Excited to be in New York City for the first time! And excited to present at the MCP Dev Summit.
First day back to work after 4 weeks of parental leave. Of course, last night was the worst night of sleep since we got home from the hospital.
I’ve gotten a lot more use out of AI chat bots since I became a parent.
New post on setting up a Codex environment for Gleam. It was a little more complicated than I expected.

As a new parent, I run into cloud environment timeouts way more often, and I very much appreciate those that make such things configurable.
Dang, man! What a great opportunity. I'm stoked for you, and, honestly, a little jealous. I've been using Jujutsu for a number of months now, and I'm looking forward to what comes of this project.
The more I use @gleam.run the more I like it. I know it's not pure, but the functional paradigm makes me think in different ways. Looking forward to building some great projects with it.
As an open-source maintainer, I don't understand the "Can you make this new thing more like this old thing?" mindset. If you like then old thing, why not use that?
I have recently rediscovered peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. They will be my go-to snack for a while.
My favorite line from a Zed blog post I read recently: “Even long edit histories barely compare to the memory savings Zed obtains from not being built with Electron.”
I like GitHub a lot, but it blurs the lines with git so much that people never really learn how to use git.
I see a number of commits with no body, and the PR description is full. If you fill out the commit body, then I don't have to go search for the PR to find a description of what you were doing
Yesterday I decided to give up on vim keybindings in all the places. I'm still getting a bunch of j's and k's in my code, but hopefully that goes away soon.
