Ski Snacks - Food BOOK!
Jonathan HoggI will say one thing for generative AI: since these tools function by remixing/translating existing information, that vibe programming is so popular demonstrates a colossal failure on the part of our industry in not making this stuff easier. If a giant ball of statistics can mostly knock up a working app in minutes, this shows not that gen-AI is insanely clever, but that most of the work in making an app has always been stupid. We have gatekeeped programming behind vast walls of nonsense.
Wintery Mix
Tuesday 13th Jan. The MET Office forecast predicted a wintery mix would fall from eleven until noon. Delayed by my own natural distractions that was scheduled for slightly after I left the house on my standard Tuesday run. On the calendar fifty minutes of easy running with six times twenty seconds of hill strides.

Although one task for the day will be to attack a bank of snow from neighbours clearing their driveway with a shovel to flatten it out.
On Sunday I skied from my house to the sea then Footdee. Now I just hope the snow melts enough that a new washing machine can be delivered.

New Journal
And hot on the heels of yesterday's entry about being at the end of one journal, today I start the new one. The sticker came from the parcel with my one of my Christmas presents in. As a bonus, below is a photograph I took earlier today of the stack of most of the core notebooks that I've filled over the last decade plus.
