New from me:
Until recently, the gap between comfortably-off and just-getting-started could plausibly be crossed in a decade or two of hard work.
Growth in asset prices means that’s no longer true.

When it comes to AI agents / AI tooling + coding, I hear an awful lot of talk about:
Efficiency
Iteration speed / PR output rate / lines of codes produced
I hear zero mentions about:
Quality
Customer obsession
This will bite back, and it probably already is...

This absurd "one-liner" will show you the name of the command running on each port on MacOS, which is something I need to do constantly so leaving it here:
```
sudo lsof -iTCP -sTCP:LISTEN -n -P | awk 'NR>1 {print $9, $1, $2}' | sed 's/.*://' | while read port process pid; do echo "Port $port: $(ps -p $pid -o command= | sed 's/^-//') (PID: $pid)"; done | sort -n
```

Apple: "We present Ferret-UI, the first MLLM designed to execute precise referring and grounding tasks specific to UI screens, while adeptly interpreting and acting upon open-ended language instructions."

Backlogs, like all long lists, collect dust, grow stale, and become obligations rather than opportunities.
We don’t do backlogs. I don’t recommend you do either.
You know the important stuff to work on. If you forget, it probably wasn’t worth remembering.
Übersicht + ChatGTP! Maybe this is going somewhere 🤔

The Staff Engineer's Path's explanation of this role is: an engineer empowered by upper management to act meta-rationally: that is, to stand outside and above rational systems, and to intervene based on nebulous context and purpose.

Reading "The Art of Action". Interesting how the mechanisms that allow for autonomy - what they call "directives" - are really similar to packages/pitches in Shape Up.
It is not a detailed plan or a list of tickets, but also not just a plain goal or problem statement.

What if I will tell you how we could solve fit-to-width text with pure CSS without any hardcoded parameters? Curiously, scroll-driven animations will allow us to do just that!
I wrote a new article where I continue exploring the experimental implementations of the latest specs.

Container queries + cqw are really handy for making text scale to a container. codepen.io/jaffathecake/pen/…

What are some tools you can't live without? Here are a few I use:
1. Bpytop: A better version of the Linux `top` command

Well that's unexpected. Omicron appears to have evolved from an old strain of the virus, rather than any of the currently dominant variants.
And it must have done so somewhere out of sight from any of the existing genomic monitoring efforts.
