Absolutely. It's a simple loop, written in Go, uses bubbletea and honestly it's so simple, but it works great. I was using Qwen with Claude Code, but tool usage was failing with updates. I wrote this super simple harness, and it's just fantastic + stable. 47tok/s on 64gb mbp m4. Crazy.

America has started an energy crisis, meanwhile my Dutch 100% renewable energy provider is giving free electricity on the weekends until September to deal with too much green energy during peak hours. The American mind can not comprehend.

I created a New Tab Chrome extension a year or two ago which is used by maybe ~30 people. A new image every 4 hours, with a new business / finance headline on every new tab load. I don't read the news as a result, and yet stay on top of it all. Sometimes it's nice to make something for yourself.

Started getting a few more clicks from Google and my search ranking position is slowly climbing up. Also "not indexed" has jumped down. Still a lot of work to do, but we're going in the right direction.

My gym is amazing: - €1 off your subscription every time you go - Free shakes, coffee, flavoured water - 4 floors of equipment - Sauna - Occasional DJs Went 157 times last year and lifted 747 metric ton. In the best shape of my life and I’m loving it.

Damn Google, why you gotta do me dirty like that? The reassuring thing is the search position has spiked back somewhat, so I think this is a situation I can save.

One of my servers had a network issue while I’m on holidays. The zero downtime work I did took out the server and loaded it back in once it was available again. No customer facing issues, and I only found out after I got internet when back from visiting a waterfall ✌️

It's crazy how small changes can affect a product. I built a Chrome/Firefox extension a year ago which shows the headlines from various business news sources and an image every few hours. People would download and uninstall. I add the ability to click into the article, and people stuck around.
