More and more companies switch back to the offices ditching remote work… and that’s good. At first I was sad that things have changed so fast, but now I think it’s OK. It’s OK because we’ll have less bullshit companies to filter out.


My new plan is to fully switch to Go. I’m tired of “javascript-(typescript)-everywhere”. And to celebrate this move I resurrected Terminal Theme and shipped v4 along with Terminal.css. Let’s see where I will end up with this. A lot to learn. But learning is good, right?

Terminal Theme v4

Another lesson learned. When you spot something odd in your work environment and if it’s slowly starting to escalate, get the fuck out of it as fast as you can. Fuck money, protect your morale and self-respect.


Geohot was right: “don’t buy from Sony”.

I love my WH-1000MX3, but if you want to buy original replacement ear pads for these you have to pay $300.

Like what? Brand new MX4 costs less than that. How is it even possible Sony?

Having Bose headphones you can buy their accessories for a reasonable price even if you need something from 2016.

With the replacement ear pads from Amazon, performance has worsened, even after (not) having fun with the equalizer…

This is very sad. Sony probably lost a customer.


Finally beat Disco Elysium. It took me 34h30min which is longer than the average main story + side quests gameplay. And to my surprise, I only unlocked 6 of 45 achievements 🤔

The game is wonderful. Visuals, audio and music are one of a kind. I liked it so much that I’m a little sad that it won’t be any sequel, but in the end it would be a tough task to figure out how the story could go — so maybe it’s a good decision.


Dune: Part Two is AMAZING! This is the kind of movie that should only be watched in a cinema. Well done Denis Villeneuve and Greig Fraser!


Long time, no see! I have been in a read-only mode for the last couple of weeks, and a few things happened on the Internet I follow:

  • Apple nerfed PWA for EU (fuck you Tim Apple) and… they have reverted its previous state back — classic Apple move.
  • DHH complains about Apple (you again?) and learned that there are plenty of possibilities to have software and hardware outside of Apple’s control. Yes, I’m talking about PCs, Windows, Linux, Android, VS Code, Neovim (!!!), etc. I’m kind of on his side, but come on… All this stuff has been around forever. Don’t act like it’s all new — I know what are you trying to do.
  • Geohot has advanced in his tiny machines’ production. Even if I’m not there yet with all-things-AI, they look awesome, and you can feel this retro computing vibe.

Other than that:

  • I really like Carhart t-shirts. I bought one for a test, and it is even better than I thought it could be.
  • Garmin smartwatch can be a good replacement for Apple Watch.
  • Linux can be fun when it works.
  • Logitech MX-3 seems to be too heavy after 3 years of using it.
  • I gave AirPods Pro 2 a second chance, and they sound better than I remember. You only need to turn off noise canceling when you are listening to the music.
  • I think I won’t buy another iPhone. Pixel 8 with GrapheneOS seems to be a good alternative. A journey ahead…
  • Finally learned tmux’s most important shortcuts.
  • I found Counter-Strike 2 boring and soulless. Maybe it is time to quit for a good (I still remember playing my first CS with friends in 2002).

How fast is your shell? I asked myself this question a few months ago, after one of George Hotz’s streams when I realized that his terminal shows a prompt in the blink of an eye… I was like: Wait what? Mine takes forever to do this…

I spent an hour or two to figure everything out and then lazy loaded all the stuff I needed for my projects. I don’t remember how slow was my shell at the beginning, but now I get ~20ms. It’s fast again!


Here are my top 5 albums of 2023:

  1. Depeche Mode — Memento Mori
  2. Paul Haslinger — Halt and Catch Fire Vol 1
  3. Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross — Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem
  4. Various Artists — Wired Thoughts
  5. Paul Haslinger — Halt and Catch Fire Vol 2

To be honest, I’m a little surprised about the list, but data doesn’t lie (I guess).
