Say what you will about cycling bib shorts, but I just rode the mountain bike in normal clothes so a PR firm could shoot some social media video and now I'm very paranoid that my undies were showing.

It's time for my quarterly P&L report. (Pedaling and Loss.)

Instead of FT Dev Rel roles, do any tech platform companies sponsor indie devs working with their tech? I know plenty of people selling courses, I've seen YouTubers have their videos sponsored, but I haven't seen some indie dev fully sponsored by some tech company, like Instagram influencers or pro gravel bike racers are.

I am SUCH a better programmer with a real live pairing partner. They don't even have to say anything. But rubber ducks and LLM chats don't work the same.

Whenever I'm on a screen-share call with a non-technical person who scrolls a web page by actually grabbing the scrollbar with the mouse 🤯

There's been a single fruit fly flying around my desk for days now. A maddening mystery.

Cool with steady rain all day. A perfect day to work on the projects that require me to make stuff on the computer. I hope my eyes and mental energy levels agree.

If you have a security policy that employees lock their computer whenever they step away from it, to increase compliance get an office cat.

Time always passes
It’s always moving
Waxing in the shadows
Such strange, wild beauty
Months inside a fog under a crumblin' overpass
And then one morning you wake up
And you
Start feeling like yourself again
