Woah! Honestly I forgot that you can install iPad apps on Mac.

Never even tested it there, the sheet modals are slow to appear but it works!

Good news for contrarians: cultivating heedfulness, equanimity, and goodwill toward others is more counter-cultural than ever
Four charts by Financial Times titled "Young adults' personalities are changing, with conscientiousness in freefall" Subtitle: relative change in strength of different personality traits by age group Charts: - Conscientiousness falling sharply in 16-39 group from 2015 to 2024, a bit more slowly in 40-59, just a bit in 60+ - Neuroticism growing a lot in 16-39, less so in 40-59, lowering in 60+ - Agreeableness flatlines for 60+ too, falling for 16-39 sharply and a bit for 40-59 - Extroversion has in decline *evenly* for all age groups, not just younger people

We're so back 💫

(in 2017 I wrote "How I got to 200 productive hours a month" which got over 150k reads, but I was almost 10 years younger lol)

Tracked, of course, with qotoqot.com/qbserve/
Productivity table from Qbserve app with 197 hours and the top-5 activities: JetBrains Rider (86h), iTerm2 (16h), ChatGPT (15h), Sublime Text (14h), and iOS Simulator (7h)

I'm still love the website design we had around 2010, back when we were a small gamedev studio.

Then the adaptive minimalism era arrived, so QotoQot.cоm ended up nowhere near as pretty. But when we finally find time for a redesign, I’m totally bringing back that cheerful vibe.

A colorful website with game thumbnails in a square frame in the center. Around the frame there are a totem-like cat, owl, and another cat in a frog hat peeking from one side, a rainbow with a sun on the other, and an ox sitting on clouds beneath it.

Glad we got the trend right with the late 2023 redesign of ConjuGato. Going from the current style to Liquid Glass should be pretty easy.

Two screenshots of the same screen in an app for Spanish verb practice: one in light mode and one in dark. Displays lots of squircle corners and light shadows behind the elements.

Got new setup for a more vertical lifestyle~

It's hard to get a 21" monitor with retina (this one is full HD), so I had to adjust the fonts in iTerm. Even though Monaco and Menlo were made for older displays, SF Mono looks best with modern Mac anti-aliasing.
A photo of a desk with two monitors: one smaller 21" rotated 90° and another 27" on the side. The vertical monitor shows Claude Code terminal, iOS simulator and Android Emulator, the other one has Jetbrains Rider opened.
