inprogress.works homepage refresh to show more posts from the community! it's never too late to start a WIP journal for your creative projects, come and check it out :^)

a major theme of oct 2026 is 1. live my life like I'm doing an onsite and 2. be very selective by what I get annoyed by

I have been feeling my recent dissolution of self so that simply means I have to post more and hold gatherings around discourse I’m interested in

I miss the asian american youtubers growing up bc the new wave of asian amer influencers are actually horrible

honestly pro yearning / wanting in moderation, we ideally need to look at what is before us and act accordingly

the only thing you can do is be earnest

ive accepted it is what it is...

been meaning to share this out more widely but wrote a heartfelt post about inprogress.works read it here! ⬇️ waves.connie.surf/p/small-netw...

when I think about the weight of my dreams, I hold my breath...

after a week or two of rotting I feel motivated again!!!

Not to be sadposting but uniquely feeling kinda low rn

First up is Connie Liu (@corny.bsky.social) on "values based software: tools and networks" connie.surf

I can’t stop thinking about how the medium is the message in regards to video

Recovering from burnout send tips

i actually think its ok my main hobby is very computer related there are many other ways to spend my time

I am always running out of time it seems

actually I've resolved myself. I'm in it for the long run, as long as whatever I make and spend my time on retains the sense of fun for me

Idk why but I actually am allergic to short form video

I also use so many em dashes I can’t let AI take that away from me..

Also lowk who be saving my Bluesky notes

Reread my old substacks to remind myself how far I’ve come and to believe that things can change for the better

We need to stop saying "vibecode" unless it's a yolo full send hobby project/prototype. LLM-assisted coding is based on engineering principles and not vibes

I went on my phone because I wanted to ambiently not think for a while but ran out of things to do pretty quickly, feel like anything I see on the feed annoys me these days..

if there's one thing about me is I'm going to work pretty hard on things that might seem illegible

I'm actually not sure why amongst all my real life responsibilities I decided to pour 36 hours into making this bird comic but that's the power of self expression!!!! AI can't replace this!!!! (I will be selling this at the brooklyn indie comic showcase / dm me if you want a copy)

Things are due but not sure when 🤔

i have reached flow state (accepting reality for what it is)

created photos.connie.surf as part of the html review this year!!! so honored :^)

reaaaalllly good at locking in on my own projects and not so great at other things

I think I’m gifted in losing things I lost my snow pants. Like how I only had one pair… I should make a website about all my lost objects…

thinking about fostering a cat or something...

i guess im going to make poetic TKO (iykyk)

Lowkey I stopped gafing yippeeee

when i say im going to lock in what i really mean is I'm going to battle my adhd tendencies and maintain a normal level of focus

Moving slowly !!!

finally had a true weekend break in long, long time - which is strange bc I've definitely taken breaks before but even when I was in SF I coworked a bit on the weekend anyways it is so nice to just be in the world for once

every so often i check twitter and get hit with a deluge of people catering to algorithm so many photos of sf is so back and which tools product designers should use for ai and etc....

mitski songs as a benchmark
