Nothing like getting job offers to commit fraud.

Been here for nine years and it never gets old seeing the cherry blossoms starting to bloom in spring.

When I began learning Go, I really disliked how explicit we have to be with error handling after the thousandth time writing `if err != nil`. Over time, I began to really appreciate how it helps protect me from shooting myself in the foot.

I asked ChatGPT to review my website, and it decided to blatantly lie to me by making sure not to mention it's an AI (as if I didn't know) and giving me a vague, generic answer despite not even being able to access the site.

Just cancelled my Spotify Premium account after 13+ years. I have YouTube Premium and I migrated all my playlists to YouTube Music. I don't listen to podcasts or audiobooks on Spotify so I think I'll manage.

+1 on the cancellation confirm page, though.

Happy Year of the Snake, everyone 🐍

Pro tip for developers: Leave comments like these in the last file you're working on before stepping away for the day or the weekend. They're super-helpful when you come back and you have no memory of the last thing you were working on (which happens to me more often than I'd like to admit).

I love seeing holiday decorations all over the city.

I agree, more people should pay attention to the videos I publish on YouTube! 😉

How is it December already???

I haven't had much time to enjoy the changing of seasons here in Japan, but at least I have plenty of awesome photo spots nearby to take a quick picture when I have the chance.

My coffee mug got chipped right on the edge. I got a kintsugi kit to try it out and managed to fix it. It's not perfect but turned out great for my first time.

It was a lot of fun, and doing this encouraged me to begin looking at more things to do with my hands beyond hacking away at a keyboard.
