Read: Buckeye by Patrick Ryan ★★★★ 📚 Say, forever. What is it about time that confounds us? We spend it. We save it. We while it away. We waste it. We kill it. We complain about not having enough of it, or about having too much of it on our hands. We regret what we've […]

Je ne comprends pas pourquoi nous ne sommes pas beaucoup plus indignés par ceci.
La méthode de contournement de Google pour installer d'autres applications est un moyen de dissuasion, pas une méthode de secours. 9 étapes et une attente de 24 heures pour des logiciels que vous possédez ? Non merci.
Adding Thousands of Lines to Your Codebase Isn't Impressive. It's Actually Bad.
Vibe coders brag about adding thousands of lines of code with AI, but measuring productivity by lines of code is like measuring aircraft progress by weight. Research shows AI-generated code has higher duplication, lower reuse, and can run up to 446x slower. Neither max lines nor min lines is the poin. Code is what you write after you've found something that needs it.

Publishing from Obsidian
Wired up a script that rsyncs markdown out of my taude.xyz Blog vault folder straight into the Hugo repo’s content directory, then builds and pushes. Turns out Hugo slugifies filenames automatically, so Obsidian’s spaces-and-caps note titles turn into clean URLs for free.

Working on OPML updates
Returning to our previously scheduled programming – I discovered recently that some services I used for OPML rendering are no longer running. My first change was to my post on the 2020 Electoral Count liveblog to add a new pointer (see the blog here). More news later!

Hello, TIL
Short, quick notes on things I learn day to day go here.
Welcome back, Taude.
I can’t believe it’s been about 14 years since I was heavily involved in blogging and writing. I think the energy it takes being a manager as a natural introvert took away a lot of extracurricular activities like maintaining a blog, writing a lot of software after work, etc. But this new world of assisted-AI really changes that.
I have so many ideas, that I’m now able to experiment with. I was always first a product builder and engineer second. With AI, I’m able to build tools, experiment, publish summaries and findings, and all that good mundane activity that AI simplifies, all while managing teams and all dealing with all the people/org/cross-team collaboration the job entails.
