      Today was my 3rd watch of The Wind Rises; which isnโ€™t exactly my top Ghibli movie but has so many tiny, tragic moments that reflect what itโ€™s felt like trying to work amidst all ofโ€ฆthis

      I still enjoy writing some creative code by hand (or touching up AI content), but damn it feels good to have AI deal with all the admin:
      
      - creating worktrees
      - stacked diffs 
      - code reviewer
      - ticket created & populated 
      - resources linked to ticket
      - pr reviewers / ticket subs
      - status updates

      Interesting to see this 1947 test screen with Marlon Brando for the film "Rebel Without a Cause." Brando, of course, would later epitomize mid-century American masculinity. He was 23-years-old here.

      It reminds me of the early DHTML era, or when mashups were hot, except this feels less vulnerable to capture. The PLC news on top of the IETF stuff is promising.

      Kiddo's first night in his "big bed" and that means I'm just up, waiting for if/when he bails. And he likely won't so my bad sleep will be another of many, many wins for my unnecessary anxiety ๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿซ
