I’ve been running a new remote development setup for the last month or so, and the goal is simple: move between all of my devices without losing my place.

This week, I joined Will Vincent and Carlton Gibson on the Django Chat podcast for DjangoCon Europe Recap + Other News.

This is my annual list of DjangoCon US talks I’d like to see.

I first got exposed to django-simple-nav while working with Josh Thomas at the Westervelt Company over the last two or three years.

If you use a Mac, you’ve probably noticed that the menu bar fills up with icons pretty quickly.

Today I learned about displayplacer - “macOS command line utility to configure multi-display resolutions and arrangements.”

My friend Trey Hunner showed me the GLM set of models before Thanksgiving.

I’ve been fighting a runaway OpenAI bill for the last few weeks.

So, picture this: you’re working at a walking desk, you’ve got a cool voice-to-text tool like MacWhisper running, and you want to control it all with just a couple of dedicated keys.

I’m hosting office hours on the next two Fridays in November.

Here are my Default Apps 2025, which builds from my Default Apps 2024 and Default Apps 2023 posts. 🤖 AI Coding Assistant: Claude Code + GitHub Copilot CLI + Codex ⚙️ Automation: Hammerspoon 🎒 Backups: Backblaze 🔖 Bookmarks: Raindrop.io 🌐 Browser: Vivaldi 📆

I checked out William Vincent’s The Secret Prompts in GitHub Copilot CLI tonight, and I wanted to share a few tips and what stood out to me.

I do not want Discord’s Nitro.

I will be in Chicago this Saturday through next week for DjangoCon US 2025 (September 8-12).

I’m hosting office hours on the next two Fridays in August.

Syncthing 2.0 was released last week, and I upgraded my Macs and my Intel NUC.

Today I came across Pieter Levels' post about “VibeOps,” a workflow that involves SSHing to a cheap VPS server and installing Claude Code directly on it.

Today, I fired up the Voices macOS app, which I occasionally use to convert blog posts or documentation text to audio files that I can take on the go.

I’ve been diving deep into AI-assisted development this summer, and I’ve collected some of the best articles I’ve found on the topic.

I’m hosting a regular afternoon edition tomorrow (Friday, May 30) to wrap up the month of May.

🤔 I struggle with most research papers, but the Vending-Bench: A Benchmark for Long-Term Coherence of Autonomous Agents was an easy read.

Today I learned about pdftoppm, a simple CLI tool that can convert each page of a PDF into separate image files.

I miss Visual Basic.

This Friday, I’m hosting a morning edition of my office hours, and here is my schedule for the rest of May: Friday, May 9th, 2025, 8am to 10:30am - 🌄 Early edition (Time.is link for CT) Friday, May 16th, 2025: No office hours.
