The struggle is real with getting too swept up on the tiny details when nothing has even shipped yet.

when you've been working on the best idea of your life for a number of days and just remembered you haven't been pushing to remote

it's the great lock-in of 12th Nov 2025, for the next 20 minutes, no talking to anyone, let's do this

Fixed a cute bug where my FaceTime-style camera view resized laggy. The SwiftUI border was instant, but AVCaptureVideoPreviewLayer lagged. Sonnet 4.5 said Core Animation was animating size changes. Wrapped in CATransaction + setDisableActions(true). Now smooth. Robots remember.

can we normalise putting side projects under a subdomain rather than giving each it's own domain to save money

these failed side projects costs are starting to add up

maybe something like

attempt1.willprobablyfail.com
attempt2.willprobablyfail.com
attempt3.willprobablyfail.com

difference in commit messages
