@coates @preinheimer FORGET ABOUT THE TRUCKS! THIS IS BIGGER THAN THE TRUCKS! Jan 29, 2022
@ramsey @coates @Ocramius @grhmc @wimgtr I don't know what the practical implications of web3 are (maybe no one does yet?) but I do expect a lot of VCs to lose their money before we figure out out. Dec 4, 2021
@ramsey @grhmc @Ocramius @wimgtr @coates I'm not saying Google has done no wrong, I just think it makes perfect sense why lots of sites work best in Chrome if you set aside idealism. I think it's awful for the web, and a lot of it is a catastrophe, but that's why I work with people who respect idealism and Good Work. Dec 4, 2021
@ramsey @grhmc @Ocramius @wimgtr @coates They have done and continue to do a lot that is terrible for the web, but from a frontend perspective, Chrome is arguably a dream. It is cutting edge in terms of new features and it controls a huge majority on desktop and half of all mobile. Dec 4, 2021
@ramsey @grhmc @Ocramius @wimgtr @coates They built projects like Dart, Angular and Web Components to give frontend devs tools they wanted (for better or worse). And their APIs and services were huge during Web 2.0 and continue to be extremely valuable, especially Google Fonts. Dec 4, 2021
@ramsey @grhmc @Ocramius @wimgtr @coates I think a big factor is that Chrome has been courting frontend developers aggressively for over a decade. They advanced built in browser dev tools in a major way. ... Dec 4, 2021
@preinheimer @coates @grhmc Caroline uses that too. Seconded the recommendation. Feb 9, 2021

@grmpyprogrammer @coates I can tell you this: the worst option is to keep a broken, out of warranty Aeron in your basement for years, telling yourself you are going to fix it some day. Jun 25, 2020
@preinheimer @coates It seems you've learned your lesson, but just in case, I will not be checking out your SoundCloud. Jan 28, 2020
@ramsey @coates @jperras @preinheimer Lifelong Pompous Tortoise Jan 28, 2020
@ramsey @jperras @coates @preinheimer Let's party tonight. Jan 28, 2020
@ramsey @facultyco @shiflett @chrismerritt @coates @realdougwilson @xdesro @sldistin Thank you for being a friend! Dec 31, 2019
@coates @OurPactApp I had the exact same problem when I used it! We ended up giving up. Deeply frustrating. May 29, 2019
@ramsey @a @coates Thanks for the invite man. Rude Oct 9, 2018
@coates @grhmc @railto @ramsey @AmbassadorAwsum @jperras I don't think people should stop trying to do better than XML, but I do think they need to try a lot harder than YAML. Oct 7, 2018

@coates @awscloud I am also very annoyed with @awscloud over this. Maybe Google or Microsoft have services that actually work? May 2, 2018
@coates I hope he has a good attorney already, but I fear probably not good enough. Hopefully some organization will help him find representation with the knowledge and skill to fight this bullshit charge. Apr 18, 2018
I am deeply proud to be a part of @facultyco, and to be working with @coates and @shiflett again. Sean has the perfect words to explain why. twitter.com/coates/status/… Jan 22, 2018
@coates I've never been less excited about such an awesome blog post. Jan 20, 2017
@coates I would love to see those language popularity lists with a filter for projects 5+ years old and some metric for breadth of use. Jan 19, 2017
@howells @coates @shiflett He took me there on my last visit. Can definitely confirm that it is very, very good. Oct 5, 2016
@coates WordPress: Too bad it's not a newspaper Jun 21, 2016
@shiflett Lucky! I have to extract that tutorial one question at a time. /cc @coates Mar 28, 2016

