probably my most deeply-held belief: it is not possible for a slide deck to be both (1) a good presentation aide; and (2) a standalone document that can be read and understood in isolation.

I wanted to give an update on the Balatro 1.1 release date:

localthunk.com/blog/im-slow

TL;DR is that it will not be coming out in 2025, it is still coming out for sure, and I'm sorry. The new timeline is "it's done when it's done"

Please read the blog post for more details

I wrote something small to celebrate an entire decade since my first blog post. So much of my life has changed since then, and I still have so many ideas for more I can do, but it's nice to just sit and reflect on ten years.

I won a $10 steam gift card. Do I get Balatro for PC so I can play multiplayer mods, or are there other low budget, high quality games I should look into? Thinking in the $10-20 range.

AI was supposed to make us more efficient.

Instead, it’s fragmenting our workflows, bloating our calendars, and burning out high performers.

I wrote about the false promise of AI productivity and why we’re actually working harder than ever:

AI promised efficiency. Instead, it’s making us work harder.
AI tools were supposed to free up our time—but they’re increasing our cognitive load and making us less productive. Here’s what’s really happening (and how to use them without burning out).

New pet peeve is when I ask someone a nuanced question and they respond "Here's what GPT said"

I already asked GPT, if it had a good answer I wouldn't have asked you!

Gonna need to develop social protocols around this
