insanely underrated that after 10y I can still open a rails codebase and know where everything is. full db schema all routes controllers models all the generators and migration scripts still work.

I sparred 12 full rounds yesterday on oculus quest 2. incredibly cathartic experience, emotional man. I quit sparring after I had a concussion 7y ago but I still train hard cause I love the sport, now I can fight again. Thrill of the fight 2 added networked multiplayer in their latest beta, it’s really good, and most of the people playing are fighters, you can tell by their movements. Incredible.

we need to study why counting to 5 completely disarms a kid when nothing else works. I’ve reproduced this under extreme conditions and many negotiation strategies.

i know we all gave up on voice thanks to a decade of siri but it can be great ux for ex: compare the cognitive load using self checkout vs ordering from a human the latter is far easier – declarative and direct, zero eye hand coordination or ui to understand “double cheese with fries; pay with card” <— clean

bun will include a redis module. jarred keeps making pragmatic & contrarian choices for a runtime. js eco is weird, we have fat runtimes and thin frameworks https://x.com/jarredsumner/status/1908849253440795034

def some “software content creator” opportunities out there. short experiments or viral apps using new apis, make all code open source and explained. kinda like dev rel but less demo and more short experiences with viral mechanics and not stuck with one company’s apis. Less “talking about software” like theo or prime gen and more building small, complete artifacts you can play with. lots of ways to monetize: using sponsored apis in an app, ads, direct thru any app built, etc at worst you build distro and public good will and recognition to get any gig.

Damn shame openai couldn’t do the ico sam wanted to. All things equal could have been one of the defining catalysts for crypto. Aligns well with their original mission and silver lining for the masses getting disrupted. Instead they have a 300b private eval.
