I have a travellers journal and one of the inserts in that is my messy, unstructured brain dump of thoughts. The other two are for daily planning and the more structured long term things. Seems to work for me but if I hasn't found some

I very much connect with the "I'm in grief but desperately trying to hold onto something long dead". People point to the smolweb (ugh, that term), Gemini, or something else as proof it's still there, but it really isn&#x

That's the one, having the chat interface to the side, with really nice support for various resume options and when prompting the CLI it's having reference to the buffer open has been very helpful.

This is working great, it plus the Claude code integration has really adjusted how much I use Emacs. It's become a bit of a hub for me now.

Okay, yup, this line of reasoning has me removing agents from my personal machines. I was enjoying the convenience and waved that internal niggle away with a vague feeling of "they would never exploit this", but you're right,

I have a mudita kompact as my primary phone, is there any value in getting an additional device like this?

I would love if a device like this, combined with the zines of old would produce some really creative and interesting shortform content to get folks off smartphones. I'm trying to think in terms of small wins more and 1 minute spent cr

If your up for waiting and the usual crowd funding risks there's https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/zerowriter/zerowriter-f... I backed it myself.

Looks nice, I'm forced to use OSX at work, but it's a hard no for another subscription.

Yeah that would by my ranking too. At work is Google because it's the best, particularly for collabotation, personally all in on FOSS.

Nothing screams being infantilised by your platform more than having to wait 24 hours to be allowed to install software on your own purchased computing devices.

You should be unbelievably proud of what you've achieved, and it's lovely to be reminded of the amazing things people can accomplish amongst the backdrop of almost deafeningly negative sentiment going around. Thanks for doing what

Yeah, I’m not disputing that AI-assisted engineering is a real shift. It obviously is. My issue is that we’ve now got a million secondary “paradigm shifts” layered on top: agent frameworks, orchestration patterns, prompt DSLs, eval harnesse

Probably, but which ones, do we get to a place where you have X years experience in Gastown development, but I only have Y years experience in Entire. I also keep getting job applications for AI-native 'developers' whatever that m

Christ, a $60m seed round. The AI fatigue is real, and the cooling-off period is going to hurt. We’re deep into concept overload now. Every week it’s another tool (don’t get me started on Gas Town) confidently claiming to solve… something.

This is a very good point. Years ago working in a LAMP stack, the term LAMP could fully describe your software engineering, database setup and infrastructure. I shudder to think of the acronyms for today's tech stacks.

As time goes on, I find myself increasingly worried about supply chain attacks—not from a “this could cost me my job” or “NixOS, CI/CD, Node, etc. are introducing new attack vectors” perspective, but from a more philosophical one. The

Hello! Yes! Writing this from my commute home using my companies M3 Pro and I hate it. I'm waiting for a new joiner so I can hand this off to a new starter who has a different brain to me. I can write up all the details, but it's

I guess I'm one of the color-loving fools, but I found the "look how bad it is" examples far easier to read than the alterative.

I managed trips with friends and it was a great form factor for ad-hoc discussions with docs and links included. I thought it was the future and in my very early programming days wrote probably the most insecure plugin ever to manage your s
