10:18 - Sunday morning, lying in bed with the windows open and someone in the neighborhood is blasting Chopin for everyone to hear. I love it.
Distraction (noun)“a thing that takes your attention away from what you are doing or thinking about”.Perhaps it is cruel to describe this as distraction? Yet these small models have taken my attention, it is no longer focused on the...
Back in January I wrote about my “Spec-Test-Lint” workflow and ended it with a small promise: I wanted to start tinkering with remote development environments. I was thinking then about setting something up that would let me run agents...
