Can't wait until that "we're cooking" period is over

And it’s done! Thanks to @martin.social for the great instructions

Printing a new lamp

Snapshot day at Microsoft. The good managers were busy today.

Can I retroactively get my 10 year MSFT service award crystal now? 🙃

The insidious way things get worse is deliberate, rewarded optimization. These steps made Hotweels measurably cheaper (or improved margins), with no measurable loss of quality. Because the quality was hard to quantify, or noisy, or deemed low value by a secondary metric (no sales impact).

I had no time to compose an answer, so here is my 10 minutes rambling voice note, hope it helps 🤣

Seen in Munich

types.go / types.ts / types.rb are the new utils.ts

Today’s office: back to the roots

Stacked branches always seem like just a good idea, and then you react to some feedback in the first one and need to rebase the world and get it re-reviewed

Productivity tip: plan for being OOO on a day, clear out your calendar but then actually show up for work. So much free time!

Spotify really has a playlist for everything 🎶

another day carrying 42lbs of water to a summit 🏔️

Today is the day 🤗

Not a fan of model pickers for users in AI tools. It's great to sometimes try out new models but in everyday work, I don't want to deal with that burden. I want the tool to make the decision for me or for the dev team to have picked the best model for the scenario.

Two more days until Doom! Can't wait

If you're in a meeting with more than 2-3 people and you're on a treadmill, please turn off your video 🌶️

Parents Pomodoro: quickly doing some work while the other parent is watching the sick toddler for a bit

Attempted to replace my aging UniFi Dream Machine with the new Dream Router 7. Placed it in the exact same location and coverage was way worse. Even stepping two yards away through a doorway, while still having LOS to the router caused a -30dbm drop. Hopefully an exchanged unit will work better 🤞

My own repos? some-feature, fix-some-problem Giant repos at work? cschleiden/project/feature, cschleiden/spikes/some-prototype. Makes it easier to find older branches, some might stay around for a long time

Huh, Claude is really good at utilizing MCP servers. Playing with a local one that exposes tools to list prompts and to run evaluations against new versions of them. Claude makes it super simple to then use those tools to make prompt optimization 🤯

I'm learning that selling standing desks or TVs on FB Marketplace are two very different experiences.

And here's what I see when I click on that "notification" 🙁

Tiger Mountain 1-2-3 trail run. Was expecting snow on the ground but not quite coming at me horizontally

Zelda, SNES version

Hacked together a super quick MCP server. Overall experience feels a lot like building LSP servers, the influence shows

"Up doggie, up doggie, up!" - toddler talking to the Apple TV Snoopy screensaver

Daycare closed due to ❄️🧊 around here. Had so many great plans for today 😀

"Let's just add a `title` attribute here.."

This view doesn’t get old

Love this view

Hm… okay?

4:30am, we’re on the second Bluey episode.. Jet lag is always fun

Nothing like exploring a new city with a toddler who didn’t want to take his nap

🙌

More models! 🎉

ChatGPTs Santa Mode is great

Upgraded to the latest iOS, Siri is still bad :(

Sorry can’t come to work tomorrow

Banff Mountain Film Festival day 1 is really good this year 🏔️

Hadn't really built any UI for the last couple years and then suddenly a lot in just a couple days. Realized I missed that 😀

Oh, so everyone used regex for today's #AdventOfCode? I guess that makes sense.. but this super ugly parser worked as well 😀
