    My reasons for initially dismissing it is because to me it felt like it was taking the fun part of the job. We have all these tasks, and writing the code is this creative act, desi…

    I do this with my friends sometimes. It’s definitely fun. But it’s even more low-key than what the author describes. There’s no big group chat or lighting talks, which would be wei…

    We tried homeschooling a few times. We were honest with ourselves and determined we were not that great at it. Sure, we could improve. But one of the primary factors in where we ch…

    I have a Gen 1 Nest. Is it common for them to brick if you connect them to the internet?

    Yep, didn’t realize this was unknown by enough web developers to warrant an article.

    For the longest time I railed against the fact that I am mortal, and my time is finite. I wanted to squeeze everything I could into my days, and I would feel guilty about projects …

    The human performance at the bottom of the page was nice. But you can also give a great musician a zipper and paper bag and they can make it sound nice. It’s just like LLM generate…

    I had surgery for a torn meniscus repair. I’m on the couch for a least another month. I’m using this precious expanded free time to compose music, my primary form of artistic expre…

    Also- getting cold symptoms and simply not acknowledging that it could be covid doesn’t make it not covid.

    Constraints are not too crazy of a concept. It’s not much different than say, writing a traditional Schoenberg style 12-tone composition. You would create your tone rows and then w…
