Switched from an iPhone 15 Pro to S25 Ultra today. I've missed Android a lot. The battery life on the 15 Pro is the worst of any smartphone I've ever owned by far and something about the keyboard and aggressive autocorrect doesn't get along with me. S25 Ultra has been a big improvement so far.

Cloud engineer living the island life in Okinawa. Recently started getting into Typescript. If you're in Okinawa too, let's hang out!
Preparing to move back to the US. I have mixed feelings about it. I already own a house there and I do kind of miss it, but I like my life in Okinawa. I hate the constant noise here though. Also, long term options for my kids may be better in the US despite the 🍊💩 making a mess of things.
Started using ChatGPT to help with an AWS CDK project. I'm really impressed! After some hiccups and me providing some guidance (mostly telling it to verify suggestions against documentation when making assumptions), it's been really solid! Def not worried about it replacing my job though lol.
I've had my home PC hooked up to my TV in the living room for the past month or so because I felt too isolated from the rest of my family when I was playing a game or something. After getting frustrated with Windows, I installed Bazzite today. I'm really impressed! The experience is so much better.
One cool thing about Okinawa compared to mainland Japan is that we have officially sanctioned train parties 🎉
Working at Kaichu Doro today. I can’t stand being inside all day anymore.
Twitter/X is an absolute cesspool these days. Any time I feel the urge to move back to the US, I just take a look at Twitter to remind myself "yeah, I don't want to be anywhere near these people".
