What stood out in @dhh's keynote at Rails World were his comments obsession. The best products rarely from a team of people who are "meh" about a topic. David obsesses over Omarchy and it's reignited the excitement around desktop Linux -- among developers especially. His decades

How far down the Linux spiral am I? I'm finally learning Vim shortcuts 25 years after first touching Vi.

Installed this on my laptop this weekend. Really liking it so far! Feels very slick and fun to use. And only took 6 or 7 hours of tinkering to get my laptop keyboard to work at the disk decryption prompt! Don't know why more people don't use Linux. :)
Omarchy looks pretty slick. About to get a new PC, might be time to main Linux for the first time. https://t.co/KutQd6EAII

Turned this into a public repo: VoiceMode. F8 to start/stop, auto‑transcribes and pastes wherever you’re typing. Requires Python + an OpenAI key. https://t.co/VnKaxu6tzf

VoiceMode: a lightweight Python CLI to type by voice on Windows and macOS; toggle or push‑to‑talk; powered by OpenAI speech‑to‑text (API key required). - thomasrice/voicemode
I was looking around for a way to talk to my computer with OpenAI's voice recognition and ended up getting GPT-5 to write a bit of code. It's pretty simple, the way it works is it runs in the background and you press F8 when you want to start talking and then when you want to

Have discovered I can work on 5 separate code updates at once, and I can work on 5 separate stocks at once, but I can't mix them. If I have 2 screens on stocks and 3 on code, my brain gets frazzled by the context switching.

So after experimenting with moving a lot of my research files to text files over the weekend, I think I'm coming to the view that everything should just be in text files (in markdown) because it makes it so much easier for AI to access and edit your work. Having things stored in

Added a new audio notification for when AI has finished updating our research notes. Surprisingly useful. :) https://t.co/To2NOWlJ5u

Turns out using AI to reorganise and refactor your investment notes is really fun and satisfying.
I regularly use AI to refactor my code. I should probably try getting it to refactor my investment notes, which have historically been an up to date investment thesis document plus a lot of out of date documents on the business and meeting/earnings notes. 🤔 Anyone tried this?

Probably worth trying out. Learning how to use Git may be a new requirement for Minotaur analysts. https://t.co/FA0kZykZi8

With code there's great version control and diff tools to make it easy to review, adjust, and roll back changes. That's probably the main challenge with investment notes. Might need to start making all my investment notes in markdown files so I can use the same tools, perhaps

This may be the most useful thing I've "written" in weeks. Uses gpt-4o-mini-transcribe, which is meant to be 0.3 cents per minute, or 18c/hour of continuous talking, but obviously I'm not talking continuously whenever I use this.
