This happens all the time and I find it so unhelpful. It looks like tomorrow will be rainy. 60% and a rain symbol. Except when I look at the precipitation details, there’s light rain at 6am. Does this annoy anyone else, or just me?
Screenshot from the iOS weather app showing rain and 60% on Saturday. A screenshot of the weather app on iOS showing there will be a 60% chance of light rain at 6am.

I didn't know how to explain in a single Bluesky post so I spent a month writing a blog post. bsky.app/profile/baxt...

I've been trying to use Jujutsu lately and I wanted to write about how I transitioned from my Git workflow. I hope you find it useful! baxter.sh/adopting-juj... #jj-vcs

Adopting Jujutsu
I’ve always loved the safety net that a VCS like Git provides, but I’ve never loved git’s user interface/experience, nor the mental model that I’ve tried to hold in my head while I’m using it. Jujutsu...

"the menswear guy isn't fair and balanced." do you even hear yourself? "fork lady is eroding public confidence." "ladder baby is undermining the credibility of the field." "lemon raccoon is acting without transparency or accountability." that's what you sound like.

It does seem like Sultana has been messed about by Corbyn and the others, but I don’t think this was a good way to deal with it.

I almost signed up until alarm bells started ringing wondering if it was an actual phishing attempt. Whether it was well intentioned or not, I’m just annoyed and embarrassed for this new party.

This whole farce with the “Your Party” membership email has left a really bad taste in my mouth. I like Sultana but the email, which used a similar but different URL to the official “Your Party” website for memberships, seems borderline phishing. leftfootforward.org/2025/09/brea...

To provide a better version control experience. It can act as an alternative interface for git, but in the longer term I believe the goal is to be a complete alternative to git.

I just wanted to rebase the *current* revision. "d0421057deaf" is a completely unrelated revision… I'm confused.

baxter @baxter.sh · 10/09/2025
The last few days I've been trying to get my head around #jj-vcs. I feel like I don't understand some fundamental things. Like, after I do a merge of a PR, I do "jj git fetch", and then on an existing revision I do "jj rebase -d main", and get "Error: Commit d0421057deaf is immutable" ...

I don’t even know how to describe the noise it made. It did sound quite emergencyish, I suppose.

I remember reading a fable/anecdote years ago about how when an engineer goes to a conference they say “that was a waste of time, I only learned one or two new things” whereas when a salesperson goes to a conference they say “that was great, I learned one or two new things”

I considered writing a long carefully constructed argument laying out the harms and limitations of AI, but instead I wrote about being a hater. Only humans can be haters.

I'll say it once and I'll say it again. If you think artists are just "naturally talented", you're deeply wrong. The only difference between you and us is that we kept trying when it didn't come out like we hoped. You can always make art yourself. There's no bad time to start, you can start now.

I'm not using nushell 100% of the time, but it's really nice dipping into it to write things in a more readable way, e.g. finding out which directories take up the most space: ~> du ./* | select path physical | sort-by physical | reverse #nushell
A screenshot of a terminal showing a query in nushell to list directories by size, and the result of that query, a table showing all of the results.

applying for jobs again
screenshot from an online job application form. the question reads "Can you describe specific ways you have integrated AI tools into your development workflow? Please include any custom setups, automations, or use cases beyond single prompt usage" (a red asterisk indicates that this is a required question).

an answer has been typed in the textbox below the question:

"there is a monster in the forest and it speaks with a thousand voices. it will answer any question you pose it, it will offer insight to any idea. it will help you, it will thank you, it will never bid you leave. it will even tell you of the darkest arts, if you know precisely how to ask.

it feels no joy and no sorrow, it knows no right and no wrong. it knows not truth from lie, though it speaks them all the same.
 
it offers its services freely to any passerby, and many will tell you they find great value in its conversation. “you simply must visit the monster—i always just ask the monster.”

there are those who know these forests well; they will tell you that freely offered doesn’t mean it has no price

for when the next traveler passes by, the monster speaks with a thousand and one voices. and when you dream you see the monster; the monster wears your face."
