You can read with your eyes, ears, and get this... your hands if it's in braille. It all counts.
I don’t know who needs to hear this but listening to an audio book absolutely counts as “reading” a book.

In fact, I’d argue that listening to an author read their own work aloud is an exceptionally magical and even holy experience.

I love it so much. Especially as my eyesight gets worse.

Happy Birthday to me, internet! Send me your fave recipes. Or maybe something you tried recently. I'm not picky.

The search experience in Finder on Mac and Outlook are both competing for last, but in slightly different ways. Outlook returns nothing but Finder returns everything.

Every time someone tells me I "used too many gifs" in a personal blog all I hear is Ilya saying "bol'she bol'she bol'she" and yes I am so close to taking that next step and putting a Heated Rivalry gif in a blog.

Second time I've ordered cold brew instead of nitro cold brew and now I get to deal with ice... booooooooo.

The switch from management back to IC was definitely what I needed in this era of my life.

"Ostentatious" feels like it's making a comeback and maybe I live under a rock but I'm lost on why.

`{{ now() | dateAdd(-5, 'DAYS') | date(\"yyyy-MM-dd'T'07:00:00-06:00\") }}`

☝️ That's my favorite expression I've made in Kestra so far. Like it's a little chaotic, but still readable.

I know this API I was working with didn't rate limit me and just send back casual 403... because that would be rude.

How do I teach my fingers it is .yaml not .yml?

I've been really stuck on this idea that no one actually knows what orchestration is. Do you know what orchestration is? Is this too marketing/buzzwordy?

One thing about me is, if you ask me to format a date or a number, I'm asking Google to do it for me or find a service that can. You want me to handwrite ISO 8601? Pass. RFC 3339? Also pass.
