Take care of yourself. Eat a high protein meal, drink a big glass of water, get enough sleep, charge your phone away from your bed, and take a walk outside if you can. One thing at a time. I know how hard you're trying. I am so proud of you.

here's the thing about playing 3d chess: you don't actually have to be very good at it to impress people.

all you have to do is try... *once*.

and then boom -> "omg! they're playing three-dimensional chess!"

i made a test site to test testing tools called test track. it now also has a test track.

testtrack.org/vehicle-simu...

(i'm planning to use the site to compare and benchmark playwright vs puppeteer vs selenium webdriver vs lots of ai-powered options that are available now.)

While I was in Ireland last month, several people suggested watching The Wind that Shakes the Barley. Finally got around to watching it tonight. But I could only get about 30 minutes in before I had to turn it off. It's so intense.

on my someday/maybe list for years was recreating one of my favorite video games from when i was a kid: apache strike. but it always seemed like it'd be too much work. then claude code comes along and boom: a proof-of-concept written on my phone while i'm in bed with a cold. behold: "drone delivery"

In 20 years, we've gone from no one caring about browser automation to every YC company being a browser automation company. Wild times.
