A reflective day. Did a dig into the idea of "first principles" and questioned if it's possible to apply to debugging. An idea for an Android widget to add items to my GTD inbox quickly. And a look at how zettelkasten note taking acts as a rate limiter for information consumption

Scientists are apparently curious about what's causing India's massive Covid spike. I feel the reason is somewhat obvious and I worry a similar fate awaits Sri Lanka. Also, double thoughts on Apple today. One of criticism. And one of praise.

I take a possibly inaccurate peek into the bottomless pit that is multi target app development frameworks. Also, a fresh read of Naruto gets me reflecting on the evolution of power ups in Shonen. And finally, a mini hobby of mine: Re-recording music with my own guitar/drumming performances added in.

I dive into a visual studio 2022 announcement and my past in .NET development. Let's just say I'd like to try C# again. A quick tribute to Bill Stoppard's latest video, followed by a look at how Julia Evans built an interactive game to help people learn about debugging DNS issues

Back to work. Back to school. Lots happening as we begin the week with interviews and thoughts on how exactly debugging should be done to be efficient. Add in thoughts on career opportunities with MakeCode followed by a Gilmore girls shoutout. We have a good mix today for sure!

Musing on the philosophical questions of "When does tech become old tech?" I feel like I want to think on this more. Also, angry about local butter having seemingly gone missing. And finally. The Toastmasters speech contest at division levels is over and the results are out!

Rambling thoughts on how consuming from Twitter, HN, and other firehoses isn't in fact always a bad thing. It can lead to decent ideas. That, followed by musing on my dreams of livestreaming and what next steps I need to take to make it work

Thinking through my current experience with fatigue thanks to fasting and wondering how people do this regularly. Also, a ramble on PHP in 2021 and finally, a shout out to a pixel art Twitter account

Thoughts about how Sri Lanka heavily protects workers in a single aspect which leaves us blind to different types of worker abuse. I also made my first "complete" game with MakeCode Arcade. And finally a shout out to Jake Archibald's work on analyzing the performance of each F1 team's website

Twitter's insistence on recommending "Topics" is infuriating and a waste of time. I have a vague idea for a VS Code plugin to make reading literate programming based source code a fun experience. And a few thoughts on why Apple should "embrace the grind"

Pain points in using Obsidian for my blogging flow delivers a plugin idea. A beautifully documented bit of Javascript delivers inspiration. And a watch of Moana delivers a desire to catch up on all animated films since 2015

A week's holiday begins and so do other things. I'm starting out on making "pitches" for myself for my work outside of Buffer. And all of this amidst the backdrop of a Ramadan which, for the first time in a long time, I wish I could skip right past.

A new app idea! An app that helps share delivery statuses with customers. Targeting restaurants that have their own delivery team. And a few thoughts on how it would be nice if more bloggers shared their email address + more thoughts on the release of Inkle and how to do software showcases right

Today was a busy day to say the least. The post's length definitely reflects that. But I had time to write about NextCloud being my next choice for self hosted software and I even had an app idea for creating narrated childrens books with auto flipping pages/images.

Some thoughts extending from yesterday's ideas on managing content consumption with GTD. Lessons on chess from watching how chess masters handle decisions across the board. And economics (MATHS!) of coding via a cloud based server instead of an expensive laptop

Not much to type today. No inspiration. But I created a post to keep the momentum going. Minor thoughts on how living here keeps finding ways to disappoint many people, and on the lack of skate parks here.
