Traveling by train has been pretty dope except this last part. - Missed our connection due to the first train being 3 hours late so stayed over night. - No lunch provided because A/C broke in the kitchen.- Dinner delivered 30 mins before I get off. I can’t eat it.

The @usemarblecms writing experience is pretty good. A little rough around the edges but it’s certainly a good entry in the space.

Can’t believe GPT-5 and the order of the Charts just dropped . GPT-6 and half baked reasoning is what i’m waiting for.

If Unkey ever adopts 9-9-6 workweeks it’s because Andreas and I have died and some corporate executives have taken over. Fucking enjoy your weekends and evenings with your family / friends or AI chat bot. You get ~4000 weeks on this planet… shame to miss out on some fun.

Nothing is worse than 50 people who missed their connecting amtrak train. Everyone suddenly becomes a child.

So Andreas is going on vacation next week with no internet. So I have plans to get the team too. 1. Rewrite v2 in Java 6 (we don’t need the modern features).2. Rewrite dashboard to JSP so I can FTP .war files for fun. 3. Rewrite landing page in yst for maximum performance.
