Cache it till you make it.
The early bird caches the worm.
It don’t mean a thing if it ain’t got caching.
Cache me if you can.
Cache Royale.
Big Beautiful Cache.
Ok, I’ll stop it now.

My Mac ran out of disk space (1 TB). Which felt … a bit weird and unexpected. So I opened up GrandPerspective to have a look…
Oh wait, what’s that?

317G?!? 😅
That’s a lot of cache!
Hear me out: an Aesop Rock lyrics bot. 😊

Looks like industry best practices actually work. (Sorry for using my platform to ruin anyone’s day. 🥰) 🍋



aaaaaaaaaa! There it is!
My friend @koeberlin’s brand new typeface Tausend is out. So, so good … 😍
Oh wow! Beyerdynamic is being acquired by a Chinese company called Cosonic. Feels very AKG-esque, but of course, “nothing will change.”
☕️ I can drink coffee all day, also in the evening, and fall asleep without any problems (although my sleep quality might suffer).
🧉 But give me a cup of mate, and I’ll be wide awake until 3 am. 🪩🕺

Let’s just for a second – purely hypothetical, of course – suppose there was a podcast where some random guy talks to people from the web community about their personal websites and what they’re curious and passionate about.
Who would you love to see as a guest? 🤔
I have no clue how to play in a band, how to record and track, let alone mix a track. But I love music and I could listen forever to Rick Beato interviewing Eric Valentine about every little detail of his productions – this guy really knows and loves his stuff! Incredible! 😮 #music #audioengineering
“Head of Algorithms”
What a job title. 🧙✨😁
And no, it’s not Figma Sites. 😁
That’s Squarespace.

Wow, that body is …… classy?! 😅 #bestpractices

That escalated quickly. ☺️
