the curse of being a dedicated generalist is that I worked on this design and started feeling nostalgic for the days I was a FT designer
then I worked on code and missed the days when I was a FT programmer
as a generalist, everything is fun and there's never enough time to focus on any of it π

In trying times, remember that there are small ways to make a difference.
Alex Albert @ @alexalbert_β’4h Heard this quote at a dinner recently: β’β’β’ "I used to think Claude Code was too expensive compared to other dev tools. But after Opus 4, l realized it's actually very affordable compared to what you'd pay a junior software engineer." It feels important to note that we're nearing a price inflection point for Al products where they become good enough that we stop comparing their price to traditional saas products and start comparing them to the cost of human expertise. This will start with code but soon expand into other domains too.
it certainly feels like a goalpost
A screenshot of a newsletter that says "ChatGPT is smarter than the average person but most things worth reading are produced by people significantly above average."
From the latest "Don't worry about the Vase". Something to remember.
Thank you! I'll keep an eye out, though your column from today... isn't encouraging π€£
Where does someone buy these amazing looking special editions? I never see them on Amazon, Bookshop, or at my local Warhammer store?
A screenshot of Apple's "Liquid Glass" YouTube embed, with several letters covered by the Play button, making the cover image say "liquid ass"
Unfortunate Play button placement on this one.
Sad but true (this is not a judgement on B5, which still slaps)
That's... a lot of hail.
I don't know the first half of this sentence but the answer is usually "because they wouldn't have much of a personality otherwise".
ORMs were a mistake.
The "workarounds" involve either NEW TYPES for each combination of included relation or just hoping really hard that the compiler infers the types properly and that you never need to put those types into something that needs a generic type definition.
Trying to use Prisma with Typescript has been one of the worst developer experiences I have had lately. Nothing about how the generated types work with relations aligns with expectations (why aren't the relation fields in the generated types?) or are documented clearly.
Is it as pretty as Reeder on iOS? No. But it looks fine, and it's very fast, and has JUST ENOUGH settings to do all the things you want.
Ever since I switched to Android I've been searching for a decent Android RSS reader, especially one that can handle a self-hosted RSS aggregator. Let me save you a search: it's Capy Reader. You want Capy Reader.
Inside you there are two wolves. One is active, the other one is on hot standby and becomes active if the first one fails or is taken down for maintenance. Add more wolves as necessary for increased redundancy load balancing. A quorum badger can be added for environments with multiple active wolves.
A screenshot from Obsidian. The text reads as follows: Python is a neat language with great libraries but the build/project/dependency ecosystem is completely broken and awful. ### Something maybe specific to AI/LLM but still this ecosystem sucks why is it so bad? A bunch of the LLM tools seem to have dependencies built on Rust. The python ecosystem wants to build those dependencies locally when you install them into your venv. There is absolutely no warning about this, but this means, *by implication*, that you must have a *working Rust build system locally*. The error messages are really, really unhelpful here. Here's how to do that: * Go to the [Rust homepage](https://www.rust-lang.org/learn/get-started) and follow the install instructions That's it, because Rust is a sane language with a build environment designed to make sense.
From my notes as I struggle to get a Python environment running so I can experiment with building an AI agent:
Whoever designed the Apple TV setup process should be forced to do the manual setup without an Apple device forever. Or, alternatively, to step on a lego every time you wake up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom. I'm honestly not sure which one is worse.
Libro is hiring! The Ruby on Rails team I'm on has 3 members right now (me + 2 others) and we're looking for a 4th to round out the team.
If you love Ruby, Rails, remote work and books, I'd love to work with you! ππ
tl:dr: Cook should resign.

all the executive freaks managing successful games media institutions need to do is nothing and they still manage to fuck that up
I know the Android app ecosystem is a mess but there are very talented iOS developers out there who should be thinking really hard about what this says about what Apple thinks of them
Movie you've seen more than 6 times, no Star Wars or LOTR
This was taken using a "Kurosawa Tribute" simulation I found on Reddit. The Nothing Phone 3a Pro is a neat device.
It's been a while since I was last walking regularly and now I'm trying to rebuild the habit and get some fitness back. I found this great path at the back of a tiny park this morning. The Nothing 3a Pro camera isn't bad, and the custom film simulations are pretty neat.

A close up of the print showing off the Lustre paper.
This 100x70cm "Golden Hour" Lustre #print from last year turned out awesomely!
These sizes are a bit pricey, but you want it, right. πΌοΈ
My semi-glossy Lustre prints are made locally by a small business and signed by hand.
Comment if you want one in this or other sizes. Share to help me out.
