There are a lot of things I should be doing today, but I don't feel like doing any of them.

Speaking of not feeling like doing something. Taxes are due today. I have a service take care of…

Inviting the Aliens, by Paul Ford (Ftrain)

I’ve been vibe-coding proofs of concepts at work to help things along. I’ve never thought harder or more densely and to less effect.
