Switching to Linux now looks like the least painful option.

When I feels down, running and working code can always cheer me up.
LLM can not and should not replace books, but it’s so good to recommend books to learn related topics, opposite options, demystifying complex and hard to grasp concepts which makes some books less intimidating. In that regard it’s so similar to what internet did for us, to make knowledge more accessible, sparking our curiosity.
I wish there is a privacy focused LLM in the cloud can be safely used.
I got a lot of great insights from the latest episode of Under the radar https://www.relay.fm/radar/315 #315: Self-Sufficient Apps
The beauty of “client heavy/simple/self-sufficient” software is not only freeing the indie developer from constantly baby siting the product, but also giving the customer the peace of mind that everything will keep working for a long time.
Thanks @marcoarment @_Davidsmith for the sharing!
Next time using https://www.getsinglefile.com/ to save a single HTML page and put them into Apple Notes.
Which preserves a much better well rendered self contained page. Which can be easily opened on iOS and mac OS.
Love it!
Do not lingering on the specific programming languages, focus on the systems.
One thing I learned this year is to always think in systems, not in programming language or frameworks. That system will carry you further.
I really love JavaScript (and its runtime ecosystem bun/node/deno), one of its curse is to easily think of problems as one off solution rather than a system. With the help of LLM, before diving into any detailed implementations, start with structure and modular design can leads to much better artifacts.

@collin 100% this. I love the fact you can select arbitrary portion of the shapes in the cavas and using Cmd + c to copy as an image. But lacking elementary level keyboard support really kills me.
I've always wanted a write-only mode of mastodon. So that I can just go posting something without any distractions of new posts from my timeline. Combining that plain text, I made this [mastodon-md](https://github.com/29decibel/mastodon-md). All you need is to write something in the `queue.md` file. Then it will be posted (or manually bun run post).
Plain text is the most beautiful thing. Now I am publishing a toot from queue.md.
Download all your mastodon posts in one markdown file, including attachments.
