Please do yourself a favor and read some of Ruckers sci-fi books! Live Robots is a great entry

i'd love to see the code. very interesting

Generally I keep two different lists. One is for things I have to do on at a specific time (generally by day). This is often work related things, appointments, etc

Then I have a list for “Someday Maybe”. The wording of this is important. At the moment I add the task it feels pretty important, but often that feeling fades. I purposefully let that list cook for a while and come back to it one a weekly basis. If the thing still seems exciting I’ll pick it up.

This is pretty vague and not exactly how I do things day to day, but the key points are: reframing some tasks as “someday” or “maybe”. That reduces guilt if I don’t end up doing them but even more importantly it reduces mental clutter. It’s on paper so I can forget about it for now and refocus on the moment

Balsamiq for ui. Excalidraw for diagram type stuff. Looking forward to other peoples suggestions

Often, i will go to science fiction (Rudy Rucker) to "drink from the well" and generate some inspiration for new ideas, projects, etc. This is one of the real-life sources that gives me that same feeling.

It's just amazing and awe inspiring to see something that felt truly "out of the future". You can probably draw lines to existing inventions and research but to me, this felt like he lived in the world where this technology already existed and was giving us a glimpse.

I'm just here to ask that you post a followup when she finds that next job!

Logql queries for Grafana. Explaining regex in plain english and having to translate it

I can't agree with this more. I've never been able to "think" my way into a good idea. I always have to daydream and have an idle mind about it for a while

What would you be looking for as far as remote work? Folks here might have connections

Very polished, I'm impressed! It seems like everyone ends up recreating a PM or todo tool at some point. It makes me wonder if there could be a world where we have a standard protocol/api and then anyone can bring their own preferred interface?
