Another few hours in Expedition 33. More and more in love with it. More western developers need to develop JRPG style games.

Clair obscur expedition 33 is hell of a game. Cannot put it down. Love the story, mechanics, characters, everything.

Finally had a moment where AI code assistant helped me. Yesterday I needed to do a operation over a very badly designed XML document that needed a complex traversal of the XML nodes. Ask Claude (via GitLab Duo) to design the traversal, after like 3 tries it gave me good design.

YouTube premium is such a deal. You have no ads in yt plus you get YT Music. With the family plan for me, my wife and kid it's almost free. You do not have to worry about your kid seeing ads. And yeah you do not have to pay for Spotify.

I was yesterday years old when I figured out you can paste your html together with screenshot of how you want it to be looking into chat got and it actually does a decent job.

How on earth somebody considers it ok to change a subscription for a theme to existing software?

As a mostly backend developer I like how I can ask AI to write simple css for me. It almost always looks better then what I come up with.

If nothing else, the copilot AI summary of Teams meeting is a great feature.

Maybe coding for work and coding as a free time hobby is not such a good idea.

My 5year old daughter asked me: "when we are counting, why we are starting with one and not with zero?"

Made me proud. 🙈

Was not feeling great last couple of days. Bit sick and no motivation to do anything.

I tried working with Gostty and its great for localhost but lags when I ssh into some other servers. Up arrow brings just part of the commands, two at once, etc.. not happening in iTerm.

The Lego Barad Dur set looks amazing, but it's soooo expensive.
