Irina Lozovaya really knows how to take portraits. Amazing.
I wished to have lived a free spirited life like hers.
Archive Tooling for Visual Studio Code has just become awesome.
Democratizing in terms of power is never to make all powerful, it is to remove the power from those who have it.
Today someone complimented me on my Esterbrook nook. Turned out he was the owner of the company that imports all of these fountain pens and their accessories.
We made friends, and he was a very nice guy. After some time I understood he is a very famous blogger on the matter of the phantom pens, which I had seen before but didn’t know.
And so I guess this is some kind of an elite circle detecting each other. I hope it was something like that. It was fun.
Today I saw Trump being entrapped in his circle of admiration. I’m worried that my being alone can also contribute to something horrible as that.

Visual Studio Code tooling I have been making for the Archive is awesome now, but it required manual rebuild of the index. I made it watch for the files and incorporate a TypeScript compiler immutable data structure that only rebuilds the changed files and incrementally. Of course this was overkill for Archive , but given the agentic development of these days it was possible…

So given the auto complete now works perfectly, I also added navigation providers to the visual studio code being able to hover on Archive handles and seeing their content. This makes it full language support. It also has the go to definition that opens the file for the handle.
