Long weekend, chance to explore a basic tool using coding agent. Nice to see, any command you can run in the terminal is a potential tool.

I would pay for the outline of this book.

thanks for the tip. my battery is definitely getting crushed so i might need to mirror that local logging for ios. But yes, the usefulness of it all will be the big question.
I tracked a work log in a "did" list for work and that was useful because you often need regular reporting (standups, perf reviews).
No one needs any location updates on how often I've been to the gym.

Oh nice. I feel like so many things affect my sleep including diet, mood, how long it’s been since I doom scrolled. I wonder if any of that can help you investigate.

The "me database" tracking my gps for physical location, urls visited, etc..
This way I can search through all my physical and computer activity to answer questions like: how many times did I go to the gym last year? or how many leetcode questions did I do this month?
Wrote a summary here (https://theptrk.com/2024/09/27/me-database-master-plan/)

There should be awards for this type of content. Andrew Ng series and Karpathy series as first inductees to the hall of fame.

docker ps is sometimes too wide for me to read.
like antirez (http://antirez.com/news/140) ChatGPT helped me write this script that I wouldn't have written otherwise

Nice work highlighting that "Life In The Big City" classic from the Ben Avery days

I tried to make a youtube video exploring the code and it was fairly short https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Joby-58DuBE. I think if the prompts were put front and center in the documentation it would be clear up a lot of mystery.

I built a web version of my original plaintext did.txt file. Plaintext is great for computers but I wanted a way to do a "did" ritual on iOS devices.
There is 1 user, me. I feel like all the benefits comes from using it like a journal so I never actually read the dids or built any features to query them well.
