Corporations are yet again making piracy look very appealing.

1000000% agree. I'm currently interviewing for new jobs and when I hear that they use Microsoft Teams it's always a red flag. Not a deal breaker, but a red flag nonetheless. It is truly awful.

i was poking around your site and went here https://blog.duyet.net/2026/07/anyrouter/ and ran into an error: "Something went wrong! Minified React error #300; visit https://react.dev/errors/300 for the full message or use the non-minified dev environment for full errors and additional helpful warnings."

Perhaps you should read your code just a little bit?

why is OpenAI wasting their efforts on implementing ads if they are apparently close to AGI?

This goes way over my head and I don't understand most of it lol. I noticed you're still in the middle of getting your B.S. degree and you're already writing things like this...amazing.

I'm trying to get back into a Software/Infrastructure/DevOps Engineer role rather than my current position as a Cloud Support Engineer. I would describe myself as a mid-level engineer, but the goal is to reach a senior level title at a company with a high bar.

Maybe I've been desensitized by all the "Subscribe now" pop ups that take over your entire browser, but seeing the subscription box inline with the rest of the text didn't bother me too much.

I went through a similar journey not too long ago. I also asked myself "Why does highlighting even need to be in color?" when reworking my blog. I wanted a monochromatic look for my entire site, including code blocks. I noticed code blocks are still very readable as long as there's different tones. I still like pretty colors so I compromised by doing normal syntax highlighting when a code block is hovered over (or tapped on mobile).

Btw the dynamic highlighting by clicking on the code is so cool. I may or may not steal that idea ;)

I thought I'd see "smoking gun" near the top of the list

I use Obsidian but I don't follow the whole "second brain" thing, I just organize my notes by directories. You can use Obsidian however you want and adapt to the way your actual brain works. The "second brain" thing doesn't work for everyone. Even taking digital notes doesn't work for everyone (for example, it looks like you prefer paper notes).

If you haven't tried Obsidian at all I think you should give it a shot and write notes without following any system in particular. If you've tried it and you still prefer paper notes and the occasional apple note, then perhaps Obsidian isn't necessary for the way you take and organize notes.
