Happy new year everyone! This month’s update is late (sorry!) because I started the year getting absolutely wiped by the flu. Apparently it’s been a bad season. I can tell you it’s no fun to have, but thankfully I’m back on my feet now.
In the past I’ve considered preparing content, so that if I have an off-day I can still post on schedule. But on balance I prefer to write off the cuff. I think what I come up with in the moment is usually more interesting and concrete: let’s say more timely, if not always on time.
My other distraction over the holidays has been throwing together a little word game called Scramble. It’s mostly just for fun, though I also wanted to get some experience in frontend tools so that I know what I’m doing (at least a bit) before trying things like Raven’s notebook interface. Handily, LLMs are good at porting between different frameworks, which makes experiments quick.
