Binary Adder @franchak.dev · 08/08/2025It's been long enough since I left my last job that when someone asks what I do, I've started saying I 'used to be' a software engineer. The shift in language feels heavy. Hopefully that changes within the next year. I've been taking time to chase after health issues — turns out there are many! 030
Binary Adder @franchak.dev · 08/08/2025Gemini needs a better way to organize chats, especially by automatically separating 'digital assistant' chats from manually-created ones. This should be a uniform (in look-and-feel and functionality) feature across both the web and mobile apps. 030
Binary Adder @franchak.dev · 07/08/2025Oh my goodness. I wish I knew when I stayed in Vegas last year (though I was on the opposite end of the strip). I've been missing Irish breakfasts ever since I honeymooned in Ireland in 2017. We did discover Siegel's Bagelmania and it would probably be hard not to go back there if we visit again. 100

Binary Adder @franchak.dev · 18/07/2025The cycle of owning a CPAP machine: 1. Take a few days to get your mask fit just right to minimize leaks. 2. Have a few nights with a perfect mask fit. 3. Weekly cleaning time! Completely disassemble the mask to clean it, losing that perfect mask fit you had. 4. Rinse and repeat, ad infinitum. 020

Binary Adder @franchak.dev · 18/07/2025I should say: voluntarily taking time off before the job market for software engineering tanked, AI blew up, and Trump was reelected. My state of mind a year ago was way too optimistic. 000
Binary Adder @franchak.dev · 18/07/2025I'm a few days away from my one year anniversary of being unemployed. What a surreal feeling. I might as well refer to this period as my mid-career retirement. Hopefully there will be a second half to my career and I didn't ruin it by voluntarily taking time away. 🤞 100

Binary Adder @franchak.dev · 08/07/2025We do have the Hyundai one (think we got it on sale?). I'm lacking in extension cords and a way to run them into the house without letting a million bugs in.
