This is my first time hearing about Tomas in a while. Does anyone know what he has been up to since word2vec?

> In particular, the programmer trying to debug a high level language program often must work with debugging tools that require use of the machine instructions generated by the language compiler.

Today spec-driven development is in the same place.

There's the famous quip that Steve Jobs hated focus groups. What people miss is that he (and Apple overall) was heavy on UX testing.

> start wishing for at least a spreadsheet

What exactly makes you wish that? I used to use google sheets for workouts but realised:

1. plain text notes are more ergonomic on the phone

2. dumping them into Claude produces more useful analysis than I could hope to extract for the same amount of effort.

I solve it by using Apple Notes for quick capture and then copy pasting from my mac to obsidian daily/specific notes, that I want to keep.

I also just keep long running notes for tracking things workouts and meals with headers for dates.

Works better than things like obsidian mobile and copy pasting is a natural filter.

Took me a while to realize it's not a linux distro. Incredible!
