Major cheat code for life: Build a boring baseline. Go to bed early. Wake up early. Move your body. Eat simple foods. Save money. Read good books. Avoid drama. Be present. Listen intently. Change your mind. The inputs may not look impressive, but the results certainly do.

This is a gem. I have been exploring this exact problem to build a self hosted infra for agents, browsers and everything in between. This came to me at the best time
I’ve been talking about it sparingly over the last year but I open sourced Mantissa today: an experimental distributed scheduler and orchestration system.

Playing ARC Raiders on a MacBook using GeForce Now with Starlink. Surprisingly stable and playable, with proximity chat.

being with someone isn’t all sunshine and rainbows. people leave too fast the moment they see the raw, unpolished parts of their partner
after all we are gardens shaped by everyone who tended it before. some soil is depleted. some flowers were uprooted. some corners are overgrown with weeds and neglect. or the garden could be barren
it’s not your job to blame your partner for who walked through it or shame them for the damage left behind
but if you choose to stay it becomes your privilege and your responsibility to tend the soil together, plant new seeds, and patiently grow something beautiful again

Without much surprise, my top songs for 2025. This was a crazy good year for video games soundtracks. If ARC Raiders released a bit earlier this year, « The Rust Belt » would probably be among this top.
I don't think that's due or will be made worse by AI.
My feeling is that it started somewhere around Covid, or slightly before. Tech was not the only sector affected. Quality of everything took a nosedive. Things I purchased arrived broken, with non existent QA. Support couldn't fix issues (physical product or software). Packages got lost more often. Software and games I played felt buggier than ever before. This never recovered gracefully. Successive layoffs made that worse due to a loss of morale in the workforce.
It's almost as if everybody gave up on service quality and UX all of a sudden. As if we were all in survival mode with no energy and resources left to release good experiences to users and clients. Surprisingly perhaps, I think that AI could reverse that trend.
Anybody who complains about Rust syntax being obtuse has never used Scala with Scalaz where you'd need a PhD in type theory and a bottle of whisky to understand a type definition.
10/10 review of ARC Raiders. Spending my time shouting "friendly!" on every player encounter while also developing PTSD for bots and drones.
We grossly overestimate our capacity to produce good code and we severely underestimate the capacity of AI to produce better code than us. It’s pure programmer ego at play.
The Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 concert tonight was out of this world. I recommend even if you haven’t played the game and like symphonies. They cracked the code for the most emotional music in a video game to date. Beyond beautiful.
For real though. I'd probably pay for an additional Codex monthly sub on top of a Pro sub just to get dedicated compute/resources. It was *that good* before.
Kubernetes complexity: Wikipedia versus Grokipedia.
Grokipedia wins IMO with useful context. Yes it is complex but why? What are the implications of this complexity?
Today is a good day so far, turning 36 and breaking new personal best (Vo2 max and sleep/exercise streak). Gamifying health is the future.
Added overlay networking and secrets management features to this Rust based orchestrator I've been working on.
Thinking about adding RustFS support next, could be used to drive a distributed image registry.
(It's a screen for ants. Nobody gonna read all that sh*t anyways 😂)
