Being a realist keeps you grounded and honest with yourself. Blind optimism can trap you in a bubble of comforting narratives and illusions. The realist confronts reality and does the work; the blind optimist waits for external circumstances to inspire and motivate them to act.

There’s something really special about using Siri AI just for learning and curiosity. It’s an incredible tool that I wish my younger self had access to.

My dad will be giving both @vivaldi.com and @qwant.bsky.social a try!

It’s very apparent in this video that I do not like heights, especially from the 49th floor of the tallest skyscraper in British Columbia, Canada. youtu.be/QrHEDQOlOuw

While reading about @ecb.europa.eu President @lagarde.ecb.europa.eu today, I discovered she is a teetotal vegetarian. Unfamiliar with the term, I consulted Siri AI and realised that this precise descriptor perfectly characterises my own lifestyle—abstaining from both meat and alcohol.

With Siri AI, many iPhone users will no longer have a need to pay for ChatGPT.

Good timing to ask this question, as @automattic.com has put @wordpress.org founder @ma.tt on a paid leave of absence: www.404media.co/wordpress-au... And to answer my own question: No, I haven't. Been using WordPress since 2009, with great success, with no plans to stop.

I give Codex the choice of using Chrome DevTools MCP or the Safari MCP server, and lately it's choosing Safari more often than Chrome. That's interesting.

Have you vibe coded yourself away from WordPress yet?

Do you still blog?

I'm hitting Codex usage limits very quickly on my ChatGPT Pro 20x plan. What's the experience like with Claude Code on the Max plan?

I have 11 years of Apple Music Replays.

I’m on a generational run with Codex. There’s never been a better time to code than right now.

I really need Containers. It would be nice if @vivaldi.com Workspaces could act as such.

The @vivaldi.com browser shows me how late I went to bed, and how little sleep I got today. No, I was not doomscrolling. I was working overtime on a web app project!

Do you listen to music or podcasts while vibe coding?

It’s deep work in the early mornings that makes the biggest difference in your project’s progress.

I just finished a 20-hour, 7-minute fast. I do these almost daily, for a minimum of 16 hours.

I replaced my 2019 Intel MacBook Pro with the 2025 M4 MacBook Air last year. It’s a beautiful piece of hardware.

I dusted off my 2019 MacBook Pro. Will prep it soon for installing Omarchy.

I highly recommend reading Rework to anyone considering launching a digital startup. I’ve read it twice. Great book!

This is a short clip I recorded in November 2018 with my iPhone XS Max at the time, at Alouette Lake, when I was living in Maple Ridge, British Columbia, Canada. I visited this beautiful location often to manifest the future I am living today.

Linux is buzzing right now, partly because of Omarchy by DHH, and partly because many PC users are tired of Windows. Been there, done that—I left Windows for Macintosh in 2008. I still like the Mac, but I’m curious… if not Omarchy, which distro do most Linux users recommend?

Since 2008, the default web browser on my Macintosh computers has been Safari.

I have so much gratitude for @wordpress.org.

I use the iPhone 16 Pro Max, and increasingly think my next smartphone will be a foldable. It looks like the form factor that will finally let me code on the go. The Samsung Z Fold 8 and Oppo Find N6 are both pulling me in that direction. Let’s see what Apple offers next month.

We use four web analytics tools across our @solespire.com sites. Each gets something right, yet each is needed to fully understand different data points. That’s problematic. Google Analytics is the worst of all. It does a lot, but somehow makes everything harder than it needs to be.

These never stopped being great. Apple EarPods play Apple Music in true lossless quality, through the 3.5mm headphone jack, while AirPods, via Bluetooth, do not. That’s a plus, but the bigger positive is that on my iMac I can now keep Bluetooth turned off.
