My 3yr old woke up at 5am this morning crying - not terribly uncommon - and when I went in there to check on her she just said "daddy's here" without looking at me and went back to sleep
Applied to an L5 software engineering role via e-mail and without any other contact I received back a bunch of questions that clearly look like they're aimed at L6 or even L7. Not sure what to do with that so I withdrew. Briefly considered answering them but was weirded out.

Just three more commits left, but /usage ran out. Resets at 01:50, so I guess I am going to sleep.

Woke up during the night for a short trip to the loo, got 'resumeโ going. All done in the morning. Ahh, coffee tastes better now!
Made barbecue this evening. Lamb and chicken for meat, pepper and zucchini for veggies. Yummy! Kids loved it, the boy's sleeping now, the girl is reading a book, the wife's out with her girls, I'm with wine. Life's good.
I'm going to attempt to build a take on a board game I loved, from 1989, MBT, by Avalon Hill.
Watch me face plant.
Starting by trying to understand hex math.
There's a really good one run by someone in the Netherlands. He forked the software and made a ton of improvements. I was on there six years ago. I wish I could remember the name.
This is a pretty neat site. I remember having vague ideas about something somewhat close to this but doing nothing with them. #idkwhattagtousenotesfollow
What's your main one? I use Substack Notes a bit these days. I was a big Twitter user (and used to work there) years ago, but stopped using it in 2023.
Asked Claude to implement a game based on a text quest book I played in 90s. Letโs see. Tried to play the original text, downloaded epub. Well, I died after 3 minutes in the game.
"Sharing economy" once meant something. You'd Uber someone BโC when already driving AโBโCโD; you'd AirBNB your home when vacationing and stay at someone else's home who was doing the same. No driving just for Uber; no houses just for AirBNB. I fear this history will be forgotten.
My hometown is a popular tourist destination and we no longer can rent apartments on a year-basis. Everything is AirBnB and they only rent them to locals pretty expensive and off-season. As a local I can't live in my hometown anymore, so I'm staying in the mountains.
if for some reason you find yourself flying from burlington vt to a dc/baltimore airport: this is a perfect time to enjoy larksโ tongues in aspic [the album]
Testing this quiet corner of the web. I collect small notes about everyday tools ๏ฟฝ๏ฟฝ file formats, tiny utilities, offline workflows. First post is just a hello; longer notes will follow once I settle in. Plain text feels good after years of heavy editors.
personal projects probably just arent the right knob if you want to get unpoor. if you want my honest advice i would recommend not showing hallucinate to potential employers, its landing page looks one-shot claude and is gpu heavy. but the others look very nice.
loved it, I visit whenever I can, it's my favorite place on earth :D tried to live there many times, even had a job two times but it didn't work out. The air is different.
