I first read that as who will nominate Trump as Fed chair. And we live in such wild times, I couldn't assume I'd read it wrong.

The over-engineering is likely a result of the tools we have at our disposal. So easy to build more. But the added complexity in the face of models and software still changing so fast would seem to be a mistake. I guess though, it doesn't have to work for me. As long as it works for the author.

A chair. A whole CHAIR? Yeah. I get it. I'm on the cusp and it wasn't even my chair. ("Did we miscount on the front side? Did it wander off? WTF?!?")

The wondering what happened would really be hard to let go. Much more than the money.

If anyone's interested, happy to lay out the git setup as well as the icloud syncing that I use to make it safe for Claude Code to roam as well as accessible from my phone.

I'm now moving all of those repos into subdirectories in Obsidian. A little easier to navigate, but much easier to traverse and leverage content across areas.

Some of this is also that we need to teach the things that aren't readily accessible from our phones. We didn't stop teaching arithmetic once we had access to digital calculators but we should cover the fundamentals without and then go farther with the aid of these tools.

Signed, a guy very much resisting the urge to vibe code a desktop app just to get my PostHog dashboard as an Apple widget on my desktop. (Who am I kidding? It's just a matter of time.)
