As a sort of research/inspiration or maybe more truthful procrastinating, I started listening to old German Audio Narrations of my favorite Childhood TVs Series and Audio Stories I listened to as a child.

It's interesting how my mind can still pinpoint, 30+/- years later, some dialogues while others are completely bonkers recreations of meaning and don't seem to be what truly was, unless the German and English dialogues had variants and I learned the English ones later, what basically happened with Star Trek Actors to me and some video games that I know in both languages very well.

It makes me wonder how much of our life's are really real and how much are really just imagining what was.

What I can tell writing and my own understanding of Dialogue has come a long way and I am a logic error bunghole... Hopefully I find my own mistakes as easily.😬😅
Also no AI trash if you use audio cassettes :D

So I am attending the wedding of a good friend to his ex-wife, as "best man", this afternoon at 4 pm... Wonderful! It is the 30th anniversary of their first wedding.
I just received the email with the invitation and the ceremony. With the note: "it might change a bit, the officiant is still reviewing it .."

Well, we have almost 4 hrs left until it starts ...

Since it's Monday, I thought I'd share a project I've been procrastinating on 😜.

I put this (future) beaded hat band on the back burner, well, a while back because I just wasn't motivated to finish it 🙃. However, now I need the loom for another piece so I started working on it on and off throughout this past week 😂😅.

At the time I picked it up again, it was *maybe* a quarter or so along. Currently, it's very close to being finito 😁! Needless to say, I'm excited to add the final touches and start the new project lol 🥰🤩.

🎉 Eight years of dreaming for #devtools, and all it took was three months and some #AI #wizardry to achieve it! 🧙‍♂️ Because, obviously, the secret ingredient for success isn't hard work or skill, but #procrastination followed by an AI-fueled sprint. 🙄 #WinningAtCoding

Eight years of wanting, three months of building with AI

For eight years, I’ve wanted a high-quality set of devtools for working with SQLite. Given how important SQLite is to the industry1, I’ve long been puzzled that no one has invested in building a really good developer experience for it2. A couple of weeks ago, after ~250 hours of effort over three months3 on evenings, weekends, and vacation days, I finally released syntaqlite (GitHub), fulfilling this long-held wish. And I believe the main reason this happened was because of AI coding agents4. Of course, there’s no shortage of posts claiming that AI one-shot their project or pushing back and declaring that AI is all slop. I’m going to take a very different approach and, instead, systematically break down my experience building syntaqlite with AI, both where it helped and where it was detrimental. I’ll do this while contextualizing the project and my background so you can independently assess how generalizable this experience was. And whenever I make a claim, I’ll try to back it up with evidence from my project journal, coding transcripts, or commit history5.

TIL: Structured #Procrastination

"Procrastinators seldom do absolutely nothing; they do marginally useful things, like gardening or sharpening pencils or making a diagram of how they will reorganize their files when they get around to it. Why does the procrastinator do these things? Because they are a way of not doing something more important..."
