I have one of these. It's awesome but also sucks ass at the same time.

If I was a VP on Windows, first thing I'd do is acquire voidtools Everything and integrate it into the Start menu so users could... I dunno... actually find their files when they search for them.

TikTok owes me $69 but I don't have payouts configured but that's okay because they remind me I get to say "nice".

The Chrome Devtools Protocol is nifty. Today I wrote an interesting MCP tool that uses Puppeteer to launch headless Chrome, interacts with a webapp that triggers a download, reads the contents of the downloaded file, and returns the contents as the result of the tool call.

Forgot to set my alarm and accidentally slept until 10:30. 😬

After 5 years with the Herman Miller Embody, my review is: 5/10. Awkward and uncomfortable for someone who spends the majority of every day in front of the computer.

Tired: writing simple, deterministic tests. Wired: writing non-deterministic tests where API inputs are chosen by an LLM and then the choice of those inputs and the API's output are evaluated by another LLM to assert their accuracy, completeness, relevance, clarity, and reasoning.

Enabled lossless compression on my Spotify account today. Honestly, I can't really tell the difference between it and 320kbps.

Why is there a noticeable delay when pasting into a WSL terminal? Really annoying.

Today I learned that Godot is pronounced "Godot".

I'm sure sober me will question this, but if you're in the Redmond area and wanna get beers and chat with a fellow middle-aged nerd that struggles to find new people to be friends with, uhh... just DM me.

When the training docs use Fibonacci...

The "S" in MCP stands for "Oh Shit"

*puts header on a new architecture doc* Welp, time for a coffee break.

I wonder what I'd be capable of if I could get my addicted ass off the computer.

There are no bad covers of "Creep".

I love it when it takes 2.5 hours to go 36 miles. Hooray Washington highways.

My wife and I have been spending more and more weekends with her parents, who live about 3 hours away. My father-in-law is in in-home hospice care and has maybe 3-6 months. It's somber, but also good to see him. Don't smoke, kids. Ever.

Go take the State of JavaScript 2025 survey if you have a minute! survey.devographics.com/survey/state...

Smoke season is the worst in Washington.

I'm so late to the party, but today I installed Ollama and the OpenAI Agents SDK to test how well locally running models interact with an enterprise MCP server I'm building. It was slow as hell on my dev machine's cracker jack GPU (lol 2 GB VRAM) but it worked!

Today I created my first Jupyter Notebook and damn people live like this?

Just going on my hot girl walk.

If you work with the Web you should know how to capture a network trace but also how to read and undertand one. 99.9999% of the time when something isn't "working right" a network trace holds all the clues.

Cal Raleigh is a menace with HR 59 and 60 with his parents in attendance. How can you not be romantic about baseball?

Back to back jacks for Cal and Julio. Refuse to lose.

I've already started my Christmas shopping. So much more relaxing to spread it out over a few months than rushing in December.

"You are required to take this 7-hr online training to learn to use tools you have never and will never use in your life ever. Enjoy getting nothing done today!"

Welp.

What kind of hero?!

Pretty bummed the rapture didn't happen today.

Has anyone ever met someone who has the same first and last name as you? Seems like it shouldn't be too rare but then I remember I can count on one hand the number of other Andy's I've ever met.

These spam texts are out of control.

Subtly downgrade a band Boastful Mouse

Watching interviews of people who attended the CK memorial makes me want to jump off a bridge. Uneducated and ignorant people who believe these bronze age myths are going to be the death of America. Their brains are broken.

Strike 4 to Altuve.

Cal Raleigh HR 58 get double fucked Astros

JP Crawford grand slam get fucked Astros.

My neighborhood's sounds >

How come on Slack, each channel is full of threads, one for each topic/question, but on Discord, each channel is like an IRC stream of consciousness? How does anyone find anything?

Victor Robles holy shit.

Woke up a bit early today and instead of rotting on my phone I went for a walk and I found two baseballs in the ditch. 🤷‍♂️

Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor released 1.0 yesterday and I already have 522 hours played.

Seeing messages like "Andy is a BEAST" and "Andy is like 6 devs" in the chat of conference calls with my bosses in it always feels good. Also, pay me more.

a good arbiter of how close we are to bad hybrid regime shit is if the political comedy shows start getting pulled for whatever reason

Love how the ROOT Sports app crashes every time my phone roams from one AP to another in my house.

Me, eating a giant bowl of cereal immediately before going to bed: "Surely this time I won't be up half the night with indigestion."

I can't even imagine gifting my son a gun. Like, it's not even in the realm of possibilities. Get your dumbass kid a book on how to not shoot people in the fucking neck jfc.

How do we get back to when things felt "normal"? When even _was_ "normal"? Was it September 10th, 2001? Was it January 19th, 2017? Was it February 2020? Why does it feel like reality itself is spiraling?

I've been slacking on trimming the moustache because when the M's make the playoffs you know it's trash stache time.
