A blog about everything by Jack Baty 👋

🗓️ Tuesday, February 18, 2025

I’m typing this in iA Writer because I read a blog post. See how susceptible I am to the opinions of others?

10 minutes later: Back in Emacs. Other editors are fun for a minute, but nope.


I’ll be honest here: if being a supermarket janitor paid as well as being a developer at a large consultancy firm that I won’t name, I’d go back to cleaning toilets in a heartbeat. Software is never really done, especially in an “agile” shop, but least I can tell when the toilet’s clean.

Replace “developer” with “project/product manager” and same.


I would prefer to write separate posts for everything, but I don’t often have the patience necessary for putting thoughts together well enough. So, I keep pouring them out here in journal entries. Good enough for who it’s for.
