spaniards don’t eat, they taste. very delicious - but i’m almost always hungry after dining out here.
first day exploring alicante. one of the most scenic routes i’ve ever run.
ran a bit too far and they don’t take apple pay for trams here. a nice spanish lady offered me 5 euros but i politely refused.. taking 30 euro uber ride instead 🫠
very well said - 100% relatable
I am working on approximately 17 things simultaneously, and frankly, I find it overwhelming, exhausting, and not very rewarding.
I used to find extreme joy in living with a problem. Keeping all the details in memory, thinking about it deeply for days, iterating and improving.
Now all of that is gone. I am still pretty good at guiding agents - decades of developing and shipping all kinds of software cannot be erased - but I feel that what I considered one of my biggest strengths is diminshing in value.
Anyone working seriously with agents knows this, even if they don't want to admit it. The deep super focused thinking is much more rare now. It is like a muscle - if you don't train it regularly, it gets weaker.
Is that something that we are willing to give up? Something that is no longer needed? Can the new generations of engineers do without it? No idea.
was debating between toledo and alicante (from madrid) this week - could’ve easily been on that train. seriously thinking about canceling my ticket to alicante tomorrow and just renting a car.
condolences to the families - devastating. happening way too often in spain rn.

For the first 25 years of my career, I worried that my job was too hard.
Now, I worry that my job is too easy.
that feeling of figuring out a bug after countless debug statements/breakpoints, tabs of stackoverflow, etc...
dopamine rush from that lasted so much longer than one-shotting an entire app/feature with AI.
my longest run yet
sub-2 half PR
my knee area started cramping around the 10.5 mile mark but fought through. eventually it died down around 11 mile mark but came back around 13.5 miles mark again.
i love finding loopholes in airline sites and booking business class seats for cheaper than economy class tickets.
i wonder what % of devs working for bigger corp still pretend and act like they are writing every line of code.
