After working full time in a wide variety of tech since 1983 (embedded systems work on medical equipment and commercial fire alarm systems, hotel reservation systems, ramp and fuel delivery systems in aviation, multiple startups in Silicon Valley, etc, ad naseum) I’m currently taking a break and working as a pin setter mechanic at a couple of local bowling alleys. The work is physical (running up and down the back of the 40 and 64 lane alleys, climbing up on the machines) and challenging in its own way: the machines were designed in the 50s and are a complex assortment of pulleys, belts, gears, cams, levers, etc. There is even a mechanical “computer” that acts as a state machine directing the operations of the machine. I still get to use my problem solving skills but in a much more tactile way. Also, no pointless meetings, conference calls. Downside: the pay is terrible. Fortunately I’m in a position in my life where that is not nearly as important as it used to be.

One of my favorite examples of a literate-style program is "cl-6502, A Readable CPU Emulator" by Brit Butler

Regarding the "camera viewfinder remote view thingy" I've used it to:

* point my phone at a TV while I aligned an outside VHF antenna

* point my phone at a security flood while I figured out which breaker in the garage controlled it

Any plans to support movable keycaps? I'd love to actually have the physical keys match my Colemak layout

I'm hoping the ReMarkable 2 closes that gap even further.

I've added mini-clover to my back yard. It's only been 2 months but the yard is already much healthier.

Will there be a RESTish API available? Or really any well-documented API.

Will Quill play nice with federated systems?
