First in 2023, now again in 2026. Almost no training, still hit my goal, though I set the bar quite low. Trail running is cheap and fun. And it helps with your head. Go run!

Claude Code's @zed.dev integration is still rough. Script-based edits skip the review UI, and the .md plan files can't be opened in the editor — they just sit cramped in the sidebar. TBH, the built-in agent feels much better, but claude code subscription is still cheaper than direct API usage

that damned AI jagged frontier drives me mad. One day Opus feels like reading my mind. The next, it burns tokens, runs in circles, breaks everything, and digs itself into a hole until I pull the plug

For some reason thought Ready Player One would be smth like Snow Crash, turns out it's much-much weaker. "My first fanfic" level. Now I'm curious what could in the sequel that got "widely negative critical reception" (but not enough to find out)

reading books is fun: neighed, shrill, taciturn, enmity, morose, whelp, indefatigable, ensconced, gambolled, knoll, desultory, nuzzled, conviviality, abhorred, aberrant. so handy that kindle has a built-in vocabulary

Just found out our local cinema shows old films occasionally — they don’t put posters for them so I had no idea. Watched One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest today. So feels like in 2026 I’m about to watch many classics I’ve never seen on the big screen.

I see very few reposts in my feed. Why don't you share stuff you liked more? How could it get discovered by others? Do you rely on "Discover" feed? But it's a weird mix of what I've already seen (more) and new posts (less)

I’ve got a Leatherman Skeletool bought around 2008. After all these years, the screw-bit clamp got loose. Their site says "no questions, forms, just send it to us — we’ll repair or replace." Today I got a brand-new one. 😍 That’s what great warranty and customer service look like.

even sadder to see articles that might’ve not been chatgpt but clearly copied its default style. The authors not having their own voice or sense of good writing, copied what they think is good or professional. really, the worst of both worlds. or nowadays everything here is llm generated?

Feels like for static sites, the only thing HTML/CSS/JS really lacks is HTML includes/partials. Everything else what Astro does (JS modules, CSS preprocessing, bundling )- either works natively in browsers now or could happens at serving/CDN level. Web Components exist but not for HTML templates?

3 of these are in NL, with more throughout Europe (Poland, Spain, Germany). Worth the trip!
I wrote a photo essay with 20+ of my favourite tech museums in the world, and tried to figure out what makes a great museum in the process.
I am very curious what tech museums you like – and why!

Got suspicious at first (UX in Mastodon? Android? Linux?) but the talk by @jenson.org is excellent (all suspicion was entirely my own fault). "UX improvements have stopped". The last major waves were all consumer-focused, not productivity- or professional-focused.

listened to Billy Corgan’s podcast with Al Jourgensen and even mild language like “bullshit” got bleeped out. Odd feeling

you tell yourself: I can learn basic piano. just practice, no special gift needed. Then you see your daughter’s 7-yo classmate, no lessons, casually picking up melodies by ear, unable to even explain what could be hard about it. “The keys are just next to each other. You listen and repeat.” 😭

Listened to 12 podcast episodes on Fela Kuti (Fear No Man). Really like this historian-journalism style. Unfortunately, it usually happens only after death and some time. Letov, Mamonov, now Kuti.
