I switched to https://t.co/Fx0Zv3iDkZ from the amazon music app. Loving antennapod, the amazon app was getting worse and worse over time.

I wouldn't use a text editor if it didn't have undo.

Why would you use version control software that doesn't have undo?

Use jujutsu instead of git.

EFF are you okay

Software development improvements from the past few years:

Met a Swiss expat at lunch yesterday and learned it's called "Alpabzug."

Finding out I don't know the Swiss German word for cattle drive.

Riding at the 2025 Sang-Froid Riding Club's Bol d'Oregon endurance race. I won the Ironman class (only entry 😅 ) and placed fourth out of four teams in the modern category.

Eight days until race day. Team Filthy Casuals hard at work on the bike in a clean, organized garage.

Whoa, the `git switch` command isn't marked as experimental as of 2.51.0, released in September 2025! 🎉

git is a workshop full of tools, scattered about: everything you need is there but the next tool you need is always on the other side of the room. jj is a nicely organized workbench where everything is in easy reach.

[Matthew Mayer @Motoblag]

I declare "vibe coding" is now "jive coding."

Jive: foolish or deceptive.

@davefarley77 nailed it with https://t.co/RtntfjiOgt .

This material looks like it will stand the test of time along with Rich Hickey's "Simple Made Easy."

Bravo! 👏
