Working architect, hobbyist builder, competent tinkerer. I want to build a house for sub $100/sf.
Now the trouble is how to get them on my wife’s phone. Do I really need a paid developer account to get rid of the 7 day signing requirement?

Hypothetical:
You work a pretty standard design job. The pay is ok, benefits are minimal, the work is meticulous, the buildings are pretty good.
There’s an opportunity to ditch all that and work on the architecture staff of an institution. No more design (it’s more about shepherding external designers), pay is a li...

It is with profound sadness that I share this news: We are shutting down the weekend.
Our team set out to build a fun, irreverent break from the daily grind that encouraged each and every one of us to sleep in, mow lawns, and attend alcohol-free pre-teen birthday parties.
None of this would have been possible witho...

The city shutoff our water today because of “illegal consumption.” They said we turned our water back on illegally, except we’ve paid every bill on time (autopay) and never asked for it to be turned off. And anyway, I think I would remember walking out to the sidewalk with a 6 foot long socket wrench, lifting up the ir...

I really like that definition of integrity. The way to ameliorate failure is to accept it, acknowledge it, and make it part of who we are. We’re all going to make mistakes and we won’t get better if we pretend we are perfect.
Reminds me of blog post about mistakes and the pursuit, or not, of perfection.

Mastery of GenAI does not require being terminally online, in fact that’s probably holding you back (and stressing you out).
You need to understand how it all works. Spend your time learning about the core concepts from token prediction to the agentic loop with tool calling. Eventually let your curiosity make you go d

I was listening to the Jason Fried interview from a couple weeks ago and there’s this portion about how psychedelics enabled him to flip a problem around and look at it from the back. “The front of things are fronts, the back of things are real.”
I hate to relegate you all to the dusty, back halls of my memory, but it...

A truly humbling thing for an architect to do is to be their own client for a project. We spend so much of our time with capricious clients who throw out months of work when the algo feeds them a new Pinterest image. It can be hard to understand the thought process that leads clients to shoot themselves in the foot, bu...

Apparently there are too many prolific crop dusters in the us. Trial is already over subscribed.

My three year old daughter has been in her own bed for about a year now. In all that time she has never once gotten out on her own. She’ll dangle off the edge to try to grab something from the table next to her, or peek over the end to see the toy she dropped on the floor, but no matter how long we leave her there she ...

So, I wasn’t totally shut down. My strategy proposal now turns into a product pitch.
I need to learn a lot in a short time. If you aren’t growing, what are you even doing?

This has Fox Mulder written all over it.
BREAKING: Newly released Department of Justice documents show that investigators reviewing surveillance footage from the night of Jeffrey Epstein's death observed an orange-colored shape moving up a staircase toward the isolated, locked tier where his cell was located at approximately 10:39 p.m. on Aug. 9, 2019, which

Where’s the prediction market on how high @jrf will go?
Jokes aside, still great value!
Let's try something! I will help you improve your mini app.
I've built some of the most viral mini apps on Farcaster including the Warplets mint that broke Farcaster on a Sunday night and brought in 30k Pro subscribers and $400k in pro sub revenue in less than a week. You can see the peek stats below.

Waited another month. Still no record of the promotion I was promised, but they applied a second “one time” discount to cover the difference.
tmobile offered me a free line and free phone. I waited a month and then called to check on the promotion status:
They have no record of it, but don’t worry, they only have a record of it once it’s applied and that can take up to 2 months.
Begs the question, where do they keep the records to know which records to ap
What would be the best way to tackle this problem?
- In the course of my job I take 100+ pictures a week of a house under construction (easily 5k-10k photos total)
- I need to look at those pictures all the time as reference, to see progress, to see what’s under something else (later in construction), to catch or pre...

@thumbsup.eth I’m moving my media over to jellyfin and will mostly serve it up to an appletv. Any tips or tweaks you recommend?

I still don’t understand how a society of indebted, non-working NPCs benefits the billionaire class in the long run, but they seem bent on realizing that in the end.
We don’t want it.

will I make it through assignment 2 before the end of 2025?
Working through cs50x has been a lot of fun.
I have been messing around with html, js, python, g-code since I got my first computer but the only formal class I’ve ever taken was an “architect-focused” arduino seminar back in 2015.
Starting a project by jumping in head first is a lot of fun, but it has also been gr

Expenses for 2026:
$1,200/mo for family health insurance
$3,250/mo for 2x child care
$2,200/mo for housing
$1,000/mo for food
Every recent administration has failed to make it better for families, but this current one isn’t even pretending to give a shit. Worse, they are actively and enthusiastically trying to make i...

My pre-ferment took 12 hours yesterday (7 hours longer than I was hoping). So, late, late Christmas evening I was mixing and stretching the dough. First I over hydrated and then I forgot to put the dough in the fridge overnight.
It’s clear I was not supposed to have bread today. Tomorrow we’ll try again.
