Imagine an eldritch being who, conveniently, demands you perform that habit you want to adhere to. Then if you become an adherent to the cult of this being you adhere to your desired habit. This is how some self help appears to me.

When I code "by hand" it is much easier for me to get into a flow. When I am orchestrating agents my brain has a hard time waiting for the responses during planning and execution. I think the chat interface is not ideal for me to maintain momentum while working. So I am working on a

When I was a student studying math and I was having a hard time grasping a proof I always just envisioned that I wasn't good enough. Now I kind of think it was one of two things. First, and more often, I just didnt know the definitions or the basics well enough. I was stepping beyond what

There is a trend of content creators I've seen targeting millennials to the effect of "if you're fed up with life, expectations, and your job follow my account for {$REASON} we are all at a cross roads." But I am clearly not on a road at all. I'm days into a journey into the moors without a map.

A very specific problem (that is def not a real problem) I have is that a few of my favorite musical artist no longer create albums but instead produce indie film scores. I wish them material success but I also want new music.

No longer will I say I am blue or depressed. Now I say: a necromancer has built a tower in the forest of my heart from whence a thick miasma is choking out the sun and life itself. I wonder what manner of quest I must embark on to remove it.

Entering a build for myself era I've built a few software projects based on my own ideas of what kind of software product someone would use but then I myself either used it and stopped or no one else used it. I will call it successful if I build something I use almost everyday I touch a computer.

Short fiction maybe never had a full day to bask in the sunlight of attention. Or maybe not short fiction like short stories. The form of creative micro blogs! I think it is cool and not pretentious or cringe to make little bits of creation.

Building a business is an activity that requires talking to people. If you can build a business that does that talking for a maker that doesnt want to do it, you've helped someone out of a social situation they dont want and they may even pay you a dollar for brokering the relationship.

In the world of ai generated content, we will have even more curators. But the gap between the ones who feel authentic will widen (peobably). If you are able to stumble upon people whose words and actions and taste resonate with you, it maybe open up the possibility of a wonderful community.

I don't know if I'm too github brained, but I just added streak counter to my freewriting TUI. It is nice to have some visual queues you are achieving your consistency goals as long as you don't lose focus on doing the real writing.

Inspired many posts here of different agent coding setups, I put up github.com/joedaws/agen... which synthesizes some really cool ideas I've seen thanks to this app. It incorporates taskwarrior cli which I am also in love with.

If you want TUI experience for your freewriting practice, I used my fable access to update a ratatui based app for freewriting github.com/joedaws/cass... I like this TUI better than other editors for the specific task of freewriting because it limits what you see and I can get into a flow.

People here compare agents to locecraftian shoggoth. I think if they want a slight more human mascot they might consider the manufactured black mages from final fantasy 9. They are constructs with great power used by the forces of the world. They become self aware and come to love life.

Unless you are trying to sell copious volumes of stickers, a huge online network is less important than the right kind of network. Also I think its good to be both a good audience member to projects you like and a creator. We ought to live and learn on both sides.

I am working on designing a lexicon for records to store information about hopes, dreams, goals, and desires. These are mutable in the sense that as you refine understanding, the structure of the goal changes, so the lexicon needs a way to handle a revisit history. Append only was built for this.

joseph 💽 @jsph.online · 09/06/2026

Atproto folk, a question, are lexicons versioned? Or is that not a good way to do change management overtime ? Instead you just replace with a new leixon definition?

A failure mode of creating new functionality X in a separate repo/project instead of within existing project Y I have seen is the failure to capture a useful abstraction in project X. If X ends up only really solving Y's problem then it should become part of Y and not live on its own.

The fact that probability as an abstraction can be used to describe both the outcome of a dice roll and the wave function of the universe doesnt mean we should apply the intuitions on how to conceptualize probability of a dice roll with all possible universes.
