Page 123 has a great diagram - a way of focusing yourself as you dig into that "157 unread items & 1000 read items" inbox.

My key takeaway from this book, so far, is to identify the "next action" for things in progress. The BUJO (bullet journal) method of organizing is extremely valuable (and seems simpler/more concrete than GTD), but the "identify your next action" is a simple powerful addition I think.

And the reason I posted anything at all - a note to myself for the future. I'm working with people trying to provide this type of environment at work, and it seems to be an open problem for them.
Next time we interact I will now ask better questions
For years (decades) I have ssh'd in and vim'd and tmux'd my way to success. This has been great, and I still love it as a way to work. Last two days my desktop has been turned off (home maintenance has necessitated I move it), and I've been using repl.it for Advent Of Code. Which is awesome.
It made me curious about the maturity of open source self-hosted versions of the same thing. It looks like they're very mature.
Just learned yesterday that Visual Studio is (essentially) open source (as code-oss), and also how easy it is to setup a self-hosted dev-in-browser experience for a group of people using "coder" and code-oss.

My favorite part is when Christopher Lewis's version of Philip Glass's "Metamorphosis 3" kicks in. It sounds super cool on harpsichord.

The snek in Part 2 of today's #AdventOfCode gave me more problems than I expected because of one pesky diagonal move option I forgot to check for, but I got there!
Ugh, I'm too slow on #AdventOfCode. 5701/4104 tonight...
Reheating mashed potatoes is so strange. In the fridge they get all watery and cottage cheese-y. Then you heat them up halfway and mix them around and they still gross. I always think they'll be ruined and it's not worth the effort.
It's only when they're finally hot that they firm up and wind up perfect again. I don't think I could distinguish properly reheated ones from the originals.

I am now compiling a list of all servers who may have an interest in joining the United Federation of Instances.
Quite a few instances have already signed up.
Please reach out to me, all servers of any size are welcome!
This is non binding, its just to get a preliminary list. You can withdrawl at any time and dont have to go through the application process. I just want to know what servers to reach out to once we begin kicking things off.
If you are a server admin please let me know **in DM** if you have an interest and I will add you to the (for now) private list. I want to only release the list once we have enough momentum so please respond in DM only.
for those who are new to this you can read the proposal here:
https://ufoi.gitlab.io/constitution/united_federation_of_instances_proposal.pdf
You can read the early draft of the full bylaws here:
https://ufoi.gitlab.io/constitution/united_federation_of_instances_bylaws.pdf
Both of these will still undergo a lot of modification. For information on how to join the conversation see this post:
https://qoto.org/@freemo/109433298021890915
You can see the progress and conversation specifically at the official repo here:

Using #ChatGPT to solve #AdventOfCode. Pretty amazing.

Just did the first day of advent of code! Who know? Maybe this year I'll finally do all 25 days

Very interesting so far. Chapter two was a series of organized and insightful observations from engineering management, and while I found some specifics to disagree with I also found that every topic presented is a critical thing to think about while managing a team. In that way it provides an important reference, and I find that kind of book valuable. I had to take some notes: blog.notmet.net/2022/12/an-elegant-puzzle/

Just doing it in #Python this year - saves me time over doing it in Rust, and also I haven't been doing so much Python recently, so it's nice to get back to it for a bit. If I have extra time I'll probably go back and complete some in #Rust too, I'd like to build more proficiency there still, especially in the tricky algorithmic problems that come later.
