I keep seeing this, and it's so fucking annoying. I am asking humans because I want HUMAN INPUT

First real “jam session” with my son - him bashing away on the piano, me on the drums. I could make this a regular activity with him. I would like that.

code and tests aren't the moat. they never were. no need for agents to copy a project. forking was always an option. the moat of an oss project is its community, its governance, and its ecosystem connections. agents will never be able to replicate that. don't hide. let's build in the open, together

Funny to think a very possible outcome for FOSS soon is to put all their test suites into closed source projects so AI can’t copy & paste and build a clone easily.

Best handheld of all time fight me

Hey look at that, got vim working with atpcli for posting messages!

Sunny warm weather unlocks the infinite optimism glitch in me.

Built my first real atproto app. That was insanely easy 🤯

Something so nice and pure reading bsky from the CLI, without images. Just text. (I can shift+click to individual posts when I need to)

Political people love to debate who the worst modern PM in modern times was but it's unquestionably Cameron. 10 years ago this week he gambled the prosperity and fragile unity of the UK on a referendum on an issue that most people didn't even understand to placate back benchers and fucked us all.

I absolutely do not like the whole push towards automating the entire write/review code loop. One of the big advantages of deliberately inserting yourself into the process is that it gives the generated code more time to sink into your brain

Hello from atpcli! Now with proper handling!?@WQ$£W$£

Hello from atpcli

Wanted to learn atproto, built a simple python cli tool for browsing your bsky feed: github.com/phalt/atpcli Definitely not feature complete, and will be a low effort support from me, but a nice way of browsing bksy none the less. Might write my own gist tool for atproto at some point.

I think I’m gonna pick “whatever Damon Albarn wears” as my style when I get to 40.

Oh, the grand old duke of york He ██████████████████ He ██████████████████ And he ██████████████████

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the last time we arrested a royal, we ended up chopping off his head?

I feel normal today. I’ve been sick with either sinusitis or terrible flu since the ~20th January. Most of 2026 I’ve spent sick. Bleh. Hoping for a better spring and summer.

Dunno why I thought about this but I wonder how the genealogy / research field is handling AI. Can it shortcut finding out links between ancestors? (Inb4 it hallucinates your relationship to Alexander the Great)

lol this is gonna burst so fucking hard

Build more tooling that allows LLMs to do things reliably, deterministically, and less computationally expansive.

I’m left handed but decided to learn drums right handed so I didn’t have to mirror everything I learn. It’s taken me about 6 months for my mind to automatically tap along with my right foot and hand without conscious effort. I feel fully ambidextrous out now!

I love that my son wakes up and asks do In Rainbows (he just says “the rainbow album”) by Radiohead, and goes and gets the record out. I’m here for it son.

Finally kicking Sinusitus’s butt and feeling like I’m a real human again.

Last year I busted my knee following a training plan and pushing myself because I felt like I "must be able to do the easy mode, right?". Turns out the training plans were a bit too aggressive. Thanks - it's taken me nearly a year to recover, still can't run reliably. www.wsj.com/tech/persona...

I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

I just think they're neat

Pro tip put your pokéwalker in the same pocket as the kick drum and when you practice drums you walk your Pokémon.

This time of the year any time there is a sliver of sunlight I stand in it and just bask 🤤

Not sure why but my aesthetic has definitely settled on “cute ghibli anime” and also “hard core Elden ring horror” and also “neon af grim cyberpunk”. I can eat up art and content for any of those all day.

it’s genuinely reassuring to me that this is the most miserable and paranoid person in the entire world

Ah man fuck this flu.

When you write a GitHub issue and it’s 95% code explaining the bug and the fix…just write a pull request?

Going to spend some time bringing pokeapi into 2026: adding uv, ruff, ty. Organising all the tests better, increasing code coverage. Upgrading Django etc. I want pokeapi to last at least another 20 years.

Do NOT get this cold

Don’t get this flu

Andddd it’s already time for my hyper focus to switch. Back into Pokemon I go. This time - Soul Silver! I somehow have a 45 minute save with a Gastly on it, and lots of pokewalker activity. So I’m going to use Gastly/Gengar as my main partner Pokemon.

More contributions coming in fast for Clientele. Version 1.11.0 introduces: - GraphQL support - Loads of testing tools for easy http mocking - Built-in http retries Clientele genuinely feels like a fully featured framework for client integration now. 😍 clientele.dev

“How do you know the type and what level every single pokemon evolves at”? - my partner, as we’re playing Pokemon Sword with the family.

The problem of wanting to play Pokemon Platinum again but my only copy has a 100% complete, full Pokédex save.

I have slept on these books. Man, they’re so good!

Imagine seeing all that and being like “yeah I’ll still go to the USA for my holiday / conference this year lol”

Parenthood is the conversion of free time into purpose. I say this both positively and with exhaustion.
