TIL when I use international roaming on my phone, it actually tunnels all my traffic through a host back in Australia. Makes trying to test deploying my app in multi-region, fun! No wonder I kept hitting Sydney instead of Stockholm…

I’ve been thinking a lot about what are almost like dark patterns in LLMs that make them much harder to use for learning about coding than they need to be. They’re designed around taking action, and it can be hard to get them to just support in you in learning jola.dev/posts/ai-ant...

jola.dev

AI is antithetical to learning

LLM agents can write a lot of code for you very fast, but they also take away opportunities to learn and grow.

Tier list for Indian-owned teams in the Hundred, worst to best: 4. MI London - never ever ever liked MI or any of their derivatives. (See: Hardik Pandya) And they killed my Oval Invincibles! And "My London" sounds stupid. And they started this disasterous trend of cringey team songs. And.... 🧵

Rules I use to determine who to cheer for in a cricket match (part 1): 1. Is Australia playing? Then cheer for Australia 2. Is England playing? Then cheer for whoever England is playing against (because lol England) 3. Is an associate member playing against a full member? (cont)

Let's highlight dialogue topics that are relevant to quests, and link to the quests! #Morrowind #Goatmire #ElixirLang

A screenshot of a webpage showing a list of dialogue topics in Morrowind, and a set of responses for the topic "1000-drake pledge".

The topic is highlighted in the topic listing with a (1) to show it is related to one quest, and the details section shows a link to the related quest "Pledge from Canctunian Ponius"

I am absolutely tickled that I can code things like "list all the NPCs in Morrowind, sorted by the number of quests they are a part of." If you don't know what I'm on about, or are curious and want to hear more, I'll be giving a talk about it at Goatmire Elixir! #goatmire #elixirlang

In the waning years of the Third Era of Tamriel, a prisoner born on a certain day to uncertain parents was sent under guard, without explanation, to Morrowind, ignorant of the role he was to play in that nation's history... --Today is the 24 anniversary of The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind!

So I said I’d post another photo of my epic cross stitch project when I reached the 20% mark - that day is today! Unrolling it, it feels both underwhelming and overwhelming at the same time 🤪 (Top to bottom is exactly 72.3cm, or almost 29 inches)

Because I reached another mini-milestone on my epic cross-stitch project, I thought I'd share another photo. I'm currently at 18.5%! And this is just a tiny zoomed-in bit - when I get to 20%, I might unroll it and take a photo of the whole thing so far 😎

One of the other goals I set for myself this year was to get back into language learning. I did pass the N5 Japanese exam at the end of 2024, do I continue that and aim for N4 this year? Or do I start learning Korean, or continue with my Esperanto studies? Decisions, decisions...

See, now there's the added FOMO angle. Soooo many other people have read it in 2025, and if you haven't? That's a real shame. (All jokes aside, *incredibly* honoured to receive this title - PragPrag and their books have absolutely shaped and improved my and so many others' careers.)

Zach tends to give talks about Ash. Which makes sense. While this talk does involve Ash it hits on something deeper and more fundamental. Revolutionary technology. Heck of a way to start off day 1 of…
