How have I lived this many years of my life (MANY of them in the nerd realm) and I only recently discovered ssh-copy-id? Makes me wonder what other magic incantations are out there…

The one saving grace of being an inside-kid nerd in the American south in the summer is, “oops, I forgot to go outside today” can be easily explained away by “…because wow, it was just TOO HOT”

for some reason “i have a fully functional chatbot running on my computer” became a lot more real when I found out “oh yeah, it also speaks like…every languge”

That moment when you think “wow, I could go for another cup of coffee” and in fact, you haven’t finished your coffee your travel mug (so it’s still hot). It’s the little things, y’know?

I have been leaning into the combination of laptop and comfy chair for writing lately, and that has been having some positive impacts. I think just the context switch from work to writing helps too.

“Never meet your heroes” generally doesn’t apply when your heroes are just random nerds from the internet who are unassuming yet brilliant people

Just found a to-do item I don’t remember adding to my journal that says “cheeseburger robot”. So yeah, I’d say I have my priorities straight.

Just held a 3rd “AI Tooling for HW/SW” meeting. I don’t think I have ever gone wrong gathering a bunch of fun, smart, and nerdy people into a room (online or IRL) and seeing what happens.