@preinheimer Get it back? Cute. youtube.com/watch?v=3kEpZW… /cc @mivok @coates Dec 31, 2015
@mivok @coates @preinheimer The frightening thing is that it seems within, or at least not far beyond the realm of possibility. Dec 31, 2015
@mivok @coates @preinheimer Was trying to think of the best way to describe that. Dec 31, 2015
@preinheimer @coates The best source I can find for that is a blog post by a guy named JP Koning that is written from a future perspective. Dec 31, 2015
@coates @robtreat2 Super Metroid is also a favorite of mine. An amazing spiritual successor is Shadow Complex on the Xbox 360. Dec 17, 2015
@coates Depends on the measure of course, but in terms of pure joy, I think you may be right. Games are mostly joyless now. Dec 17, 2015
@coates Apple store Black Friday exclusive: half off on smugness when you decide not to buy a Thunderbolt Display with your Mac Mini. Nov 27, 2015
@coates @1Password @susanjrobertson @robweychert There are cloud-syncing MFA apps like Authenticator. They make me nervous though. Nov 25, 2015
@coates @jperras Certainly. A caprese salad can be very different from tomato, basil, mozzarella, olive oil and salt, consumed separately. Nov 19, 2015
@coates @jperras For example, making you crave fattier or sweeter foods? That seems reasonable to me, but people deny cravings all the time. Nov 19, 2015
@coates Let's do a Salt podcast called Pillar Talk. Nov 7, 2015
@coates Oh, gotcha. That can be pretty terrible when "Deluxe" just means that they threw in all of the badly recorded demo versions. Nov 5, 2015
@coates You just hate the extra songs? Nov 5, 2015
@coates I liked you so much more before this tweet. Oct 18, 2015
@phishy Gallery sounds like calorie. Dumb joke. Awaiting the inevitable 1 or 2 of 10 point score from @coates. Oct 15, 2015
@coates @robtreat2 I do it for desktop OSes, but not mobile unless I'm switching to or from a pre-release build. Sep 30, 2015

@coates @CalEvans @ircmaxell But they so often play doctors on TV! Jul 2, 2015
@coates Photos has a paid option as well, for full-quality (vs high-quality). I doubt it pays for the entire service though. May 29, 2015
@coates I feel like I forget about half of the things I've done to help myself in the future. May 12, 2015
@coates Definitely. Kind of surprising that they don't. Easy to forget that for users, configuring your product isn't a business activity. Apr 29, 2015
@coates The Django configuration part? That was one aspect of Django that always grated on me. Apr 29, 2015

@coates Arrived a bit ago. Apr 10, 2015
@coates Is it naive to accept that the reason it isn't offered is because the appropriate people have agreed that we don't really need it? Feb 5, 2015
@coates Well, at least I know where I can find those, along with New Belgium. Stupid Pittsburgh distributors. Dec 27, 2014
@coates Are Evil Twin beers fairly widely distributed? Found a whole slew of them at a bottle shop in Michigan. Dec 27, 2014
@coates Ah. Iframe is a big mistake. That's a crucial fuck up. Dec 8, 2014
@coates I haven't had to use Verified By Visa in recent memory, but it was recently described to me as a sort of OAuth for payments. Not so? Dec 8, 2014

@coates Have you looked at Pyramid at all? It's a pretty worthy alternative to Django. Mar 8, 2012
Happy birthday @coates! Hope you have a year full of awesome air kicks. Feb 9, 2012
@coates It's ok. I have access to a much better resource, BeerCoates. Jan 31, 2012
@coates Look at @beeradvocate. Do you really think the "bros" give two shits about quality or experience? Jan 31, 2012

@coates They are not funny in a very subtle way. Nov 28, 2011
@coates Do you sync a lot of tracks to your phone for offline listening, supplement with your own collection, or do most listening on wifi? Nov 12, 2011
@coates That's the solution to DRM. Share it all you want, but the more you listen, the more it degrades. Nov 11, 2011

@coates A lot of leakage from the cap of one bottle. Is that a "drink tonight"er? Apr 24, 2011
@coates when checking a bag with beer in it, should I declare it as a "special item"? Apr 23, 2011
@coates I always thought that was sort of tacky and beneath Apple. Expected from other companies though. Apr 14, 2011
@coates Look for the sad version on the streets of Detroit tonight at about 2am. Mar 17, 2011

@coates What does it mean?! A full-on single rainbow! Aug 10, 2010
@coates I've done that before. Aug 2, 2010
@coates I was satisfied with the finale. I feel like the characters and the story have closure, and that's all I can ask for. Jun 4, 2010
@coates I get that when flying to DTW from PIT. Flying anywhere else from PIT by way of DTW is $50 to $100 cheaper than to DTW. Mar 22, 2010
@coates I know! When people mix those up, it makes me fewer happy! Mar 8, 2010
@coates Jealous. Mar 4, 2010
@coates perhaps this will help: check out the craft beer blog www.shouldidrinkthat.com. The guys who run it were pretty amusing in person. Oct 11, 2009
@coates SMS + Twitter is just a dangerous idea. Oct 5, 2009

@coates Agreed. Some of the season finales this year were a bit too much of a cliffhanger. See also: Southland. May 25, 2009
On my way to Goose Island Brewpub with @a, @h, @coates, @likapika, @tychay and @flackette. Starving, and hoping for some delicious food. May 23, 2009
