Yesterday someone told me they're considering buying a coffee machine with "AI features".

In my head, a little thought bubble popped up, like Homer Simpson when he’s thinking:
- "Machine, make me a coffee."
- "Sure! Here’s your coffee!"

Inside: a mix of coffee, tea, chocolate, gear oil, and leftovers from a 1986 birthday dinner.

- "Machine, this isn’t coffee! It’s disgusting! You've poisoned me!"
- "You’re right. If you'd like, I can give you the number for poison control, or, if it's too late, for a funeral home."

I replied: "Personally, I prefer making my coffee myself."

I switched from a simple coffee scale taking AAA batteries (from Aliexpress) to a more expensive one that's rechargeable with USB-C. But besides not needing batteries once in a year, it's worse in every aspect.
- Terrible UX
- Needs to be charged every month
- Doesn't give any warning before going low-battery

Alright, #Tokyo coffee time. Pulling my first morning #espresso shot. Lots of updates for #iOS as well. It’s going to be a busy day.

Back to #espresso for today’s brew. For some reason instead of my usual cup, I decided to try a jar so that I could do a visual check on the consistency of the cream. It took me a while to nail down my process and recipe with the ROK EspressoGC manual machine. But over many brews, I can say I nailed it.

First a bit of Horizon Forbidden West gaming and then let’s code.

Today’s a holiday in #Japan. Taking it easy and slow. Still deciding what I’ll code on my free time today. I have a pretty good backlog but maybe just rest?

In any case, some good #coffee to get started. Might be good enough to juggle my brain.
