You know the Ancient Greeks thought that large male appendages were vulgar and barbarian?
I am beginning to feel that way about computer monitors. There's just something so crass about having several large, girthy monitors right up in your face.

Thinking about getting back to youtube.
I was always intimidated by it - but looking at other tech youtubers it doesn't seem that hard. All I have to do is take meth before I hit record and read other peoples blog posts while yelling "chat" occasionally.

Anyone noticed how the people super excited about agentic coding are old guys who don't program full time any more, and the young guys who haven't yet learned how to program well?
There's a very bimodal zoomer/boomer distribution of hype here.

And I've left lobsters too lmao
Please don't let that stop you guys from posting my blogspam there or on HN though. The exposure is good and I do appreciate it.
Thinks to repeated suggestions from lobste.rs, I have decided to rebrand myself as a thought leader in Vibecoding.

Man LLMs cannot write it all.
Sometimes I'm writing stuff and ask it to shoot me a few example sentences. It's always the most long-winded, mealy mouthed dreck imaginable. Thanks Clanker, now I can sound like every other dipshit on LinkedIn, which is super challenging.

Trying a new marketing tactic where I tell everyone they are morons, show them cool 16th century maps, then tell them they should give me money.

Diaspora culture is weird.
Even though I live in the southern hemisphere, we still celebrate Christmas at the same calender date - which is summer for us.
And even though it's winter right now, it's still spiritually White Boy Summer.

I still reflexively visit HN in my downtime, without thinking.
Did it just then and saw 9 different AI articles on the front page.
Never been happier with my choice. This must be what the Primeagen felt like after quitting meth.
I am surprised how relieved I feel after doing this.
Au Revoir Orange Reddit.

Today I stood here and waited for someone whose phone I couldn't call. I just watched the cars coming in, wondering if the next one would be theirs. It was so nostalgic.

I'm averaging about one flagged comment every 2 days on Hacker News. I should probably stop commenting there - it's just Orange Reddit at this point.
Still, Terry Davis > Drew DeVault.

The title of his blog post was - "The circus freaks of open source".
Here's the guy calling Terry Davis a "Circus Freak" btw:

Writing in markdown again after spending the past few weeks in typst is a massive downgrade. It's like trying to tow a shopping trolley with an motorcycle instead of driving a hatchback.
Bullish on typst. I wonder if you could hyperlink different typst documents and serve them..
