I need to get rid of my Polar Loop again as it's been quite disappointing. So I am looking at alternatives: Strongest contenders: 1. Apple Watch Ultra 2. Fitbit Air 3. Garmin Centriq Anything else I should look out for? (For someone who used to use Whoop and the Oura ring doesn't work for me)

Yesterday, my WhatsApp account got restricted pending a review because I messaged two new numbers back to back (I am moving and had to text my new landlord and property managers) The whole day without WhatsApp made me realize how much I depend on it for so much of every day communication

My tolerance for not-knowing has collapsed. The gap between "I don't know" and "let me look it up" used to have space in it, and that space is where the creative part happened. On slowly losing my creativity: rathes.me/blog/en/losi...
How is it that there is still no small Apple Magic keyboard in black? There is one for the iPad but no the regular one for my Mac 😅
I still need to get my office sorted, this desk feels slightly chaotic regardless of how much I clean it up 🥲
I'm about to schedule my first salary payout as a business owner after a break of more than 10 years 😍 Aheenam UG -> Aheenam Ventures GmbH
My photography has gone from taking pictures of landscape to capturing our little ones life and not regretting it ❤️
I'm currently looking at vacuum and mop robots and am super impressed with how far they got since the last time I owned one which was the Xiaomi Mi Robot Vacuum (by Roborock) Does anyone here own one and if so, which one and do you recommend?
What do your .dotfiles look like these days? I haven't updated mine in ages (basically pre doing almost everything with AI era) 😅
After a phase of doing everything AI assisted and feeling drained every day, I’m back to intentionally slowing down by using pen and paper more often.
I have an old ASUS Zen AiO Windows PC that I had at my parents for years without using it and now I forgot the local user's password and can't get in anymore. What do you do again in these cases? 🙈
"This generation is the first to die with more memories of other people's lives than of their own" Heard this quote recently (on social media 🙈) and it kind of hit me. It's so damn true whether I want it or not
I’m curious, when was the last time you wrote code entirely by hand? Like an entire feature or a full bug fix?
A little thing that I did recently that helped me quite a lot: I don’t curate what I’m gonna listen anymore. Instead, I just put on Apple Music Radio and just listen to whatever comes. Just a little that that I don’t need to “orchestrate” but it helps and I hope I can add up onto it
It's been a while since I wrote my last blog post, I have so many ideas but I just don't get to write them 😅
Anyone else feeling like you are hitting the Claude usage limits with Opus 4.8 much quicker now that you used to before Fable was blocked?
Always sad if you submit something to the Apple App Store and it gets rejected by some automation just because of another keyword in your app description. Now I have to go through a lengthy process to get the app through review 😅
One of the best things about my long weekend trip to Oostende was the fact that I did not have to worry about work at all and could fully switch off knowing that my colleagues at @buffer.com got me covered
I’m this 🤏🏾 close to spin up my own little game for the World Cup 2026. A bit more interesting that just guessing the scores but still simple enough that players would be motivated enough to play through 104 matches
Just updated my phone number on WhatsApp and it resurfaced all the old WhatsApp groups brb just taking a walk down memory lane 🙈
I built this in one shot with Claude Code. No back-and-forth. No "actually, can you change that." No fixing what it got wrong on the third try. I just gave it this one single prompt and it delivered: scratchpad.aheenam.com
I just realized that half of 2026 is almost over 🤯 Where did all the time go this fast
Finally managed to uninstall Cursor and switch to Zed instead. So now my new setup is Ghostty + Claude Code + Zed (AI Disabled) + Whispr Flow Still debating if Vibe Island is something I actually need
With AI enabling non-engineers to write code and contribute to the product, what is the future of local dev environments? I don't want to send a designer or customer advocate pages of instructions to set up all the things. Are CDEs the answer? Is there anything new? Curious to hear your thoughts!
Took the advantage of the long weekend to have a decent BBQ
How long until the revert this ugly Spotify app icon? I’m just this far 🤏🏾 away from just uninstalling the app altogether
