This is mostly an excuse to say I’ve tweaked the design of the site a little bit and I’m happy with said tweaks. There may be more tweaks coming but time has been scarce as of late so I need to put a bow on this little iteration.| daniel.industries

Penn, in his 4th year of the 5-year arch program at Arkansas, attended this earlier this summer, and described it as life-changing. I cognitively understood the factors involved, but getting to watch this video about it brought it home emotionally. I was filled with joy and hope. And I was holding it together until the end, when they showed the stake with his name on it being driven into the ground. I sobbed tears of joy.

I added a section to /writing: Short Fiction on the Blog. These are all the posts tagged #fiction, and some of my favorite posts here. Going back through them, cleaning them up when necessary, removing some that were only ironically tagged fiction…it was a joy.

Those organizers were unable to continue, so it was picked up by (apparently) three organizers: David Comer of Camp of Lamps, Chris Tolley of Driveway Series, and Andrew Willis of Holland Racing, and became the Oatmeal Classic.| daniel.industries
AI as a tool for developing software can be very useful in the hands of a reasonably experienced developer who understands the business, principles of good software design, and knows deep in their soul that the best code is that which is never written.| daniel.industries

On May 25th I used Claude Code for the first time. I’ve used GitHub Copilot for some time, but I’d never used a “coding agent” with any success. I’d tried one with an online IDE and it failed so thoroughly so quickly I lasted maybe three prompts. I’d tried Copilot in agent mode, although to be fair never from zero.| daniel.industries
