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 Iām grateful to have some leeway to be creative and do some meaningful work outside the jira board. Iām grateful to be able to provide a good income for my family without taking on all the risk myself.

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 outās are very good,
āAI is not magic, itās a headacheā.
By definition AI is magic to the vast majority of people, but funny how true this is.
āWhen I finish tasks, Iām not fulfilled⦠if anything Iām 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.

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 Iām not doing it right, or a future state gets
better than where we are right now, but right now they kinda suck.
Transparency
Iām 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...

Gave modd a try today, and I like it, its something I am going to consider slotting right into my justfiles [2]. Gave it a try and it seems to work really well out of the box and easy to configure.

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

#
# # run linter via ruff

}
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.

Gave modd a try and it seems pretty good, will likely be slotting it in next to my justfile usage.

# 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.
---
## š® 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.

Damn, social media is at an all time low. Iāve felt all of these issues and when I got a new phone I started fresh, I didnāt 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 donāt 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 doesnāt 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...
