and the bokeh and color in their reflection off glass makes them even more so.

    iFixit's rigor in long term thinking is a refreshing counterpoint to modern Apple's "form over function" ethos. “This is design anorexia: making a product slimmer and slimmer at the cost of usefulness, functionality, serviceability, and the environment.”

    The best Bash advice. (Bash (or sh, zsh, etc.) is objective garbage as a programming language, but it’s garbage that’s ubiquitous, and that’s valuable. Just don’t let a Bash program grow beyond trivial size or you’ll pay for that low bar to entry later — in blood and tears.)

    Excellent piece on Nintendo's Shigeru Miyamoto, creator of Mario, Zelda, and Donkey Kong (among others). Miyamoto attributes his creativity to being surrounded with nature when he was young. The story begins and ends with stumbling on a cave.

    Interesting thread on whether people are deploying anything important on serverless. Reading between the lines, I suspect that if there were a lot of large serverless deployments out there, we'd be seeing many more data points, and more notable ones too.

    I finished my third Haruki Murakami book ("A Wild Sheep Chase") of the last couple years, and his brand of weird surrealism continues to delight. I'm still thinking about "The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle" months after finishing it — surely the sign of a great book.

    Submissions for National Geographic's Travel Photographer of the Year contest is a never-ending carousel of the most incredible photography you'll ever see — on everything from the most pristine nature to the densest urban environments. Here's 2018.

    I tried to tell a story last night about camping out near a decommissioned nuclear reactor over the weekend, but no one at the table was event remotely impressed – apparently half of America grew up within spitting distance of one. Still, I thought it was cool.

    Even while REST is perfectly adequate as a modest baseline, I put together a few words on why I think GraphQL has the promise to lead to a generation of APIs that are more powerful, more discoverable, and most importantly, more adaptable.

    This might be different if AirBnB was actually more like home sharing, but you see time and time again the rise of "professional" AirBnBs that are rented out (almost) the entirety of the year, and are more common in attractive cities, ~all of which face a constant housing crunch.

    Unpopular opinion: considerable restrictions on AirBnB are probably the right thing. The service is ultimately good for travelers (including me, many times), but *mostly* bad for locals, with the major exception being a wealthy rent-collecting class.
