I made a few claims in the past stating that the average size of pull requests went up by an order of magnitude. I largely based it on hallway conversations with developers at Lunar Logic. It turns out, the actual data is not that hard...
I love looking at people's holiday photos. My gran used to call them 'holiday snaps' and I like the 'snaps' part. It seemed like less expectation. They aren't Photos, just snaps. My grandad had cases upon cases of slides from his...
I previously have written back in March 2022 about how I use Twitter, and back in April 2023 about Twitter and its then-new algorithms, which have changed again. This post will update how I use Twitter now in 2026, and provide updates on...
A very nice MacOS app was released today — Aphera — for photo triaging and editing. Folks behind it: Ryan Carver, Naz Hamid, and Juan Pablo Zambrano, all bringing expertise to the project. Trying it out for a few weeks — and looking...
Reminder: The Savor of the Month theme for July is DOORS. Details here; chat thread here. Currently you have to be a Supporter to contribute to the thread because I was getting too much spammy stuff, but I may open it up again later....

I never cut my flowers and bring them in, I think they are fine where they are, alive and growing in the garden. They are for looking out the window and appreciating. But the herbs are going wild and need to be pruned faster than we can...
As you (may) know, at Kuriositas we like to showcase some of the best student-created animated shorts. Many, if not most of them, tell stories that are action-heavy, which helps show off the technical prowess of the students. Fire is...
One byproduct of learning how to use coding agents to create visualization apps is that it now becomes straightforward to convert any figure in one’s papers that had already been generated by code (e.g., in Python) into a more...
I install a lot of small tools. A CLI from someone's GitHub, a Homebrew tap with twelve stars, a Rust binary that does one thing well. This is how I like software, and there has never been more of it. Unless it’s a really established...
Successful design systems don’t happen by accident – they’re intentional, they have clear aims, and their team’s work is prioritised against shared goals. In short, they are underpinned by good strategies. Over the past decade, I’ve...
Sometimes I think it’s a shame that I grew up in the 1970s, because I’ll suddenly and randomly get an AM Radio hit stuck in my head out of nowhere. It’s worst when I find that I’ve unconsciously memorized all the lyrics. But even with...
