With Ghotty (ghostty.org) finally releasing, I can now have separate themes for both light and dark mode. But this is also a problem now since my shell and neovim do not support changing theme based on system theme which was fine up until now as all three were using the same theme.

This is the reason I decided to pay for a search engine and use @kagi.com. There was an immediate improvement in my productivity post moving to Kagi. Now the only time I find myself back on Google search is whenever I need to use Maps

Started Advent of Code. Going to use it for learning Go, which was a language I’ve been meaning to learn. This is as good as an opportunity to do that.

Its been about 2 years since ChatGPT became mainstream. It made writing code easier for a lot of folks, but also made writing good code that much harder. I reckon that the amount of tech debt racked up by using ChatGPT in production code would have been greater than debt incurred without it.

I’ve frequently read this advice of striving to be 1% better everyday. But the effort put into being 1% better today, would not be equal to the effort required tomorrow or even years later. This is how compounding works.

Incase someone’s using clickhouse with zookeeper in production and frequently running out of disk space, one thing to check would be the `system.zookeeper_log` table. It has the TTL set to 30 days by default, which might not be usefully for your use case.

Just finished 100 Days of SwiftUI, an amazing course by @twostraws.bsky.social on learning Swift and SwiftUI by means of doing 19 projects in the same time frame. Although it took me much longer than 100 days, about an year to be honest. www.hackingwithswift.com/100/swiftui
