It is frames like one life's work or purpose or "Ikigai" has to be one specific thing. I don't believe that this is an Official Requirement™️ by the Bureau of Purpose in Life. In other words, this sounds great

github.com/Ducksss/codex-profiles is a Codex/ChatGPT profile switcher, utterly irrelevant for me and this post -- but what I find worrisome as a macOS dev is that this is a macOS AppKit app code repo with 53% Shell script 24% Swift rest is web tech. That's not how I build my AppKit apps

Everyone, I have a suggestion: New Skill November. #NewSkillNovember
NEW SKILL NOVEMBER

[an art nouveau painting in autumn colors of a woman playing the harp]

LEARN A NEW SKILL OR REBUILD AN OLD ONE; THE ONLY RULE: DO IT YOURSELF, DO NOT USE AI

Sketching, knitting, whittling, a musical instrument, a foreign language, a tricky video game, cooking, weaving, changing oil, riding a bike, painting, pixel art, website design, digital image editing, bookbinding, calligraphy, identifying mushrooms, embroidery, soldering, that one thing you've been putting off

Do the hard part yourself, no matter how imperfect it feels. Learn and internalize how it really works. Consult guides written by human experts, and ask your fellow human beings for help. Take pride in knowledge and abilities that are an intrinsic part of your existence and not dependent on renting from corporations.

Do I know someone with a charging station where you have cables _and_ magnetic/Qi charging that is happy with it and can recommend the product? Goal wouldn't be fancy display, just to have something in the living room to put phones and earbuds onto to charge

Spend two hours reading and taking notes on Swift async streams/channels and backpressure. You can't reason about backpressure locally. You need to inspect the chain and potentially all function calls within a consumer -- and consequentially keep the amount of hops minimal to help reason about […]

You see, the thing about principles is that you need to hold to them not just when it's convenient. If you only reject LLM use when the results are bad but jump on board when the output suits you, you’re telling me that the externalities were never truly the issue. You just liked hearing […]

“OK; one more time: Go home and log on to
our website from your computer, create an
account and purchase your ticket with your
