I write code and have a complicated relationship with simplicity. When not writing code, I enjoy collecting hobbies. I say "collection" but it's more of a crudely curated "hodgepodge of curiosities".

I'm collecting quotes in a sort of digital commonplace book.

Part of me feels like I should host it someplace, but since none of the quotes are my ideas that seems funky. The curation is a creative act and all but it stills seems debatable.

If I was doing little comments on each, kind of like daring fireball links, I'd feel better about sharing, but that's not what I'm trying to do at the moment.

Is that weird? Am I overthinking it?

Go home weather! You're drunk.

Reject the pull of hype and rage cycles, protect your attention

Read a book, bake a tasty treat, go on a little walk, snuggle a cat or dog

I believe in you

A thing that has confused me on a couple of occasions is the 2 similar but distinct kinds of secrets needed for Codeberg pipelines.

What if... Industrial Revolution... but adoption of the least efficient tools and processes imaginable.

used to get think-shamed by my peers as a kid, but I stayed thinky anyway. got a little bit into think culture, it's a wholesome community.
gtfo, a goat made this cheese?

I own a microwave. Lots of things are made worse by putting them in the microwave. It's great at boiling water and ok at thawing frozen meat.

Some people do lots of cooking with a microwave. I just use it for the tasks that I think it can do without compromising the experience of my meal.

I can't taste a difference in my baked treat because I softenend the butter in the microwave.

This is also how I'm approaching LLMs at the moment.
