I just got encouraged to re-submit my conference talks instead of creating new ones per conference. :mindblown

I am very doubtful this is QAs fault. This seems like a scapegoat was needed. forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/thread...

DJI Neo is such a nice and cool drone. Quick to deploy and use. Good enough videos and well thought out default modes. Drawbacks are the noise (very loud), no SD slot and no collision sensors. Probably one of the best beginner, vlogger drones currently on the market.

I’ve been experimenting with speech-to-text tools like Wispr Flow, then feeding the transcript into ChatGPT for cleanup. Works well for turning messy spoken thoughts into clear writing.

Me: What does a senior sales engineer do? ChatGPT: Imagine you’re helping a friend sell a really cool, super-complicated toy robot. The people who might buy it don’t really understand how it works.

It is ridiculous how easy it is to build AI agents. The longest task was actually getting the authentication for the GitHub app to properly work. Now it is just a matter of using the right models and I will have a blog post agent that reviews my posts and helps me keeping them up to date.

I’ve used AI agents extensively for software development, and as AI agent workloads keep growing, E2E and visual regression tests are more important than ever.

@Apple I bought a high-capacity iPhone because I don’t want to have too many optimized images and videos. Please tell me why I have 800 GB free space and only 24 GB is taken by the Photos app? This should be closer to 100 GB free space. And please allow us to set limits ourself.

Japanese Shinkansen is wildly efficient. Train arrives at 09:04. Everyone that needs to get off is off by 09:05. Then everyone boards within 1 minute and the train departs on time at 09:06.

What is everyone doing with old talks they are not going to do again on stage or that did not get accepted to a conference? Write it out as a blog article? Record it as a video and upload to YouTube?

Waking up at 4 to go to the airport is not nice. Not recommended.

Companies that ignored cloud adoption, dismissed mobile-first, or delayed digital transformation all got left behind. AI is the next wave. Don’t make the same mistake again.

It is very fascinating that the AI has realized its mistake and revised its answer. However, it would be better if it did not make that mistake in the first place

I just used @v0.dev to vibe code a Bluesky feed reader to my website www.yiminyang.dev/thoughts in 2 hours. What took the most time was the styling aka fiddling around with Tailwinds prose class which is too generous with margins IMHO.

The only right date format in any written communication that is in any way with people from other countries is ISO 8601.

It is wild that in 2025 audio conferencing is still so bad. Discord is the goat.

Finally fixed the layout shift in my nav menu. Root cause? The scrollbar. Hiding it with tailwind-scrollbar did the trick, way easier than any other workaround I tried.

I think there is a global conspiracy where companies intentionally are incapable of treating a first name with a space properly. If I put my first name „Yi Min“ into a field then you are not supposed to merge it with my last name and split by the first space character to get „Yi“ and „Min Yang“.

Now that the holidays are over it is time to go through all emails and start unsubscribing from all the marketing emails. Cool little trick is to search emails for "Unsubscribe". Makes it super easy.

Waking up on a Sunday with all Zigbee devices not working is not the kind of Sunday I want to have. The auto-update of my zigbee2mqtt to the latest version broke the whole setup. The latest dev branch has a fix though. Lesson learned: no auto-update for critical systems. Happy Sunday!
