I'm going to pause posting on X/Twitter for the time being. Don't know when/if I'll be back, but not deleting the account. Mean while, I'm on masto, bsky, sub stack notes and LinkedIn for all the microblogging. (links in second tweet)

Good designers can do more than UI. Then can make the doc beautiful, the website nice, and even assist the marketing team. Don't make them redo the UI 10 times, it's terrible for the user. I have when Ubuntu is changing UI stuff once again, but sleep is still unsolved.

I actually have a friend that makes similar jokes, faces and laughs. I like it so much.

Mystic Quest will never be as good as Silicon Valley, but it's a decent methadone for my empty soul. It has fun characters, situations I've seen play out for real, and everyone gets to be at the bottom of the joke, not just one tribe.

People are figuring out that they have been behaving with LLM like customers have been behaving with them all along and that they have to spend time explaining things correctly. How the tables have turned.

And this is why I hate DSL.

I don’t know if life finds a way, but today we are going to find a way to compile the first stable version of Python released 31 years ago and play with it. Will it be productive? No. But will it be useful? Also no. Link in the next tweet bellow.

I thought type checking would be added to ruff because it's developed in the ruff repo, but I just compiled it this morning (2 minutes on my machine), and for now, they have a separate red-knot executable. This is confirmed by Waygood: bsky.app/profile/alexwaygood…
