This week, I learned how to build my own reporter for Minitest and rolled my own feature flag manager. I love programming in Ruby!
I’m unsure how I feel about the AI Chatbot feature in the latest Firefox release. Granted, it’s part of Firefox Labs, an optional experimental feature, but I still don’t see a real need for it.
I’m still following 25 people on the bird site. I check in here once every few weeks to see what’s what. On a slightly related note, I still can’t understand why more organisations are not running their own Mastodon instances. Too complicated? Unproven technology?
Is anyone a user of Hyper? I am looking for recommended plugins and themes. The Hyper homepage seems a bit sparse. I was hoping there might be more themes and plugins out there.
After six months of use, I cancelled my Pro subscription with Raycast. I can get the same functionality using Spotlight, Pastebot, Rectangle, and a mix of ChatGPT and Copilot for GitHub.

We upgraded our youngest’s old 7th-generation iPad to a new 10th-generation iPad. I reset the old one, which I now use for reading and surfing. Usually, we re-cycle devices down the way to the boys, but our youngest needed a new one for high school. Happy to take the old one!
