Explore Forgejo is a self-hosted lightweight software forge. Easy to install and low maintenance, it just does the job.

Eric (@[email protected]) This was pushed out with a rushed security review, a coerced and unwilling engineering team, and in full opposition to our supposed company values.

- This man feels sad, he never had a chance to bloom. He was stuck behind the drudgery of jira tickets. This is what the consultant driven agile has got us. Its ripped out all the thinking and creativity, its left us with moving tickets across the board, not allowed time to run on an idea when we have one. Not allowed to do extra work or refactoring in a module that we are already in. pushed to move faster for less. I feel like this mans experience has been quite different from my own and I’m grateful to have some leeway to be creative and do some meaningful work outside the jira board. I’m grateful to be able to provide a good income for my family without taking on all the risk myself. Note This post is a thought [1].

Reflection - AI Work and ADHD | Nic Payne Reflection It's time to be more devoted to my work... AI has been a cool technology to watch and experience but one thing I'm allowing it to do to me pype.dev [1] Crazy that we wrote such similar posts on the same day independantly, I just wrote I'm Out On Agents [2] sitting offline in a doctor office. The two pull out’s are very good, ā€œAI is not magic, it’s a headacheā€. By definition AI is magic to the vast majority of people, but funny how true this is. ā€œWhen I finish tasks, I’m not fulfilled… if anything I’m relieved.ā€ I just wrote something very similar, maybe this feeling can be used for guidance to when to use AI. When you complete this task will you feel relieved its over? Is it a chore? or creative work you want to accomplish. Note This post is a thought [3].

I'm Out On Agents

Its the year 2025 and we are only a few years into having 6 months to live before ai takes our jobs, and the big push right now is agents, managing agents. I will fully concede to I’m not doing it right, or a future state gets better than where we are right now, but right now they kinda suck. Transparency I’m sitting offline right now as I write this, These are my feels, no research, no links, no ai, just vibes. Chat # [1] Chat is what really kicked off ai uses and goes back as old as computers, but it always sucked. Then chatgpt rocked the world with the biggest launch day in history and showed us that it could actually be pretty good. Unethically trained on everything they could get their hands on, burning cities worth of electricity to train, and keep training to stay ahead of the competition. It does a damn good job. There are tells, and if you see enough of it there is a lot that turns to slop, but if you had never seen it before, there is no way you would assume that it wa...

Today I gave modd [1] a try, and it seems like a good file watcher executor. I tried using libnotify to send desktop notifications, but all I got was modd, I might not have notifications setup right on the awesomewm machine. config goes in modd.conf **/*.py { # check formatting via ruff prep: ruff format --check . # check docstring formatting prep: pydocstyle . # # # check type hints via ty prep: ty check . # # # run linter via ruff prep: ruff check . } I installed it using installer from jpillora, pulling pre-built binaries right out of the github repo. curl https://i.jpillora.com/cortesi/modd | bash Then you can install it, and on file change it will run the commands you configured. modd References: [1]: https://github.com/cortesi/modd

THE_DEATH_OF_THE_USER_INTERFACE.md [1] markdown # The Death of the User Interface > **TL;DR:** We're witnessing the end of graphical user interfaces. AI agents like Claude Code are eliminating the need for windows, menus, and clicks, replacing them with natural language. The computer is finally learning to speak human, not the other way around. --- ## šŸ”® A Personal Revelation Last week, I realized something profound: **I haven't opened Finder in months.** Not once. Where I once clicked through nested folders, dragged and dropped files, and navigated hierarchical menus, I now simply tell Claude Code exactly what I need: - _"Find all the test files modified in the last week"_ - _"Move the old backups to archive"_ The commands execute instantly, precisely, without me ever seeing a window, icon, or folder. > This isn't just about convenience. It's a fundamental shift in how humans interact with computers, and it signals the beginning of the end for user interfaces as we know them. --- ## 🚓 → šŸš€ The Bicycle That Became a Teleporter In 1990, Steve Jobs famously described computers as "bicycles for the mind," drawing from a Scientific American study showing that humans on bi...
- Damn, social media is at an all time low. I’ve felt all of these issues and when I got a new phone I started fresh, I didn’t install one social media app. Luckily Youtube has remained solid for me. Yes shorts are a bit less what I came for and more addicting content they had to do in order to keep up. There are some legit good commedians, a bit of good knowledge and a bunch of trash that is hard to look away from on shorts. I still find myself able to find content I enjoy and signed up for on YouTube. I feel like I get a one way relationship with someone similar to a TV show or news anchor of old media. Social Media has morphed from follows likes and similar, to viral posts by creators I don’t recognize. posting and immediately getting like by two hot women with accounts created this week. The rest of the real creators left on there are stuck trying to keep up, echo viral trends, trying to keep up the content treadmill. A few come through, but most feel somewhat forced. A lot of it is ai generated, and whats not mostly doesn’t feel that human anyways. The people on here seem to really tie the internet to social media and are ready to quit the internet. I think there is more...

Today, some great work on the knife sharpener re-design. I've been using the same one since I first got my ender 3 3d printer, and have wanted to make some...
