I’ll (try) to start a personal goal, and maybe even a trend: today I built, or #TIB for short.

Tomorrow I start my annual holiday leave, and of course I set an email auto response for it.

Fun fact: If someone quotes a post of yours in a way that is unwelcome (as is commonplace on Twitter/X) there is a tool to combat the unwanted attention. Simply click the three dot menu on the quote post & click "Detach quote". This removes your post from their quote post. Useful to know, do share!

I recently discovered Exo. It allows you to run AI clusters on your day-to-day machines by distributing the load on several machines at the same time.

Time to find a project and run it at home :D

One of the things I love about this country is the importance cities give to mobility and overall _walkability_.

Like, for example, Amsterdam has a plan to continue to reduce the space for cars in favor of cycling lanes, public transport, and sound pollution reduction.
Amsterdam op weg naar minder auto’s
De afgelopen jaren werkten we aan maatregelen om de auto een minder belangrijke plek in de stad te geven. Wat hebben we bereikt?

I'm building a Tech Radar for our team. I was looking forward to use @github.com's API to collect data from languages used, dependencies, and such.

There's no such endpoint. And now I need to manually review +100 repos :')

Over the last couple of weeks, I've considered hypothetical abstraction layers to support an RPC interface into an existing @fastapi.bsky.social app.

But it turns out someone already figured this out: Bali – github.com/bali-framewo...

I hope to finish a post I've been writing for the last few months. Well, if you consider "been giving a deal of thought to this for the last 9 months" writing.

At least I started the draft last Saturday night.

Esperar que AMLO, Lula, y Petro, tres presidentes que simpatizan abiertamente con el partido de Gobierno venezolano, asuman posiciones contrarias a la oficial es, sencillamente, pedirle peras al olmo.

Terminarán diciendo “esto tienen que resolverlo los venezolanos”, y ahí morirá
