Gotta love the French bureaucracy and it’s friendly copywriting

Any UK small business owners who are using Wise as their only business bank account? Thinking of switching to that (from Revolut) because of lower costs, would love some feedback!

This morning we visited the local primary school (our daughter will start reception next September) and man, it’s so nice! I kind of expected it to be nice, because each time we walk past it, the kids wave and say hi and talk to my daughter, but I was still impressed. A reason to stay in London…

I started using https://keybr.com for my #dvorak practice. Progress is slow, but the letters I do know, I can touch-type pretty reliably! So far I’ve got E, N, I, A, R, L, T, and O.

A GitHub alternative built on #atproto: looks pretty good! https://tangled.org/

Earlier it was super foggy and now it’s a lovely sunny day ☀️

These days I only use my personal laptop to do admin, but whenever I open it I really miss it. It's full of My Stuff: cool projects, music, thousands of open tabs on my topics of interest, my photo library, started but unfinished blogposts, and so on. It's like my treehouse, in a way that my […]

Another feature I like from iOS 26 (although maybe it was there before?) is the random wallpaper change every hour. Somehow it’s pretty good at picking pictures I like, and it’s really nice to be reminded of somewhat forgotten moments. (feat. @Tingyi)

The screen unknown callers feature in iOS 26 just screened a spammer for me. Useful software, love it.

At the empty coworking space today with E peacefully sleeping on my chest while I’m catching up on some Clojure debugging. Flexible work has its downsides, sure, but I’ll take this over a 9-5 at the office any time.

I’m obsessed with this concert, been playing it (and the album version) on loop for the past two weeks now. Over time new favourites emerge! Currently really vibing with F.I.L.O., and Luv (Sic) Pt. 2. Uyama’s soprano sax is so good! https://youtu.be/NzNIkS4NDWg?si=0R1my35FLR8A_gaN #nujabes […]

Ain’t no drama like nursery parents group chat drama

A really cool surprise from OMA & Shing02's awesome Luv(sic) Hexalogy live album are the couple of Japanese covers of hip-hop classics, like this one of Ice Cube's You Know How We Do It: https://youtu.be/IUUTujZbLiM I wish my Japanese was good enough to transcribe the lyrics! #theStudio

Distressing happenings in the Ruby community. Between this and DHH going full mask-off, it feels like a new era is about to begin. Hopefully a more decentralised one! https://ruby.social/@joeldrapper/115254240567396139

[Car stuff, elon musk adjacent] Took our car to be serviced today, and they let me use a tiny windowless office to work while they worked on the car.

Phanpy is truly one of the best in-browser applications I've ever had the pleasure of using. What a fantastic job, @cheeaun 👏👏👏

Back to doing 4clojure problems. It was interesting to explore update, and also to find out that class names can totally serve as keys in maps in #clojure

[Ukpol] So farage wants to abolish indefinite leave to remain... I guess it's becoming more and more urgent to apply for citizenship 😬

Rewatching Simple Made Easy, I love how strongly it applies to the age of vibecoding, which is pretty much incidental-complexity-maxxing. And as we know, "incidental" is latin for "your fault". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SxdOUGdseq4

"We are working on refartoring the..." #UnfortunateDvorakTypos

It's funny how things work: I replied to that svg thread on emacs-devel, and a guy replied afterwards, with the link to his website in his signature. I went to check the site out, saw that he linked to @rjkwon 🤘, and ended up reading this awesome post to which I can one hundred percent relate […]

At the coworking space, and @Tingyi’s been texting me pictures of E confidently lifting his head while on his tummy, with a huge smile on his face. Can’t believe I missed it!

A few months ago I wrote a levelling up plan for roughly the next five years.
