USDA data confirms what farmers already know: Trump’s policies are killing family farms. In Ohio, we lost 400 farms last year. Yet Trump still wants massive tariffs - unacceptable.

If #AI becomes a huge part of software development in the near future, I wonder if it will lead to one of two possible outcomes (or somewhere in between)

Option 1: Coalescence
For a given kind of app, the LLM chooses whatever tools/stack it has the most info on or preference toward

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

Trump and Stephen Miller are looking for any excuse to use the insurrection act, declare martial law, and crown Trump the puppet king.

Peaceful protest enrages them, and they will only get more reckless and bloodier as their power starts to wane.

We must continue to stand together. We WILL win

Minnesota, you are making the midwest proud.

Being there for your neighbors is an ingrained culture in the northern flyover states. It just what we do. Always.

Sometimes that’s showing up with a casserole. Sometimes it’s standing up to a fascist occupying force.

Midwest Nice. But Not for ICE.

if people no longer read the code, API is no longer targeting humans, is there still a need for "good API design"? is it still worth the effort to figure out what would be the best for users, instead of the best of ai to understand/use? I don't know.

Just learned a bunch about MCP servers and how to use them locally both for dev tasks and internal company functionality on today's devBetter.com coaching call. There's some cool stuff in the Docker MCP toolkit and it's pretty easy to spin up your own MCP server with the #dotnet new templates.

It may seem impossible to have hope in these turbulent days

But America has been through much worse, and recovered-every time

The Civil War
The Great Depression
World Wars I and II
The Civil Rights era

So don’t give up
Stay engaged
Support one another

We will get through this

And we will win
