I'm making a tool for YouTube creators to test video titles BEFORE making the video, helping choose titles that drive clicks and save time.
If you know anyone on YouTube, spread the word!

What's the oldest tech you use on a daily basis?
My mouse is from 2010. It even has a hole worn in the side from constant thumbnail abuse.
I think I'll treat myself to the new MX Master 4 when it launches next month!

Do you know what the slowest and most infuriating app is?
Windows Explorer.
Why, in 2025, does it still take three seconds to start and multiple seconds to show a few thousand files?

After four days of chilling at a music festival, I am absolutely shattered!
I averaged about 25,000 steps per day, woke up early (camping!), and went to sleep late (also camping!).
Today, it's just going to be basic "Tier 1" tasks for me.

Some days, I'm a coding hero.
Other days, I make a database request for every row displayed in a table.
Today was one of THOSE days.
In my defense, I've only been doing this for thirty years.

I keep having intrusive thoughts.
I keep thinking I should make a simple social network app, for friends and family, without the bullshit and dark patterns of todays clusterfuck apps.
No algo's, no AI, no ads, no groups, no recommendations, no politics.
Like Facebook in 2007.
