I've been reading a lot on the area of Software Craftsmanship and Agile philosophies of software development. Regardless of what you may think of various practices and processes coming from those, the discussions of problems and solutions for building quality software in that space make discussions of slop coding feel utterly juvenile and purely absurd in comparison. #llm #slop #agile #craftsmanship
Three unexpected lessons yesterday: a beekeeping reminder cutting through the digital noise. Wrongly ordered window sills as a lesson in slowing down. And a friend in hospital putting everything in perspective.

Being Present – On Mistakes, Rushing, and Acting with More Intention

Vacation, time to reflect, and I want to use it to write again. Yesterday, buried in all the digital noise, one email stood out. A reminder about beekeeping. No ads, no newsletter, no notification …

KC-135E 1:500 - SLA 2

The KC-135E, a legacy tanker variant of the Stratotanker family, primarily featured the TF33-PW-102 turbofan engines which provided increased thrust compared to the original J57 turbojets, enhancing its capability for aerial refueling operations. This model retained the flying boom system and served as a vital force multiplier before its eventual retirement, leveraging its robust airframe design for decades of service. Here’s what each label means: - FDM: Printed on an FDM machine. These versions have lower detail, no panel lines, no engine blades, and use thicker walls. - SLA 1: Printed on an SLA machine. These include antennas, include engine blades, have thinner walls, but still do not have panel lines. - SLA 2: Same as SLA 1, but with added panel lines for higher surface detail.

Endo dreams of sushi: a trip around Japan with one of the world’s greatest chefs

The long read: Endo Kazutoshi spent decades climbing to the top of the culinary world, only for a devastating fire to threaten it all. I joined him in the aftermath as he travelled around his homeland, visiting the people that helped make him

I enjoy the preservation and exploration of old technologies. This is one such project.
