Scarry Times
Third of four daughters, raised in a rural area. Finally cleaning out the filing cabinet and loading it to the cloud.

"Gardening"
I've had this term knocking around in my head for some years, in relation to caring for a codebase. Finally put some words together in a blog to capture how I feel about it.

Another day, another `mise use` that saved my butt. Fewer tools have entered my workflow as quickly as this one did some years back, and I rarely think about the fact that I'm using it 99% of the time.

This is a fun lil Liquid Glass animation quirk on iOS 26. It looks like the labels on each tab are all out of wack. The text changes, and labels animation from left-to-right in an odd way!

I added this lil alias to my dotfiles last week, paired with a one-liner in ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md about consulting the `AdditionalDocumentation` directory:
`alias xcclaude='claude --add-dir "$(xcode-select -p)/../PlugIns/IDEIntelligenceChat.framework/Versions/A/Resources/AdditionalDocumentation"'`
`alias xcclaude='claude --add-dir "$(xcode-select -p)/../PlugIns/IDEIntelligenceChat.framework/Versions/A/Resources/AdditionalDocumentation"'`

Claude Code's terminal UX is impressively tidy. The little animations are so delightful, and thought process is easy to comprehend. The `/`, `#`, and `>` prefixes are natural, with the lil descriptions below making them stick in your brain too. What a delight!

I've been needing to run `sudo killall bluetoothd` once a week since upgrading to Tahoe to fix the stuttering in my AirPods and my mouse movements. 🫠

Particle's Liquid Glass update is now out! I had a lot of fun adapting what's already a beautiful app to Apple's new design. So many of our components were natural fits for glass containers, like adopting `tabViewBottomAccessory` for our podcast playback

TIL a button in a `tabViewBottomAccessory` with a `buttonStyle` applied to it will cause AttributeGraph to cycle, so an `onTapGesture` it is!

I might get the iPhone Air? The upgrade from the 16 Pro to the 17 Pro seems so incremental, so maybe I try out a year of New Phone™ to see how it is.

I think the funniest thing that best describes the iPhone 17 Pro is that Apple doesn't even let you compare it against the iPhone 16 Pro. It... would not look that impressive.

hey! the season is back tomorrow, and so do I. this year, as promised, the "mirror" is being dropped from "mirror bot" in an attempt to make it completely independent of twitter. the idea is to have fewer bugs and, specially, fewer delays with the results
