I need to prepare a presentation on some work I did in some previous technical work for a job interview. Because it was a while ago I'm writing about the experience as I remember it, and adding any questions as they come up. Gonna get AI to quiz me too. Anything else I can do to jog my memory?

I cancelled my preorder for a @frame.work desktop when it launched. It was max memory and 2gb, would’ve cost me £2400. Same config today is around £4000. Who knew how much I’d regret not keeping my preorder. 😢

I recently switched from Google workspace to @proton.me’s workspace. So far I’m not having too much trouble and I also gained a replacement for 1Password along the way. Lumo is still way behind the competition. Still I’m willing to accept compromises to support a European privacy focused non-profit.

Getting more and more frustrated with Apple and I hate using android. Are there any tablets that I can run Linux on (first party support). Really wanting to be able to customise my experience again in the face of addictive slot machine apps, AI, and notifications.

Seeking recommendations for my first record player. I’d like it to be wood with black features. And to sound good of course. But not interested in spending tons and tons of money yet.

This office which I’ve called my second home for almost two months now and all of 2023 is getting knocked down next month. There’s almost no one here anymore. It’s peaceful and now that I keep all the blinds open, beautiful in this late winter sun.

It’s pretty terrifying how many people aren’t able to detect AI voices in content. I certainly have been fooled once or twice but there’s always a tell in the end. I wonder how much content I’ve watched where I haven’t known.

I think come Jan/Feb I’ll be looking for full time work again, most suited for senior / TL roles in Ruby on Rails companies. Would be very up for a first leadership role/cto in the right small company. Keep me in mind y’all ☺️ Pic of last night’s dinner for catching your attention.

I just uninstalled Claude cli. It’s like a gambling slot machine and I pull the lever and sometimes get the code that I want. But now my nd brain is really struggling to get out there and code for myself, and endlessly asking a tool to make changes doesn’t feel rewarding at all.

Stop buying games for your steam library until you’re actually going to play them. You’re just depreciating your money over time.
