Weeknotes from 05 September 2026

If you are reading this weeknote around the day it was posted, your looking at my brand new re-designed website. Some of the goals the previous version tried to achieve were solved. Mainly, employment, haha. The linear blog only wished me to post technical, polished and finished articles. Now, the plan is non-linear. A wiki that evolves with me. The few bits of linearity you will read are these weeknotes.

I wanted the design to be truly mine. I even designed the typeface you are reading these words in myself. Though the design is my product, the infrastructure was result of an experiment. I've been trying to make more use of LLMs at work. My opinion on them has kept on getting positive, overcoming the fear of them drowing me in their flattery and bullshit. I'm still uncertain about their effects on my mental health and ability to gain skills, but them being not fun is no longer the case.

I've started creative coding again, by hand, my retreat from the all-knowing oracles. I wrote a few demo effects, I took a bit of help from the clankers with math, but I feel I've learned from the exercise.

I am invited to talk about the demoscene to an upcoming creative coding event. Initially, I was a bit concerned with me not doing justice and misguiding people as a result, but a poor talk is better than no talk.

One activist from my home city has gotten popular for his rich language. I really enjoyed listening to my native language in such richness and it reminds me of how much beautiful and complex the languages we speak are. I'm disappointed that when I was younger, I did not appreciate language as much as I do now, part of it is fault of society and pop culture that made me treat education, math and literature as something that isn't for everyone. Or another explanation could be that my appreciation for syntax of programming languages affected it.

I'm writing this weeknote at a Indie Web Club BLR session. While coming here, I noticed how our roads are full of advertisements obstructing the pretty skies. Not sure if vandalism like the graffiti artists do is a good solution, but that does come with the advantage of some beautiful art.
