Always wanted to kick-start an OSS library. I'll kick it off and let you know, in case you'd like to share your thoughts, use it, contribute, or whatever. :)

Awesome! I'll kick it off and let you know!

Oh, this sounds awesome. Now that you mention it, it rang a bell. Have you written or posted about it somewhere?

Even though Runna estimates that I’ll be able to break 2 hours at the Warsaw Half Marathon after today’s 13 km, I’ve honestly started to doubt it. 😅

Either way, I’ll try to keep showing up and just do my best. 🤞

As I see more and more people interested in using @bsky.app to enable comments on their blogs, I’m thinking about building a framework-agnostic #OSS library to support that. What do you think? Tagging @jonathanyeong.com and @brittanyellich.com, as I first came across this idea on your blogs. 🤗

Thinking about building something similar for my fam as well. On top of that I’d like to use raspberryPi or something similar to hang a screen somewhere that will display lessons plan, after school activities, doctors appointments, who’s doing what. Sounds like a cool project to me 🫣

Thanks! Will get back to it, especially to chapters 4 and 5. Where are you now? :)

What a photo! Wish to see it myself one day. And for the pace - you’re killing it man! I aim to hit 5:40 during half-marathon in March.

That was a good read, thank you! 🙏

“In a time where there is gnashing of teeth around the meaning of community, what being on the ‘inside’ versus the ‘outside’ means, I want to take a moment to remind my fellow blog writers, blog readers, and blog commenters what makes it all work.

You.”

What an afterword!

“Today, as we move toward and beyond 2025, we are entering a possible era of AI-generated content. You may ask yourself, why bother? It matters. Your words matter, your knowledge matters, and we must continue to push back against the entropy and bit rot of the internet. (…)”

#Warsaw! Friday through Sunday, I’ll be around the city centre with plenty of free time. Happy to meet up to discuss engineering or pretty much anything else. Feel free to DM me! ☕️

Oh, that's lovely, thank you. Five more, and I'll send the first email, lol 😂

And you now have around 300 plus 1! 😅

Trust me, I know that. I had been running a YouTube channel selling premium courses. That said, it's not the case here. This is my pet project. I just wonder if this is a wise investment of my time, considering the reach is fairly low. But this is a question for myself.

Each day isn't a do-over. It's a fresh start. Let's embrace that!

Happy Monday, everyone!

There's something liberating about knowing that once a day ends, it's done. Closed. No way to return or change even the smallest thing.

Unlike Phil Connors reliving the same day endlessly, we get to move forward. We can reflect if we choose to, learn what we need to, and then let it go.

The yesterday is gone. And that's a good thing.

This weekend, I saw the Groundhog Day musical — yes, there's a musical version of the classic film starring Bill Murray and Andie MacDowell, with music by the brilliant Tim Minchin. It sparked an important reflection I wanted to share.

Are #newsletters dead? Especially for early creators?

Just wondering if it even makes sense to start one myself. Currently, I have 4 subscribers (myself and my wife included 😅), and I wonder if this is the right moment or if I should focus more on building visibility/reach, etc. What do you think?

Ok, let's go with evil then 😂
