On the lower end of the sine wave of stress and burnout. Looking forward to the ascent.

Hello World!

I stopped interacting much with social media years ago and am honestly not sure how to do this any more… but I like the shape of what is starting here.

I subscribe to the Tony Stark school of engineering. "Sometimes you have to run before you walk." Earlier this year, I built my own static site generator. I hate literally every static site generator out there (not joking). get-taxus.org

This is like the third time in my life I've seen an interrobang in the wild. And I don't know, but I'd prefer JSON over having configuration as constants in a PHP script like at $DAYJOB sob

Finished watching Titanic with kids. One of the best movies ever.

I wonder, is life best lived like a job? I.e set goals for yourself and then work to achieve them? Today I realised how passively I have been living mine so far, but maybe that's ok? I don't want a second job.

I’m using textlog to explore the intersection of #foodnotesfollow and tech, with the goal of building an app that solves a problem in this space. Named @C0C0A5profilefollowwww.C0C0A5.com, it's word represented as a hex color. Of all the words there, it is a cocoa-ish color and is an appropriate name for this idea.

this is where I live. it’s a plateau. it’s quiet, we have cats and there are goats around and fig and pear trees. #mapnotesfollow Kallikratis, CreteKalikratisMunicipality of Sfakia, Chania Regional Unit, Region of Crete, Greece

Real bummer for #Valvenotesfollow about the #Framenotesfollow price. I'm sure this is absolutely not what any of them wanted. #Gamingnotesfollow #Steamnotesfollow

So we can't use em dash anymore — lest we anger the mob. Truth be told though, English teachers have always discouraged em dash overuse because it is a subtle art and very easy to get wrong.

@silverprofilefollow, 'for you' tab only show text by me. is that it?

Happy Software Freedom Day, everyone!

az Ubuntu pedig a sandboxban fut, fut, futrinkázik, de egyelőre csak hollandul hajlandó velem kommunikálni

code quality is about coupling. coupling is not a technical property of the code bytes. code acquires its meaning in contact with the cultural environment, and coupling is about meaning. two constants with no semantic relationship are nonetheless coupled in pragmatics if they refer to the same domain concept. if your goal is to minimise the time integral of future work, you must understand your domain: it decides which lines will need changing. to carve up a codebase is to carve up the world.

I very much like textlog, it feels like a breath of fresh air

met someone at a book club I went to for the first time today and invited them over for an evening bowl, cool to talk tech to another techy especially one familiar with llms at not just a surface level

Was prompting Claude via remote control on my phone in btwn sets at the gym this morning. I use peonpingpeonping.compeon-ping — Stop babysitting your terminalSound notifications for any AI agent — hooks for Claude Code, Cursor, Codex & more, plus an MCP server so the agent can choose its own sounds., so my wife kept hearing a StarCraft SCV periodically reporting "job's finished" from my office 😆
