I just want people to know that I definitely haven't just spent an unspecified amount of time trying to remember a good solution to a problem that I forgot because I got lost for too long in the joy of having had it.

I set my local timezone to Madrid to test some timezone code I was working on last night. Unsurprisingly I totally forgot, and I've only just realised! Massive win. I just got a whole hour of my day back!

Spent my Saturday evening coding a little static web app in vanilla JS with no build tools whatsoever. It's so nice having such a simple workflow, rolling everything myself, and having a lightning fast feedback cycle. That's exactly what "the zone" is made of. ⚡️

Language learning is dangerous. I’ve just nearly fallen off a treadmill while trying to check a conjugation in Spanish. Ironically it was the verb “morir”.

If anything makes me want to buy a new MacBook, it's definitely editing 60fps/4k video. On the other hand, with it being minus wtf today, there are certain advantages to my CPU being on fire the entire day.

Today someone allowed me to ride a powerful buggy around a muddy mountaintop. It's a miracle I'm still alive. Nice try, Darwin.

Shower thoughts but from aimlessly wandering up and down Caribbean beaches. Today's: it's not about doing the thing, it's about doing the thing often enough that your results can accrue. It's about knowing how you'll stay consistent. Consistency: https://martinrue.com/consistency

As a language learner, there's nothing better than being in a place where 1) speaking the local language is unusual, and 2) locals are delighted that you're trying and help you.

Favourite word of 2023: aibohphobia – an irrational fear of palindromes. As cruel as the "s" in lisp. Hit me with yours.

Had an annoying workflow in Yakk. Considered writing a little Go tool to help, but a couple of lines of bash later and it's fully automated. Bash still delivering in 2023.

Who remembers the first place 64k demo winner Heaven 7? I think I still have "heaven7.exe" on a drive somewhere. Somehow it just came back onto my radar. It's still impressive now, but to think it was released in 2000. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rNqpD3Mg9hY

Random observation: I've seen far more women coding in the various Brooklyn coffee shops I've been working from this week. 👏

I wrote a little post about my top 5 good-energy feelings doing the work I do. 1: When you fix a hard bug 2: When you find your voice in writing 3: When you break through creative resistance 4: When you receive good feedback 5: When you see traction https://martinrue.com/creativity-top-5 I'm very curious to hear others' additions. This is definitely not an exhaustive list. 🙏

The real question among all the recent news is "which filing cabinet at OpenAI contains the USB stick labelled 'AGI code'?" Silicon Valley nailed it.

I have a bit of good news to share, but for once I'm sitting on it, telling nobody, and enjoying the presence of it. I never let things truly sink in, so I'm trying something new.
