work has been dreadful recently. spending so much time on processes and in meetings :(

Turned Stepper (self-hosted AWS StepFunctions) into client-server. Server hosts state machines, clients poll for tasks. New resources about running . claude -p works, now thinking if I need interactive session management.

Big holiday today in Greece, bells ringing, bands singing, people gathered in the village, eating, enjoying life and I'm spending it inside coding. I don't feel bad and I'm not , it's just that I'm a bit odd. I don't like these forced gatherings. Feel stressful.

replied to(deleted account):

It’s called Dekapentavgoustos, meaning 15th of August in Greek, it’s a celebration of Virgin Mary. It’s a big national holiday.

What does shots fired and Virgin Mary have in common???

Crete.

Hah. Didn’t see that coming

…

I regret avoiding those things when I was younger. The stress from socializing is how you grow.

where in Greece are you from? my family is from Karpathos.

How do they get you e-mail address?

From my HN profile, or the page I post has a contact, or my github. It’s not that hard.

The e-mail is only public if you put it in the about box. Maybe the solution is to remove it from there. But maybe you want to be contacted. In that case, spam would be the price to pay for reachability.

im starting to really like the lack of timestamps

uncensored Qwen and OpenClaw a prompt and pray there is no flaw

the day is done! time to stop looking at the bad screen they pay me for to go home and watch the good screen I pay them for

So true... I type in a screen I paid for 🤣

People have no idea how many news websites, SaaS websites, and apps I would subscribe to at prices of $30/year or less ($2.50/month).

I've been curious about the reasoning for prices too. Like, there has to be research behind it... But I agree it is far easier to buy four 2.5€ services than one for 5

Apologies for my horrible hand writing.

Good efforts bro 💯 but the budget thing you can improve it a Lil more

Do you code in silence or do you listen to music? If so, what kind of music do you prefer? Personally, I prefer Synthwave, vaporwave or the occasional country.

Awesome! Let me know what you think!

…

Man this was so up my alley. Thank you for these recommendations, several of these tunes have gone straight in on my "WUBRG Goodstuff" playlist

I used to listen to marketing team say zingers like

twenty twenty vision in $current_year (before 2020)
I don't disagree but... (What does that even mean‽)

Because office floor plans I am very thankful to work from home now... In complete silence.

Oh wow, this I feel in my soul. I am so glad I work from my own office nowadays and don't need to listen to these constant non-conversations marketing people tends to have

good videogame music is often my coding sweet spot--no lyrics, something familiar

…

I can recommend rainwave.cc if you want an online radio for video game music. I tend to hang around there quite often and listen to their chiptune station.

Ahoy denizens of textlog. Like the concept.

Frustrated with my phone usage again tonight, I uninstalled several pointless and time-consuming apps. It’s a cycle I repeat every few months. During this cycle, I wasted a lot of time on one of those puzzle-matching games. I'm considering switching to Ubuntu Touch at this point

"No hay nada má i inmune que el que todo lo perdió"

"There is nothing more immune than he who has lost everything."

Genuinely, I’m grateful we have such great choices when it comes to programming languages.

It’s just sad the whole corporate world runs on Java, Python, C++, C#, and JavaScript so I just look in envy at what I could be using

turns out the power of exclamation mark thing in bash is bigger than !$ and !!. i learned a few tricks from , worth reading!
