As a kid, I always wanted a set of Walkie Talkies to chat with friends. We got cell phones as adults, but that desire remained. A few years back, I took the HAM exam, but then COVID hit us, and I didn’t apply for a call sign. Now I have...
I love sandwiches. Earlier today I was thinking about how you can eat a sandwich at any time of the day. I have eaten sandwiches for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. When I saw Zachary’s “Sandwich Questionnaire“, I thought I have to respond...

Sunny days means art daysThe sun starts to shine, my hands are not cold, so I automatically want to draw more. It seems I'm an artist only half of the year 😅 #art #urbansketchingThank you for following my feed! ♥ Leave a reply here.
2nd February - 8th February I am nursing a hot cup of tea while I wait for the decongestants to kick in, allowing the steam up my nostrils and into my swollen aching sinuses. I don't know if it helps but it feels like I'm doing something...
Al final, ante la falta de un portátil operativo, he configurado mi ordenador de sobremesa para programar, así que he tenido que configurar Git para trabajar con múltiples plataformas de control de versiones. El proceso para hacerlo es...
The traditional "shift left" strategy in software is about how we move testing, security considerations and quality assurance to an earlier stage in the architecture and development process. This strategy is a useful one which can be...
In which I challenge myself to draw a pokemon every day until I stop Both yesterday and today were selections by the kids after loading up a random 6 and them selecting two and I gotta admit I don't think I was on my game for these. Sat...

A little bit of a Listography update that I'd like to share here as well... as a list, of course. Listo laundry list: Done Set up a different type of calendar for the year. I think it looks pretty cute if I do say so myself. Also decided...
OOP to me means only messaging, local retention and protection and hiding of state-process, and extreme late-binding of all things. Alan Kay, the father of OOP Poem: Objects everywhere My adapter needs a service To adapt to any purpose,...
“I was in bed and fast asleep when it pleased God to send the Bulgarians to our delightful castle of Thunder-ten-Tronckh; they slew my father and brother, and cut my mother in pieces. A tall Bulgarian, six feet high, perceiving that I...

Can you “learn any language fast and never forget it” thanks to the Fluent Forever method? I’ve read Gabriel Wyner’s book and intend to find out. Instead of focusing on grammar, it emphasizes early mastery of pronunciation with deep...
These are some of my favourite albums I listened to in 2025; not all I listened to, just some highlights for me. Quite a few were new releases in 2025, but not all by any means. I use the music streaming app Qobuz which doesn't have any...
Some thoughts having watched a bit of the coverage.[1] ice hockey What a bonkers sport. I love it. I wonder how far the puck travels over the course of a single game? I like that they can go behind the goal. The goal appears to be very...
Today is the birthday of the great Victorian critic John Ruskin (born 1819). The last time I marked his birth was way back in 2009, when this blog was in its swaddling clothes. I wrote then about the Ruskinian notion of 'illth', the...

On this day three years ago, I bought my first mirrorless camera and started my journey into digital photography. Perhaps it is better explained as me “getting back on the horse”, because I did own cameras back in the day, but they were...
Oftentimes I have a little gripe with my ARM Mac – It lacks the resources to run a Virtual Machine with the apps I need it to run, which exclusively run on an x86 machine This is HORRIBLE if I want to run something like Windows or a...
Isso começou a pouco tempo, pelo menos eu acho. Ou sempre esteve presente e eu nunca reparei. Mas entre todas as coisas que eu faço, uma que me atingiu hoje enquanto jogava Trails through Daybreak é o quanto eu gosto, ou minimamente faço...
February 2026. Pavia. For those bored of foreign muck, here’s a Bass mirror from Turin last night. Quite a bit of travel to go before we get there, though. A week in Italy was enough to confirm the greatness of Genoa, tick a new country,...
I skipped Divine Liturgy yesterday because, when I woke up, I was too tired to get ready and decided to fall back asleep until noon. Over the last several days, I've been sleeping rougher—waking up several times throughout the night,...
Are you a pile of masks and over drawn accounts or drawn to the unbright twilight drawn to shades, drawn. In a hall ? ?? Long ago they told me, Sit with ambiguity. I've been looking for them everywhere.
Offpunk 3.0 "A Community is Born" Release For the last four years, I’ve been developing Offpunk, a command-line Web, Gemini, and Gopher browser that allows you to work offline. And I’ve just released version 3.0. It is probably not for...
In the UK we are used to the rain, we get a lot of it. We put up with it because it makes us such a green country, makes stuff grow and we like to potter about with our trousers rolled up in a cool river on a hot sunny day.But even us...
Don’t tell my boss, but I am thinking about vacation. I am thinking about spending creative energy making something that will not convert or have any business value whatsoever. I am thinking about running off into the metaphorical field...
When you're reading this, you may already know what has happened at the Super Bowl on Sunday. Hopefully, the Patriots lose and ICE doesn't do anything idiotic like try to detain Bad Bunny—or anyone at the game... but they are just crazy...
"Nobile al Ridotto" (Nobleman at the Ridotto) from the Gli abiti de veneziani (1754) by Giovanni Grevembroch, translated by René Seindal.
These are my minimalist themes. They use few colours and will appear mostly monochromatic in many contexts. Styles involve the careful use of typography, such as italics and bold italics. If you want maximalist themes in terms of colour,...
Good morning — mostly? I’m a little late sending this morning. I was planning to send you this email yesterday morning. Then I sat down at the computer and instead I fired up Claude Code to work on a little project. Two very productive...

Inspired by how Obsidian names Markdown files by title, I put together a small Python script which couples with a VS Code workspace task to achieve the same. Because tasks need to be manually run, a key-binding can be used to quicken the...
We live in a bipolar epoch — on one end, the blamethirsty finger of cancel culture and politicized othering; on the other, the zeal for designating people, real human beings with real human lives, as secular saints expected to give us...
You might have heard of Size Five Games, they’re the creators of other silly entertaining point-and-click games like Ben There, Dan That!, Time Gentlemen, Please! and Lair of the Clockwork God. I played the first two ages ago, and the...
I love that The Guardian has this as their main story on their homepage. There are so many newsletters that I would pay to subscribe to, if they weren’t hosted on Substack. The intent of the USA’s Section 230 was to allow them to refuse...
This February is a 'perfect' or 'rectangular' month — a calendar layout where the month’s days form a complete neat block. It only happens for February in common (non-leap) years and only when the first of the month falls on the first...
Listen: we all loved Bottlebright and Krag, and The Jade Regent was a blast; unfortunately, it was also a Pathfinder 1e adventure path and William had to do a LOT of shoe-leather behind the scenes to convert it all1 to 2e so it would...

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.
