So, I have goals I’m working towards.

Some of them I enjoy working against, others, I only enjoy getting closer to the goals. It is called discipline.

When people get surprised by me not liking or enjoying most of what I spend my time doing, I just shrug and ignore them.

Some of what I do is because I enjoy it. But not everything. I’d rather put in the work and fail than being one of those who die with regrets about not trying.

But this is the important thing. I don’t care if it is perfect today or any day. I just care that when I look at weeks and months I move closer to where I want to get to.

I’m the kind of person a lot of neurotypical people struggle a lot with. Because unless it is the intent, as in a joke or whatever, I don’t speak or write in a way where you get anything useful from reading between the lines.

Especially when it is in writing.

Plus I will typically sensor myself a lot either because of clarity or avoid getting into trouble. If I don’t it either means I’m impulsive or more likely that I trust the people present.

Anyways.

Here is a thing that always drive me nuts that so many people get mixed up: the difference between referring to a person versus something a person did.

If I say something you did was dumb, does not mean I think you are dumb.

I have no idea why I keep playing around with it.

Probably because of how stupid fast it is. But I don’t love how it looks; especially the tabs.

It have been a on and off project for years at this point to look at it. Unlike most other non iTerm terminals I haven’t dropped it yet.

I love this app, and use it all the time when I heard something I want to checkout on a podcast but it isn’t in the show notes and the podcast don’t provide their own transcript.

It lets you transcribe from audio on device. Can be slow as fuck though.

There are a lot of clever UX ideas that drive me up the fucking wall.

Like for example, when some validation error or auto correct are triggered while I am filling it out — especially when it is a multi-field value like an address or date time field.

2 minutes ago it was one of the iOS apps that “fixed” it when I tried to set the time “something happened” in the future, and reset it because that is invalid but I just happened to change the time before I changed the date.

It continues to amaze me how bad the UI for managing widgets on iOS is. And all the stuff that is missing.

• You can’t add an empty stack
• There is no state for your last location (this also applies to the Shortcuts app by the way)
• You can’t turn a widget into a stack
• I’d also love to be able to select a bunch of similar widgets and turn them into one too
• Or that I can’t select an app and tell it to only show me the widgets of a size

I can’t believe I have to write this.

If you make an app that has any kind of data, make sure it can be exported, and imported; plus a way to clear all data in it.

Now this is the crucial part. Make sure this export is done in a form that other apps and tools can work with. Ideally this means JSON plus exporting any binary data as files; like images etc.

How is that we still don’t have good ways of dealing with data structures in Shortcuts?!

It is so weird, that there isn’t some simple map and filter functions in there.

Most of the time when some new tech thing comes out I don’t give a shit. But I’d not mind if I got it for free.

The AR/VR crap is different. I do not give a fuck. If I got it for free, I’d sell or see what kind of trade in value I’d get for it.

Could not care less.
