thought about trying Ito, an open source voice to text tool using AI, but the two sites linked to their GitHub / social accounts are either down or talking about a completely different tool. wayback machine shows the expected content... odd
ito.ai and www.heyito.ai both worked at one point

crazy to feel like I might be good at my job, and even crazier to recognize that past jobs have been, in comparison, such a poor fit for me

Switched from Spotify to Tidal, and, among other things, I really, really like the Uploads playlists (tracks from lesser known artists)
Some are recommended to me, some are editorial picks. Either way, awesome exposure to new artists

Ah, an extra hour of sleep from daylight savings time, enthusiasm at the early voting station, the buzz of the NY marathon, the NY marathon app immediately crashing from high traffic. A perfect Sunday ☺️

US healthcare is obviously broken, but every area being broken in a different way, requiring people to relearn how to approach it, is infuriating
Buying glasses for the first time, why does the vision insurance provider just read like an ad for overpriced glasses????

Waiting on the final decisions for an eng hiring process I'm in, and, even if I don't get the job, it's so validating to know that I can actually do this
I moved into engineering a year ago, taught myself tons and found my own clients, made the financials work without full-time income. Ahhhh!!!!!!!

Loooove this. Spending time outside, documenting nature, improving publicly available info, oh my
project idea that would give me an excuse to take beautiful color photos of natural landscapes: replace subpar, missing, or low-quality wikipedia photos on pages about biomes and ecoregions and such

There's so much opportunity in automating boring, complex forms
I worked with a client to provide a TurboTax-esque experience around vehicle registration in Massachusetts, and they're shifting hours of repetitive, back-and-forth phone calls to just minutes a day reviewing form submissions 🎉

very excited about the engineering job I'm interviewing for right now, *very* nervous about the technical interview and my inexperience doing them
any favorite resources or advice on approaching them?

So! excited! about! everything happening in the ATProto community!!!
Extremely life affirming week at #ATProto_NYC. Some quick, scattered thoughts about where all this is heading. tl;dr: we are going to fix the internet, we're going to outcompete the freaks that we're up against, and we're going to do it together. 🧵

Nearly all of my web dev experience is in Typescript / React / Next.js, and trying out Django feels like a completely different flavor. Feels a bit naked, in the same way that Python always does to me

Installed a peg board for tool storage in my mom's craft room, and I think it actually looks good? Some rough edges, but came together in a few hours and a single trip to Lowe's so I'll call it a success
