  I really need to get to a PyCon. 20 years as a Python dev and never once been to PyCon. I have friends in the Python community who think I’ve been. It’s crazy. I realllllyyyyy need to fix that.

  I was in a reflective mood last night and this morning. I journaled it all out of my head and thought, why not just post this for the world to see? https://anderycks.net/what-am-i-working-for/

  I just had a moment where I needed to page through a dozen or so Google results to find something. I had this weird deja vu about that. I never do this anymore, but I remember paging through Google results for hours back when Google was new. Yes, that dates me, but also, remember when that was fun?!

  I wrote a blog post on Jim Prosser’s AI and Dr. Manhattan piece, which is genuinely so good. I’m a little tougher on AI/tech leaders than he is. Clearly, I’m not trying to win friends and influence people in quite the same way. https://anderycks.net/wanting-to-change-the-world-is-arrogance/

  Sometimes you have one of those perfect mornings. Good coffee, progress on a great book, a little writing. I’m good with whatever the rest of the day brings now.

  I’ve been doing a lot more writing lately, both on my blog and in fiction. I’m writing about technology and the stories we tell ourselves about tech. I like the way this post turned out, to give you a sense of what I’m going for. https://anderycks.net/that-twinkle-in-their-eye/

  I’m irrationally excited for the season finale of THE PITT tonight.

  It's hard to write about AI without wading into a religious war, but I tried. https://anderycks.net/critical-about-the-stories-we-tell-generative-ai/

  @multiverseofbadness I find myself mostly in this camp. My open source friends are AI will destroy us doomers; my work friends are Dr. Galaxybrain boosters. I find it more exhausting not being able to find reasonable conversation than anything else. So just waving from across the room, being glad to hear there’s more of us. 👋

  I got a new keyboard for office work. Had to trade in a classic WASD board that had loud cherry blue switches for one with some tactile browns for a softer click. I do also find the CNN red escape key appropriate.
