Writing this in 2026 AD (234 AdR), crypto is solidly in a “winter”. As valuations have fallen, so has the intensity of the debate surrounding the topic. I therefore feel it apt to use this opportunity to briefly write down my thoughts...
One thing I wanted to say, regarding my last post. I am not a pessimist, and I do not want to imagine any kind of block on artificial intelligence tools for supporting creative work or development. On the contrary, aware of my past...
Since I am moving more and more away from BigTech (see here…), I was wondering if we need a Fediverse alternative for LinkedIn. I don’t even want to go into the details but LinkedIn shows the same bad symptoms as all other big “social”...
This quote on wood — a gift Wendy created for her husband at the library's makerspace. ⊕Currently Listening: Petey “Lean Into Life”Reply via email
A few days ago my family went to the supermarket, and I saw someone that had been an intern with me, in that same big company in my small town that I now work on. He was working as a cashier now. As an introvert in real life—hard to...
No matter whether we’re early or late, It's how we run, not bolt from the gate. Our life is not a horse’s race; Each has his moment, gift, and pace. Once on the Way, let’s walk it straight; And offer to each a measure of grace. I scatter...
Candide, yet more moved with compassion than with horror, gave to this shocking beggar the two florins which he had received from the honest Anabaptist James. The spectre looked at him very earnestly, dropped a few tears, and fell upon...

I have a Posteo email account. I was paying 1 Euro per month (or whatever that converts to in USD at the moment) for 2 GB of storage. Today, Posteo doubled the amount of storage on the 1 Euro plan from 2 GB to 4 GB. I do not think I was...
Bluetooth headphones are great, but they have one main weakness: they can only get audio streams from a single device at a time. Facts and Circumstances™️ mean that I have to have hard separation of personal and professional workloads,...

Me causa bastante curiosidad el rechazo a las cosas. Nota: Vivo en América, en el pacifico Mexicano. Muy cerca de USA. Seguramente esto me sesga bastante a sus modelos industriales y consumistas. Trabajo Tengo un empleo en desarrollo de...
February 4, 2026 I'm not trying to escape Apple I'm staging a protest. A small one, sure, but deliberate. The reasons pile up daily: Apple has quietly transformed from a company that built great tools into one that tightens its grip,...
Micah Mattix’s Prufrock on Monday linked to two essay-reviews that I think should be considered in tandem. In Aeon, Richard Beard writes: Turing’s Imitation Game paper was published 14 years after the first Writers’ Workshop convened at...
Kagi and DuckDuckGo both provide reasonable alternatives to Google's and Microsoft's search services, without compromising your privacy. How different are they?
Eu jogo uma quantidade considerável de RPGs por ano, é um dos meus gêneros preferidos desde que eu aprendi a jogar. Mesmo quando não sabia nada, eu ficava fascinado vendo os personagens a história se desenvolver na minha frente. Quando...
There’s a lot that’s not going well; politics, tech bubbles, the economy, and so on. I spend most of my day reading angry tweets and blog posts. There’s a lot to be upset about, so that’s understandable. But in the interest of fostering...

This is the accompanying website for the eponymous zine that I created for Zinetausch #10 by zines.cool. Here I collect further information and helpful links, and I hope—although conceived as auxiliary information for the physical...
0:00 /6:45 1× It’s absolutely devastating to watch this. I’d love to echo the sentiment I’ve seen on social media and say, “how could anyone watch this and not be devastated?” But I’ve become too jaded. The people doing and celebrating...
Today’s topic is Trig Functions. I feel like Trig Functions don’t get a lot of love because nobody seems to know what you would actually use them for. I don’t get to go over it in the talk very much. Let’s actually show a demo of where...

In January, I wrote about doing a month without caffeine and gave an update one week in. In the original post, I wrote about realizing I was using it to override exhaustion rather than addressing it. I had been relying on matcha, black...
I'm writing these words remotely via SSH using Zed's remote development feature. It's pretty cool. Why bother? As I mentioned before, I removed my personal notes from my work laptop and now access them remotely by SSHing into my home...
After reading the book Highest Duty: My Search for What Really Matters by Chesley “Sully” B. Sullenberger III, to which I gave 5 stars: Now a major motion picture from Clint Eastwood, starring Tom Hanks—the inspirational autobiography by...
One of the most important things I have learned about living is that, in any life of purpose and creative vitality, you must be as religious and disciplined about your sleep as about your work. And yet one of the great self-betrayals of...
Chrome’s split view tabs is one of those features that silently arrived and slipped into my workflow. I’ve found myself using it more and more over the past couple of weeks since it rolled out at the end of 2025. It’s as intuitive as tab...
I have been feeling particularly blessed lately; this directly coincides with a recent change in my prayer life. Since I reconverted in late 2023, I have tried to establish a consistent prayer life. Through discovering Eastern Orthodox...
After Trump I and now Trump II, I have decided to exit the USA from a business perspective. I don’t actually live there. It was with a heavy heart because I’ve had many a good time in the US. And, who knows, those good times may return...

I have added two new themes to my minimalist doric-themes package. The collection is growing to cover styles that range from austere to playful. doric-jade is a light theme with an emphais on green. doric-copper is a dark theme with...
It took quite a while, but I finally got a new phone. The Wife's iPhone is at its last days (I have no idea how she does it), so she will inherit my iPhone 13 Mini. That is the law. But it required me to buy myself a new one, as having a...

With all the packing and other back-to-Denmark-related tasks, spare time has become a precious commodity. So I try to spend it on soothing activities like tweaking TERMINAL-1090. But instead of piling up new features, I'm simplifying the...
For some reason, Renu Khator, the longtime president of the University of Houston and chancellor of the University of Houston System, has felt the need to remind her faculty that “our responsibility is to give [students] the ability to...

Mitchell Hashimoto
I'm a developer living in Los Angeles, CA. I previously co-founded HashiCorp. Today I spend most of my time working on Ghostty, a new terminal emulator. I was part of the initial engineering team behind most of the HashiCorp products, such as Vagrant, Packer, Consul, Terraform, Vault, Nomad, Waypoint, and more. I don't work on any of those projects anymore. I was CEO for ~4 years, CTO for ~5 years, an individual contributor for ~2 years, and then left the company in 2023. I fly airplanes. ✈️ I'm an FAA licensed private pilot with an instrument rating (PPL ASEL IR). I currently fly a Cirrus SF50 Vision Jet. I frequently share pictures of my flights.
