Made a Printer Friend which quickly transcribes speech onto little slips of paper. Very nice for card sorts, quickly capturing open loops, discursive notes in books, etc. The speed of thermal printers and their auto-cutters is so satisfying! And dedicated mechanical key! Mm!

Dead serious I think Atmosphere in a Box might be one of the best DevEX things I've ever created. Dropped it in to remove a railway dependency on one product already. Released 0.7.0 last night adding dynamic network allocation, wildcard domains, jwks secret generation, and stronger CI examples.

What still frazzles me is that the animation wasn't done with diffusion models like the AI-generated images and video we're now all used to seeing. This was made by a language model.

I don't think AOC should cater to eugenicists, either, *AND* there is a mistaken logic here. The anti-vaxx movement ABSOLUTELY preys on women with medical trauma, most especially from birth. That doesn't mean it doesn't target a specific (white, affluent) subset of those women.
