This is the last 30 days on ~$200 of subscriptions. The amount of subsidization is unbelievable. This won't last forever. Use it or lose it.

My version of token anxiety: right now someone's subsidizing my ability to explore ideas at nearly zero cost. I hit Claude Max limits multiple times a day. That pricing is not sustainable long-term. Ideas I'm not acting on now get a lot more expensive later.

I wrote about fifteen Ruby takes on a stepped-worker DSL: razorjack.net/fifteen-ruby-t…
Started as a DSL design rabbit hole. Ended as a small archaeological dig into continuations (callcc).

When in doubt, lean harder on Rails than you remember you can. Let's call it Railsmaxxing. I blogged about it with examples: razorjack.net/railsmaxxing/

Imagine centering your culture and identity around the consumption of luxury gadgets made by a specific multinational corporation.
Used to be that naive, but hey, we all grow up eventually.

There are two possible explanations:
1. Apple is grossly incompetent in UI design.
2. Apple is outright hostile toward their customers.
You know "dark patterns", right? There's nothing that could possibly justify their recent actions.
It takes 15 clicks to install an app from the web using the newly proposed Apple flow. Here's the journey: 🧵1/5

Annual reminder:
“You do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems.” – James Clear
There’s a reason why new year’s resolutions don’t work. They focus on outcomes. Don’t do it. Focus on forming the right habits, and the habits will get you there.

My second day with M1 Pro MBP:
1. Two kernel panics already.
2. The desktop beachballed for 20-30 seconds when I took a screenshot.
3. Spotlight indexed a fresh, almost empty, machine in 1.5 WEEKS.
4. 40mins to install Xcode.
5. 1.5h to install dev packages via homebrew.
(The same set of development packages would require about 2 minutes to install on Fedora or Ubuntu)

I learned about the Facebook outage only just now, from a real-life person who wasn’t bothered about it. This is what I call a good life.

Aside from iOS15-as-literal-spyware controversy, there's a momentum-based perception of Apple being a maker of premium hardware+software for computing enthusiasts. This statement is no longer valid.

And regardless of hardware, Unix workflows are SLOW on macOS. Simple things like `brew reinstall wget` take 3 - 5 seconds (!) on a 4.2 GHz CPU. Compare it to apt, dnf, pacman. Also, Ruby is much slower on macOS.
I just want an upgradable, repairable Unix workstation with 16-core/32-thread CPU, 64 GB RAM, and a good GPU. Mac Pro with similar specs would cost literally $10,000. It would be foolish to spend this much.
Their computer OS is being dumbed down to the lowest common denominator. It's more and more closed and iOS-ified. Their computers are slow (everything except Mac Pro) or prohibitively expensive (Mac Pro).
