My avatar is a tweaked version of my favorite Duck Game hat, "Brick", and a sunset background I did in Affinity Photo. Used to be AI-gen, but I realized that was dumb. Header is close-up of sequoia redwood bark from a trip I took a few years ago.

This week I read the excellent @veronicaexplains blog about setting up a writerdeck, and was inspired to do my own, based on her guide.
Instead of Vim though, I chose Micro. I ended up not using tmux so I wrote a small plugin battery % and charging state in Micro's status line.
My write-up is at https://woltman.com/a-writerdeck-experiment/ and the plugin is at https://codeberg.org/johnwoltman/micro-batt-status
Hey all, today I watched Claude Code do my job at a rate that I could only dream of. It has made me extremely depressed. I thought I couldn't worry anymore about our future than I already did, but there are going to be a lot of college-educated people who simply aren't going to be needed anymore.
No idea what I'm supposed to do about this.
Sooo PyCharm supports Wayland now, cool. I ❤️ #pycharm! A notice about Wayland support appeared so I read the @jetbrains blog about it. This really stuck out to me:
"The splash screen on IDE startup will not appear as it cannot be reliably centered on the screen."
Splash screens may not be necessary, but they're nice for slower loading apps like IDEs so you know something is going on. Why can't #wayland support centering windows on a screen? This is Windows 3.1 level, basic stuff. #ux
