Coding agents are amazing - sure. I’m a fan and heavy user of them too, especially CLI agents. BUT - the existing coding subscriptions heavily discount token usage, to the point that most users are unaware of just how many tokens they are actually burning at any given moment to run their agents. This blissful ignorance is perfectly fine as long as the discounsts continue; the pain of running the agents aren’t being felt by the e..

The Great Alone was an emotional rollercoaster. A mother-daughter novel and a modern Romeo and Juliet love story wrapped up in a beautifully described setting. Hannah makes Alaska feel like another planet compared to the Lower 48. The portrayals of nature reminded me most of Kim Stanley Robinson in Red Mars , which is one of my favorite books of all time. There were slower parts, and parts where I was frustrated by how much the protagon..

Most developers never see the 11 pack releases we shipped in the last 14 months as pack CLI maintainers. That’s actually a good sign—it means the infrastructure just works. When a critical vulnerability emerges requiring an immediate upgrade, the fix is shipped within days. Here’s what most developers don’t see: that same security patch now […] The post Behind the Scenes: How Maintaining Cloud Native Buildpacks Powers Platforms Like Hero..

EventBridge is the most underused AWS service. I’ll die on that hill. Teams will build these elaborate Rube Goldberg machines out of SNS topics, SQS queues, and Lambda functions stitched together with duct tape and prayers, when EventBridge would’ve given them a cleaner architecture in a fraction of the time. I know this because I was one of those teams. About two years ago I inherited a system where a single order placement triggered a c..

I fixed the graphics drivers on my laptop and Darktable—for the unaware, an extremely solid OSS photo editing software—went from essentially unusable to decently fast. After years of anticipation, I finally plugged my big hard drive into my little server and set up a network share (and backups!). I consolidated all my various photo libraries that were previously strewn across four portable HDDs and SSDs in various degrees of duplication int....

I’ve been a happy Windows user for most of my life, but last year I grew tired of the split between Windows proper and the WSL. It started getting in the way and, in the spirit of fixing my tools, I thought to myself: maybe the time is ripe to make the switch and commit to a full Linux system. The idea was attractive, but I wanted to be careful. Having a machine that Just Works™ is important to me, and I feared a Linux setup could lead down..

I’ve written a lot about Termux in the past , and since then, have continued to refine workflows around Android terminals, trying to push it to extremes. With extra software, or accessories, how light can you go without a real computer, while retaining a good development environment? In this post, I want to show how far a tiny bit of hardware and software together have pushed my “travel mindset”, while preserving a good amount of comfort..

I quite liked this metaphoric view of the morning ritual from Herbert Lui: A good morning ritual needs to be flexible enough to adapt to these shifts. In order to do this, treat it like an opening chess move. On your ideal mornings, you’re going first. You get to decide which move to take. An opening move may be to make your usual breakfast, and doing something creative before you handle your professional or personal commitments.

For one of my cosmology course assignments I had to pick either the ontological or a version of the cosmological argument for the existence of God, discuss what I think is its weakest point, and attempt to strengthen it. I then presented a version of my answer as part of a seminar, together with a partner who answered a different but ultmimately related question related to cosmology and religion.

It’s mid-March and the weather has been vacillating between balmy sweater weather and the frozen tundra that need hollowed out tauntauns to stay warm. I’ve chosen to sequester myself indoors until some semblance of summer remains with relative consistency. Estate I’ve been using some of that time to review all things financial. With both my kids now in adulthood, I’ve been reviewing my estate plans. Welcome to my life. My bank, as you....

I have been using trackballs instead of mice for almost 18 years now. Last year, I upgraded to a Kensington SlimBlade Pro EQ Trackball from my trusty Kensington Expert Mouse Wireless Trackball . SKU: K72084NA Size : This trackball is smaller, slimmer and lighter than my previous trackball. Wireless : Just like my previous trackball, this one supports using Bluetooth and also using a wireless 2.4GHz Nano receiver. It does ..
