Wait so the word 'brackish' survives in modern english, but its root 'brack' is dead? That's silly.

Bring back brack.

I'm..... not sure that's true.

This cup of coffee is over-steeped, bitter, burnt, and tastes like it was poured out of a jug by a chain-smoking waitress at at a worn out 50s diner. And I love it.

Don't get me wrong I do love a light roast pour-over or a high-quality espresso, but there's something about a good "bad coffee" that warms my heart; it's not trying so hard.

Sunday reading

The New York Times describing Pythagoras.

My life these days:

1. Write 3-10 lines of code
2. Commit and push
3. SSH into server
4. Run deploy script
5. "Does it look ok now?"

An important takeaway.

I said something like this a few weeks ago, but I think (through all the doom and gloom) the Web truly has gotten better in the past decade.

• Mastodon gaining real traction as decentralized social media
• Blogging & RSS still thrive, though more niche (substack, patreon, etc)
• Signal provides encrypted messaging and is open source & non-profit

And that's not even mentioning new tech like CRDTs that will make the Web even better. #optimism

A perfect day in San Diego.

It’s clear, sunny, 70F, and green.

More context later in the week.

(Yes it’s a good thing, don’t worry)

Just had coffee.

Want more coffee. ☕️
