My wife took older kiddo to a birthday party two hours away and I hung out with baby. Naturally, I watched horror movies. I just put baby in the crib and on the monitor is a balloon floating by their head. Scared me.

Boolean blindness can go suck an egg.

Is it weird that I want to take a week off and just code without distractions?

It's weird to me that all these tech execs are like, "Coding? Yeah, that is a solved problem". Have you seen the code being produced?

I got this funk patterns book awhile back and it is breaking my brain. Kicks on 4, no backbeats at all. Super fun.

I’m losing interest in extracurricular programming. Less computer, more family and music.

I find using a metronome to meditate works well for me. I was counting previously, but this also helps my drumming.

I have lots of drum plans for the next week. Lots of triplet shuffle stuff and three consecutive 1/16th kicks. Much fun will be had!

The amount of “holding it wrong” I do on the drums is absurd. In today’s episode, my throne was not tightened well enough.

I want #gleamlang at work again. I love boring Haskell (and prairie, I like folding over products).

The drums make me feel so dumb. I love it so much.

I’m doing a lot of slow practice in the kit right now. 40 bpm 1/8 note click, 1(+)a2… kick/hat or 1(ea)2… kick/ghost. Each for like 10 minutes. It’s such good practice. One day I’ll get to 1/4 click.

Yesterday, during my kids 2 am feed I tried meditating. I counted to 100, 13 times. We go again.

Unfortunately a job offer I had fell through due to head count elimination so I am currently on the market for a new job! If you need someone with 11+ years of Rust, backend, and distributed systems experience I am your guy. Contact Email: michael@ductile.systems. Boosting appreciated!

Looking for some help, spaghetti and meatballs is a great dish because there is a lot of well timed space in between for cleaning up and doing chores. I need more dishes like this. Hit me with some suggestions please

Curious, I’d love to “hand-craft” more code but I’m very time limited outside of work. I split work into “things I want to exist” and “things I want to do”. I bet you can guess which ones I use LLMs for. How do you manage your outside of work coding time?

At first I thought these were those locks which you put keys into. Then, I imagined all of them having the same combo but there’s only one key.

Oh no, I’m getting ideas to re-write pgo.

Put this together for all those #erlang bloggers out there github.com/chiroptical/...

The icon stack isn’t rectangular, we need two sponsors stat!

As a non-tenure stream faculty I made less than a junior engineer. The only possibility of getting a raise was going into administration.
