ADHD and hacking an ever growing todo list
Are you familiar with FOMO? Surely. After using TickTick for long enough and judging my stats, I've noticed I was efficient at solving tasks I focused on, even if I was not always focusing on the most important ones. Yet I have this feeling of being overwhelmed by my self imposed todo list. Whatever I [ ]
Bouillon d’os
Depuis quelques mois déjà nous avons adopté ce rituel du bouillon d'os au petit matin, bien avant de manger ou de prendre son café. Et c'est devenu un plaisir facile, bon pour la santé et idéal pour démarrer la journée. Je recommande 😉
Slice the backlog
Je souffre de TDAH et c'est bien galère de prioriser des tâches plutôt que d'autres, tant la passion de tout faire est présente. Parfois pourtant on se retrouve submergé. Après avoir lu les 4 premiers tomes de la BD Samurai, le cycle de l'empereur et du treisième phophète donc, je me suis remis à gribouiller, [ ]

Scrobbling RTBF live radios to Last.fm and ListenBrainz with userscripts
Scrobbling RTBF live radios like Classic21 to LastFM and ListenBrainz shouldn't be this hard. After failed attempts with Web Scrobbler, I built my own solution—hacky, minimalist, and Tampermonkey-powered.

Things nerds commonly have, but I don’t
Inspiration: https://forkingmad.blog/things-people-commonly-have-but-i-dont/ In a conversation recently with a colleague I casually mentioned I didn't have something. He was shocked... "but how then do you..." was the response. So here's my list of don't haves
Lazy coding done right
When performing a task, even if it's a one-off, I believe it's a mistake to approach it with a short-term vision. We might solve many problems just for one occasion, but that's the nature of any project; each one is unique and happens only once. Should we really ship it with a short-term vision and [ ]
Empathy in Partnership

Piracy is now the rule, not the exception
This is so to the point: OpenAI Furious DeepSeek Might Have Stolen All the Data OpenAI Stole From Us (404media.co), thanks to Y. C. for sharing. The question: if Meta and OpenAI are allowed to steal copyrighted content and make money out of it and out of any legal consent, and if all the LibGen/ZLib/Anna's [ ]

Prompting tips for maintenance tasks – Part 2
This blog is also a living document for myself so I can improve and reference this working pattern in the future. Model selection If using ChatGPT for coding tasks, especially maintenance tasks, opt for o1, other models are crap and will hallucinate or forget more of the original code. Avoiding regressions If the goal is [ ]
A daily RSS summary for indieblog.page
As a gift to the community of content curators and RSS addicts, here is a simple script to generate a daily summary of all indie blogs visible in indieblog.page, because their RSS feeds only expose a few random posts while my FOMO obligates me to try to get them all 😅. The script that resulted [ ]
Resilience
There are days when I find myself completely unable to do anything productive because I’m trapped in a very negative, depressive state of mind. I’ve noticed that external triggers often amplify these feelings—if someone criticizes me and I sense there’s truth to it, it can hit me hard. I’ll retreat deep inside myself, erasing any [ ]

Soulless code
Code can be more than just logic - it can carry a piece of us. But what happens when the code we use isn’t truly ours? Do we gain freedom or lose something human?
Writing
Today is international logic day, and I really want to read logicomix comic strip someone offered me for Christmas. I realize as a logician that I can perfectly organize some stuff and as ADHD I feel completely stuck with some tasks yet to have my attention drained by completely unrelated events. Often the fix or [ ]

Make your own universe
A good house is one you have contributed to build or improve. A good version control system has a good UX and you are done learning it in your first day. Git is far behind. A good static site generator should not force you to read hundred documentation page beyond HTML/CSS. A good service or [ ]

Typing fast is not so important
In response to https://www.rugu.dev/en/blog/on-typing-fast. HN comments. What to say on this ? I like typing and feeling productive. But the two are unrelated. TLDR; We need to slow down a bit, as programmers, and as technologists. I believe there are virtues to typing fast, for the impatient programmer, for the prolific coder, for the over [ ]
Markdown: a text adventure
Seriously I wonder what is wrong with us, computer scientists and computer hobbyists. I thought I loved markdown, that I needed to keep telling the world about it, but what renders in Gitea is not rendering the same in GitHub, nor in Obsidian. I'm likely idiot, let's find out.

Sometimes, especially at night, I can't help but I feel the need to hunt down a topic and explore any link in my way til I reach an answer or a dead end. Sometimes I publish those findings in Shaarli. This time it was about researching a minimalist tool for blogging, something like bashblog or [ ]

Quick Bugs, Slow Fixes
The 🐢 engineer has good guts but often seems slow compared to the 🐰 engineer. The 🐰 engineer is quick at decision and gives impression of progress to the product owner often disappointed with the slow pace of change of the 🐢. The 🐢 is busy battle testing the draft he's about to integrate in [ ]
Effective content curation
I went up with this workflow that seem to pass the test of time and I'm sharing it with you :
What it breaks and what it brings
Changes are not good or bad and not every success means perfection. Some will revolutionize your habits, your workflow. The good or bad perception of the change depends surely on your own experience, your functioning. Since recently I've turned my smartphone and laptop screens to grayscale. Is it any good or better ? Sure, for [ ]
