this is the best phishing email I have ever seen in my life. they've been sending me very convincing looking account notices for months now and have gone with "we've made your email gay. you have to click here to un-gay it"

starting my monday off right: getting 20 PagerDuty notifications right as I step into the shower, standing there shivering and naked frantically acking them and begging someone on the east coast to investigate

a pedal builder pal needed some tools to help migrate off of eagle and onto kicad, so I built this thing for generating/editing kicad libraries from spreadsheets. let me know if it sucks! github.com/eric-wood/ki...

kudos to apple for teaching everyone the importance of contrast with their “Liquid Glass” design language.

stayed up until midnight (usually bed time is 9pm) finishing a book and am paying dearly for it today

how old do your kids have to be before you can put them on snow shoveling duty? 6 months right? which developmental phase is it

I know enough music theory to be dangerous but I'll regularly stumble across music theory explainer videos that are completely inscrutable with tons of comments being like "wow such a clear explanation, thank you!"

commissioned to digitize an analog phaser pedal and now I have to finally read up on OTAs and their weird ass control voltages (which are actually all current controlled)

babies at this age (12 weeks) are basically living the Dan Flashes sketch and going apeshit over complex patterns. my son spent like 15 minutes this morning staring at a black and white grid texture cooing and kicking his legs in delight

I fucked up the exposure on most shots on this roll of fomapan but got a lot of baby pics out of it

you ever add a dependency that seems to solve a problem you have only to get weird vibes from it (inconsistent docs, odd API decisions, examples that don't work) then click into the issues and realize the author has just been copy/pasting LLM output?

learning about busy boards and not impressed with existing options. I have been training for this moment my whole life.

man I'm sure oldheads have felt like this for ages but there is a very noticeable swing in the tech industry away from engineering rigor that feels very alienating

apple please bring back aperture. I do not want to pay a subscription for lightroom but the photos app sucks for library management

huge discovery: it's really easy for me to context switch when reading a book, so I've somewhat successfully replaced staring at my phone with it around the house

immediately went from "man I cannot wait for my son to sleep more than 3 hours at a time" to him pulling 7-9 hours every night and panicking because that seems wrong and impossible so surely I did something wrong

I am getting really tired and burnt out.
