And holy smokes, MISE seems to be a game changer. I guess no ASDF on this new mac as well.

For what it’s worth, I think starting with być is the worst possible way to begin learning Polish conjugation (as an English speaking student).

Wow - after a couple of months of use typora.io is still wowing me. Quickly dropping in images with complete and elegant control to move the source file - fantastic! 10 out of 10!

Really enjoyed #OMGKRK Summer Jam 2025. Sad I had to leave so early. Looking forward to next year already!

Is it just me, or does everyone learn more about their native language studying a foreign language?

I have been playing around with Astro Blog on Netlify over the last few weeks, 3 sites and counting and I am really impressed! Sad I waited so long to give them a real try.

AI has trained me to never want to hear "You're absolutely right!" again - regardless of context.

Holy smokes! Spent more time than I willing to admit on creating a complicated elixir/phoenix form with deeply nested embedded structs with filtered views that had to keep state without required saves between views - oh and no hidden fields. Blog post coming... #MyElixirStatus

Yesterday, my hobby project went down. It was frustrating and ultimately eye-opening. At what point does a side project stop being “just for fun” and become something others rely on? And what responsibility does that create? mkumm.com/writings/when-…

Garlic Lemon San Pellegrino Water Recipe: - forget to wash the knife you used to chop garlic - slice lemon with that knife - squeeze juice into glass of San Pellegrino - enjoy! As a side note, it does not get better the more you drink.

Love this "*Thinking..." response from Anthropic this afternoon. I wish more humans could insert a little thinking/evaluate time like this before they respond.
