Just checking, it's now ok to flee your homeland, because you're afraid for your safety, and seek refuge in another Country?
Glad we've cleared that up. Let's hear no more about immigration and refugees then.

I commonly run into posts with fervent comments here and zero context as to what they're talking about, and it makes me feel like I'm out of so many loops.

Do something nice to someone today, expecting nothing in return other than the joy of being a human being who cares about others ⭐

Just started listening to You're Wrong About and am horrified that @michaelhobbes.bsky.social calls Nine Inch Nails a band for eight-year-olds.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

After a few years of primarily using JetBrains IDEs, and then primarily Zed, I'm finally back home on [neo]vim.
The landscape has changed considerably since, and keeping up with it all is difficult. But so too is how it has become much less work to customise via LLMs.
Good to be back.

I always thought that the iCalendar format (.ics, et. al.) originated in iCal, but it turns out that's not true. Apple had a big hand in its overall development, but the original spec was written by folks from Lotus and Microsoft in 1998.

Re-brand! One Man Band is now shellflow.dev
As I build this tool, I'm spending most of my dev time in it. This means it's becoming less of just a worktree manager for LLM tools and more of a general-purpose terminal wrapper that includes workflow tools.
Still iterating and discovering new uses!

If you're using `puma-dev` (having `.test` domains and automatic HTTPS is super nice!) but want HTTP2+ support + all the benefits of caddy, I've started work on a small script/setup that provides a `puma-dev` like experience, but using `caddy`!
