I miss a lot when I didn't have kids and could just get crazy and go down any rabbit hole for 3 days straight.

Kids are obviously cool but I miss having the time and attention for those things. I didn't lose curiosity. I just lost attention.

I need to experiment a bit more on how far we can take user stories. I mean, my usual battle has been about decoupling stories with Jira tickets or, god forbid, pull requests, but what if we consider a story done when you learn something from it?

I was recommended this beautiful talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ESOaDiv3lXA

"We estimate because it is an easy susbstitution from a calculation for value"

So I feel better about myself that post was edited using Comic Code font in vim.

I'm probably worried because I published a post in my blog that could be taken as really taking my own opinion really seriously.

I stopped tooting for a while. That's a clear sign I'm taking myself too seriously. Time to be back.

Breaking graphemes is never a good idea :D

Relaxing cup of Haskell.

Best comment I've seen in lobsters for a while.

Happy New year fediverse!!!!

Still this blows my mind in Haskell. Awesome.

I need to study more Haskell. It is fascinating how the haskell community is encouraging a model for designing software.

This is the target: https://github.com/graninas/Functional-Design-and-Architecture

Unfortunately I cannot understand that so I will start on Real World Haskell.

Just because your programming language does not have a feature it does not mean it doesn't exist. For example, in Ruby we tend to forget about interfaces because they are not explicit.

Sway forces you to pass a --my-next-gpu-wont-be-nvidia switch to start if you are on NVidia.

I love the smell of stacktraces in the morning...

I'm thinking on building a tiny text based dashboard for a spare raspberry and monitor I have at home.
