Week 2654
All-but-completed another key hire for the team this week, and another starts tomorrow. So the post-holiday optimism continues. Even better, my calendar is pretty calm so catching up on the holiday applicant wave hasn’t been overwhelming and I anticipate being able to really sit and focus in the near future.
I’m pleased to see the good habits that I gained (and Shannon maintained) over holiday continue. The temptation to go dive into my RSS reader or Bluesky has been replaced with a drive to write more code. And if I keep up this pace with indoor cycling, I will feel very good about the outdoor season.
But, let me not kid myself, Mardi Gras is coming.

I find it worrying how often Github Copilot offers to complete my Rust database access code using .execute(), which is a method on the very popular sqlx crate, which I am not using. It feels like I’m constantly being judged by a dumb popular kid for making a less popular choice (in my current case, cornucopia).
Our LLM friends could really regress us to the mean more subtly than media consolidation already does.
