Good morning. 🦆🦆🦆

7 April 2025

Here’s a thought: for every inaction, there seems to be an equal and opposite inaction. Take my home security system, for example. For a couple of weeks now, it has been alerting me that a break-glass sensor needs a new battery. The replacement battery? I’ve had it all along. In fact, if I glance over my left shoulder, I can see it sitting on the corner of my other desk with three of its companions. My failure to spend five minutes replacing the battery has resulted in precisely nothing happening. Well, except for the security company calling to upsell me on new equipment—a generous offer I politely declined. What they didn’t offer, of course, was to replace the battery themselves. Maybe today’s the day I’ll finally take care of it.

Ah, the burning desire to warn your past self with a listicle of regrets 😂. After a year of toil, you finally realize building the “world's fastest autorouter” in #Typescript was just an elaborate way to procrastinate on actually routing circuits. 🚀 What a revelation!
