Today was by far the most exhausting day. I basically was in a call for maybe 90% of the entire day. The good part is that there is some form of progress from every call, they are just in different topics.

I am becoming a bit too mind scattered, because I am trying to finish multiple things at work but also then thus spills over to life by juggling different books, moods and music genres throughout the day...

I just had a Sam Altman moment, I found out that a Portuguese translation of Über die Dummheit by Musil, that I bought in Portugal and is from May of this year isn't in Goodreads. So my Altman moment is that "I just pulled back the curtain to see where the frontier of digital book inventory is"

Taking The Extinction of Irene Ray by Jennifer Croft and the Strugatsky brothers The Snail on the Slope on my trip to Sweden. Both look fascinating. (A fair number of S-bro novels are too talky/ dialogue driven for me, but this one seems more immersive.)

The US needs to revamo their anthem, finishing it with "land of the free" is just hypocritical at this point.

Some engineers write code. The rare ones write code and connect teams, unblock people, align efforts, and make everyone move faster. Those are your real 10x engineers.

I'm sorry but this is insane, the police really act like they are fighting a horrible enemy and not the people they swore to protect.

@kentbeck.com is there a Roadmap for the following material after "Tidy First?" Don't want to add any pressure just curious if it will happen, I'm currently starting to read that one now and loving the idea of follow ups.

tldr: FB/IG app ran a local socket on their Android app, and their web tracking pixels used it to report back. This didn't just get built out of nowhere. Lots of people at Meta probably wrote a PRD, eng design docs, and sat in meetings to discuss developing this tracking method.

I am testing out a Mac Mini (2018), pre-M1 era. And overall still impressed by it. Another thing I kind of figured out is that newer Apple trackpad interfaces come with newer macOS versions. Long story short, with macOS 14 my USB-C Trackpad wasn't recognised.

Amusing outcome of "vibe coding" wave with AI (by people who have not written software professionally before) Seeing the speedrun of why software development REALLY is hard (it was never about writing code - even though most non-dev folks assumed it must have been!)
