I think my philosophy when making software is that it should work for people with zero money or no bank account / credit card.

I know it's not a popular mindset to be in since money and profit is everything in the tech world.

I think it comes from growing up as a kid with no disposable income or access to anything but my shitty computer.

I'd rather support people with almost nothing than people with latest and greatest tech gizmos and spare cash for subscription services. 😅

Every time I open GitHub there is a chance it will be worse than it was previously. For the last few days all sourced code files look like this. But hey, there is a Copilot button!

Socially progressive, code dependency conservative.

it feels hard to talk about how to write websites that feel manageable to maintain with like 0.5% of my brain because there are a thousand tiny and not always logical decisions like "use bash scripts to run my local dev server, because then it's `bash scripts/run.sh` no matter what programming language the project is in"

or "refuse to use any database other than SQLite because I had a bad experience operating Postgres once and I feel more comfortable with sqlite"

i like to make websites and I've been slowly realizing that my requirements for making websites might be a little weird

- I have maybe 20 websites (mostly static but not all)
- I want to spend basically 0 time maintaining them, maybe 5 minutes every 2 months at most
- I need to be able to ignore a project for 3 years and then come back and be able to develop it easily

i feel like all of this stuff makes my choice of tech stack different than if I worked on one site full-time

Updating my arch machine is like sorting through a pile of junk that's been accumulating all year. I should really be doing it more often. 😅

@mauve you could also bring little presents to give them, like seasonal vegetables or a home-made jam, I hear if you do that enough people will want to marry you 🤔

Had more mixed success with meatspace human interaction today. I think next time I should aim to ve in the same place for multiple days and revisit people to build rapport over time.

Wish my TTS for listening to books would speak the punctuation so I could understand wtf this code actually looks like.
