👍 David starts his email with, "The real solution to productivity isn’t about doing more–it’s about doing less while focusing on what truly matters."

He is promoting the 2025 release of his updated Productivity Field Guide.

I worked through this last year, and it was wonderful. The concepts have stuck with me, and I look forward to paging through the new content and updates.

Browse the table of contents and try out some of the samples.

👨‍💻 parameterized_test is a utility for defining eminently readable parameterized (or example-based) tests in Elixir's ExUnit, inspired by example tests in Cucumber.

I have been using this in a few projects and had a PR merged today that updated the README to show how to configure the new sigil formatter.

Woot. 🎉

🔗 “The TikTok ban, the Musk Twitter takeover, the Facebook moderation policy changes, the Republicans’ rapidly intensifying crackdowns on speech... let these be the proof you needed to move anything you care about online to a space you control.

Digital sovereignty is more important than ever.”

🔗 This is really fucking dense, but having a job that sells to government I tried to give it a scan.

Interesting to see some specifics tech like WebAuthn mentioned. https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/presidential-actions/2025/01/16/executive-order-on-strengthening-and-promoting-innovation-in-the-nations-cybersecurity/

🔗 “The world has enough critics. What it needs are builders who can see problems clearly without being paralyzed by them, people who can maintain hope without succumbing to naïveté, and people who can engage with reality while working to improve it.”

I could benefit from putting more weight on the scales of creativity over cynicism in my own life. 👍

🦷 “Before performing a radiographic examination, dentists should perform a clinical examination of the patient and consider the patient’s medical and dental history. In addition, when previous radiographs and images exist, a good-faith effort should be made to obtain them. CBCT examinations should not be merely routine and should not be for screening purposes.”

They do X-rays based on a calendar, first thing as you enter the building; not based on evidence. Fuck that.

🎮 Got Bluetooth working(needed a new driver), a PS5 controller, and Red Dead 2 working on my new gaming PC.

Ultra everything and 4K with 90fps. It is fucking amazing.

Did a few quests. Not sure if I want to mod it up or just play vanilla.

🔗 “Many applications reduce UI elements to their most basic form to save space and reduce clutter, for example, by removing text labels on buttons. This can easily create confusion for all users. My grandfather couldn’t figure out how to send an email because the “send” button was not called out in any way, it didn’t look like a button so it was hard to find on the screen.”

I really despise icon only buttons for this reason too.

👨‍💻 2024 Life:

Code all day in my Microsoft editor (VS Code), while getting suggestions from my Microsoft AI (Copilot), before pushing up my changes to the Microsoft code repository (GitHub).

When it all gets to be too much escape to my Microsoft MMO (Warcraft).

🎧📕 There are tropes, and then there is the alcoholic Irish ex-cop/detective investigating the suspicious suicide of a young girl in my current audiobook.

The voice actor also has an authentic Irish brogue, which is enjoyable.

📸 A quick selfie of me in my tux before the wedding on Friday.

I'll share a few more when the official photos start rolling in.

The wedding was fantastic. Sister was a very happy bride. I gave her away without tripping.

I think I got the trophy for crying. 🥹
