"Work out every day and you'll be significantly happier" they said...
But no one warns you about being so powerful that you snap your broom in half while innocently sweeping up.
How do I cope now, knowing I have this freakish strength??? 😭

Okay lets game this out: You are a Nintendo employee given unlimited funds and authority to move Switch 2 production to the US. No new factories, that's going to take way too long, you need to work with existing American Contract Manufacturing capacity. How fast can you do it?

I tried making the same small app with 3 AI tools.
Replit - Got stuck in a dead end with dependencies. Had to start fresh 3 times.
Lovable - Blocked itself using a paid API. Second attempt didn't work.
Cursor - Fully working app. Easy to add extra features. 🏆

First day back working with Cursor and I'm actually laughing my head off.

There's still so many job postings that are "100% remote" but only accepting US-based candidates. Or hiding the fact that the role is actually hybrid with mandatory days in office.
I've even seen a job listed as "remote, with 4 days in office" 🤯

I played my first ever game of padel tonight. I'm into it!
It's like doubles tennis on high cardio mode.
And you can wallop the ball at the wall, which is very satisfying.

I found an Addams Family pinball machine in the arty farty hipster area of Bordeaux.
And there's a skatepark down the street too.
Maybe I should move here for my midlife crisis?
