Removed all social media —except for LinkedIn, which I use as a tool for work— from my phone. Instead, I’ll check in a once or twice a day from a desktop browser.

Folks that carry little notebooks to jot notes instead of using your phone, I’m curious: where do y’all carry your stuff? I typically try to carry as little as possible, but between wallet, glasses, keys, phone… where do I put the notebook & pen?

Me: Icon Composer looks fun! This should simplify a lot of things. Let’s build something!
Apple: okay, but don’t expect it to work with our CI/CD pipelines!

This was supposed to be a maybe-too-subtle jab at how we’ve lost all of the delight and value of the open web, and every single reply I got pointed to using AI to get what I’m looking for.
I think this is Actually Very Interesting.™️

Been trying to get to a point where I can run 5K, twice a week, using a training program from the NHS. Today's run was tough — lousy sleep and too much time away from running had me pooped by the halfway point.
Next run will be better!

Don’t really need things like multi-cursor support or syntax highlighting (except maybe for Markdown?), mostly looking for something performant and, ideally, extensible.

If you’re a content creator, does knowing that bots are crawling your work to train LLMs make you feel more likely or less likely to put a wall (e.g. subscriber-only content, like newsletters or whatevs) between your work and the open web?
