Pro tip for anyone who both enjoys listening to music while working and video games ... Video game music is great to listen to while working because it often has no lyrics and is usually designed to blend into the background.

So what I've been thinking about lately is how great it would be if Valve made a really sleek music app for just the music you have purchased on Steam 😀

Idea for a service or bot: Every morning (AEST because of course) post a brief description of the trending hashtags and what they are about.

Lately I've been spending a lot of the time I should be sleeping thinking about AGI instead 😄 Some of my random thoughts:
- How long would it take before we could trust an AI (AGI) to do payroll.
- Why do we worry about AGI being disruptive in our lifetime when it will likely take a lifetime to teach a 1:1 human brain to do anything useful?
- Even if we build a fully functioning brain, how do we teach it to "see", "talk", etc?

Do you name your YAML files (eg. “docker-compose.yml”) with “.yaml” or “.yml”? I’m always conflicted which I feel is more correct, and various apps expect one or the other by default 😅 also why do JSON files always have the full extension and not use something like “.jsn”?!?! 💁🏼‍♂️

I recon 80 chars, or maybe around 100, is still a great line length limit in 2026. Just a personal preference but still happy to fight about it 😄
