this is boring but I always save outputs of the work I am doing especially now using a lot of AI to help with code.
for eg, I can simply extract a csv file when I click these data points on this chart. this actually looked fine to me, but after digging it has a major flaw in the calculation and its not how i wanted it designed.
its not enough to just look at it and think its fine. you really have to understand from point a to b whats being done on the backend and how it reached that figure.

right in time to hit the gym.

sunk a bunch of time opening a business account only to get told that they changed the offerings and can no longer trade perps there, only old accounts can.
gg, thanks .

i used to appreciate more the efficiency that large cities have, like NYC fitting in almost the whole population of Portugal.
but i've been appreciating a lot more the artistic and just beautiful randomness of old buildings in cities like Lisbon. idk, efficiency isn't all.

can't prove it, but i feel like there's a time coming where there will be a premium on custom/hand made stuff.

the small idiosyncrasies will shine more than the text that appears to have no flaws. i enjoy reading a long-form text full of errors these days.
