The new YouTube web UI is so bad 😭

I’ve worked in tech for nearly 15 years now. I’ve never been more unfulfilled than the last year. This summer I’m going to start learning some basic woodworking. It’s been forever since I’ve made something meaningful with my hands. I’m really excited about it.

Happy Gilmore 2 is over the top in a way that’s hard to describe. I kind of love it 😅

End of the summer is shaping up nice. Gonna be off until end of September to finish paternity leave. Going to take my son fishing. Taking a wood turning class. Work on finishing a few coding projects. Going to be awesome.

I’ve been avoiding doing this coding project for quite some time. This week, I hit a breaking point and just started the damn thing. Long ways to go, but I’m really stoked about how it’s going so far. Not a vibe coded project, but I am using my self hosted LLM to ask questions, get feedback, and troubleshoot. I’m really enjoying using it in this way.

As a concept, self driving cars are incredible. Enable long commutes without the nightmare of fighting traffic? Yes, please. However, self driving cars are completely dependent on centralized tech. This centralization creates an absolute nightmare for freedom of movement. Govts WILL use this to restrict you. We desperately need a revolution in self hosting. I have no idea if it would even be possible to have a sovereign self driving car, but if self driving becomes as ubiquitous as proponents claim, not having total control over our vehicles will be Orwellian to a degree that, I believe, is unheard of.
