To celebrate Brayden's birthday we laser tagged, raced motorcycles, gobbled up ghosts, killed aliens, ate pizza in the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game and pizza in real life. ⊕Currently Listening: Tyler Ballgame “Matter of Taste”Reply...
Why not? Writing a weekly post looks like so much fun…let’s see how long I can last! I thoroughly enjoy reading what others have been busy doing over their past seven days that I want in. Maybe I need this -- like a relaxing exhale after...
NY TimesGovernment doesn’t want undocumented immigrants in the country, but they are more than happy to sell non-citizen cartel members high caliber ammunition.
I'm not sure why I have to say this sometimes, but fandom spaces are adult spaces. What we consider organized fandom was built by adults, for adults. But there are people who forget this. Like I've seen people admonish adults for being...
A while ago I listed some of my works in progress. Last week I unpaused one of them (again). Namely, making a database and interface for interacting with all of my running, cycling and hiking .gpx and .fit files. It feels like quite a...

February 7, 2026 On a recent podcast, I heard [Jason Snell(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jason_Snell_(writer)) mention that he had created a simple Python app to automate a task on his Mac. Inspired by that, and since the weather is to...
I am deeply passionate about the art I consume. I like to drill down and figure out what makes a piece of art resonate with me. I like reading about the stories behind art and the process behind the things I admire. Here's a post talking...
In this near-3-hour video I talk to Eric Frederickson about a broad range of issues that can be summed up under the theme of “cosmic consistency”. We start with a discussion about Eric’s endeavours with software development. I ask about...
Hiked part 1/27 of the Pelgrims Path, 17.3 kilometres from Amsterdam to Amsterdamse Bos. Every year in Amsterdam, approximately 7,000 people walk the Stille Omgang, which has its origins in a Eucharistic miracle that took place in...
Yesterday I was in London, having lunch with an old friend, who, it turned out, had not seen the rehung National Gallery (despite living in London – ain't it always the way?). As we were close by, we stepped in, and I had the pleasure of...
I’ve been playing with security configurations this month, trying to optimize what I already had. While working with Linked Data and Wikidata, I had the idea to block all unidentified bots. I made exceptions for RSS files and any...
One of the areas of the Artemis codebase that I update the most is the logic that relates to the list of posts published by authors to which a user is subscribed. Because Artemis works with so many different formats of information – web...
Instead of a collection of links I found interesting, I decide to pay it forward and send them an email. Sometimes, I hear back! The majority of these links are gems I found on the Discovery page. Trending is a bit to fussy for me at...
I mentioned a few times in the last few months that I'm dealing with some health issues, and I thought long about whether or not I should write about them... but I always feel inspired when people talk about the challenges they're...
Candide did not take courage, but followed the old woman to a decayed house, where she gave him a pot of pomatum to anoint his sores, showed him a very neat little bed, with a suit of clothes hanging up, and left him something to eat and...
I'm sat in a presentation about "agentic AI" — we're going to construct agents (chains of computer systems) to handle to mindless repetitive grunt work that we all hate doing. In many ways, this sounds amazing. I can tell you the pain...
As I gaze at documents that I sent to Readwise back in 2023, one has to wonder: Does Anybody Actually Read Later? I feel like this idea of “reading later” was a bullshit habit created by business-savvy nerds who wanted to sell something...
February 2026. Genoa. Well, this is the post you were waiting for, I guess. Hand pumps in Genoa, according to Untappd. You just need to find the Public House*, tucked behind Piazza Banchi, only 5 minutes, but hard to follow the map in...
I didn’t ask for this and neither did you. I didn’t ask for a robot to consume every blog post and piece of code I ever wrote and parrot it back so that some hack could make money off of it. I didn’t ask for the role of a programmer to...
Over Christmas holidays I spend some time playing with the firefly-zero SDK. Over the weekend I took some free time to implement a Tetris clone. Parts of the game loop are already functional. My goal is to create a highly customisable...
I. The shuttle pulled out at 5:15 AM, same as every morning. Elara pressed her forehead against the window, felt the glass vibrate with the engine’s rumble, cold even through the humidity. The strip mall slid past—the grocery with its...
In a change of plan this morning, my day dramatically pivoted. I was quite happily lazing in bed at 8:30am, reading the internet. My mobile phone rang -- it was the elderly neighbour next door. I knew something was wrong! In as few words...
Hallo allemaal, Er is weer genoeg te vertellen! Zoveel dat ik vermoedelijk nog dingen vergeet in deze update. Dit is een kopie van een bericht op mijn nieuwsbrief. Schrijf u vooral ook in als u geen updates wil missen! Om te beginnen het...

Another rather unremarkable week. For a quick moment I really got into collecting and posting links, enough so, that I documented my workflow.All of this is good fun but also feels like something is missing. And weirdly enough it seems...

February 8th of 2026 marks the tenth anniversary of me moving to the Bay Area to work for tech startups. I didn’t quite have much to say about the tenth year so I held off. I’ve been here long enough that it’s no longer a temporary...
In reply to a post, I said:“Valencia & 20th” (e.g.) instead of “20th & Valencia.” The numbered street comes first.

A Ferrari designer's train delivered us to a city where Pritzker Prize architecture coexists with centuries-old samurai districts. We had no idea what we were in for.

One of the commonest and most corrosive human reflexes is to react to helplessness with anger. We do it in our personal lives and we do it in our political lives. We are living through a time of uncommon helplessness and uncertainty,...
I am unfortunately spending more and more of my time interacting with LLMs through terminal interfaces. While the sentient silicon churns through thousands of tokens I find myself scrolling short-form videos contemplating next steps,...

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.
