This rule is aimed at guaranteeing New Yorkers can cancel subscriptions as easily as they sign up — and stopping corporations from trapping customers. This will save New Yorkers up to $162.5 million per year. — More Perfect Union (@moreperfectunion.bsky.social) 2026-07-10T16:34:45.674Z Source link More of… ## [Do We Want This](https://www.paradeofrain.com/posts/do-we-want-this/) _2026-07-10 · Parade of Rain_ I’ve been following the discourse in AI software development, especially in the game development spaces, and the eagerness of people sharing their creations I think speaks to people’s desire to create, which I think is a good thing. Yet, they tout their ignorance as some kind of badge of honor. Them declaring they did a thing without knowing an ounce of programming, art, design, or… ## [Community](https://www.paradeofrain.com/posts/community/) _2026-06-22 · Parade of Rain_ “Community comes at the cost of convienence” is a great line. Got that quote from an interview with Brennan Lee Mulligan. People want convienence and without knowing it, they gave up what we use to have: community. I think internet modernity may have broken it. And worse still, we may have handed the keys over to big tech in the process. It wasn’t convienent to go to 5 different… ## [Code Volume](https://www.paradeofrain.com/posts/code-volume/) _2025-11-21 · Parade of Rain_ I generally have some eye for “how much code does it take” to do a specific task. One thing I’ve come to terms with while working on larger and larger systems is that the runtime code starts to become dwarfed by the test code and build system that helps make the final artifact. ## [Interruptions are the Norm](https://www.paradeofrain.com/posts/interruptions-are-the-norm/) _2025-11-18 · Parade of Rain_ As life gets more complicated, and responsibilities increase, it’s easy to chalk up the lack of progress to the constant interruptions. I sometimes have to remind myself that interruptions are the norm, not the exception. Plan accordingly, and take solace in the increasingly fewer times life gives you those long stretches of peace and quiet. And more importantly, recognize some of those… ## [Small Gasp of Fresh Air](https://www.paradeofrain.com/posts/fresh-air/) _2025-11-05 · Parade of Rain_ Tonight’s election feels like a small gasp of fresh air while still suffocating in this hellscape. The rebuke across the board in the various elections gives me hope. My political feeds on bluesky for once aren’t just utter doom and gloom. OH MY GOD, DDHQ CALLS IT AND DEMS FLIP BOTH STATEWIDE ELECTIONS IN GEORGIA — Joe (@electionsjoe.bsky.social) 2025-11-05T00:43:05.760Z 1. On… ## [Stop Falling for It](https://www.paradeofrain.com/posts/stop-falling-for-it/) _2025-10-30 · Parade of Rain_ Affinity just announced their version 3 of their graphics suites. It’s a crazy technical achievement marred by the false promise of “democratizing creative tools”. This feels straight out of the enshittification playbook. I was rooting for them years ago after Adobe went subs only. Sad to see this direction. They gave away their core product for free. Professionals just lost… ## [One Percent a Day](https://www.paradeofrain.com/posts/one-percent-a-day/) _2025-10-29 · Parade of Rain_ Focusing on the 1% improvement per day for a long time instead of some herculean effort in some small intense burst generally yields bigger and better results in the long run. I don’t know why it took so long. I think I’ve always knew it intellectually. But in the past couple of years I think I’ve finally begun to internalized it. I read Atomic Habits a while back and it put into… ## [Taking It Back, Part 1](https://www.paradeofrain.com/posts/taking-it-back/) _2025-10-23 · Parade of Rain_ I’ve been on a bit of a “get back in control of my data” streak. I’ve been experimenting with different services and software to help enable that. Some stick and some don’t quite hit the mark. One that’s had staying power for me has been Kagi. I’ve had it over a year now (August of last year) and I haven’t looked back to google search since. The few… ## [Creative Diet](https://www.paradeofrain.com/posts/creative-diet/) _2025-10-22 · Parade of Rain_ Ran into this post earlier today with a choice quote from an old movie I enjoyed: “In order to make delicious food, you must eat delicious food. The quality of ingredients is important, but one must develop a palate capable of discerning good and bad. Without good taste, you can’t make good food." - Jiro Ono in Jiro Dreams of Sushi (2011) The sentiment shared in Prasatt’s post I agree with. ## [Stocks ranked by what execs say (Sponsored)](https://crawlproof.com/a/qVk65gmw1nrI) _2025-10-22 · **Sponsored**_ Evidence-backed watchlists from earnings calls and filings, cited to real transcripts—not guesses. ## [What's Happening](https://www.paradeofrain.com/posts/whats-happening/) _2025-02-22 · Parade of Rain_ I’ve finally got the creative itch again, and I want to try one more time. What I’m going for is my most ambitious project yet. And I suppose the most liberating notion to me is failure is totally an option, but sitting on the sideline is not. ## [Adventures in Japan](https://www.paradeofrain.com/posts/adventures-in-japan/) _2025-02-21 · Parade of Rain_ Some photos I took from my Japan trip last summer ## [I'm Still Writing](https://www.paradeofrain.com/posts/im-still-writing/) _2024-12-14 · Parade of Rain_ I keep telling myself these past couple of years that I would write more. And then the blog would sit idle for the rest of the year. Turns out I have been writing more. Just not on this blog. I’ve been writing in my own Obsidian vault for years. Are any of those musing worth sharing? Maybe. But I think the fact that the only audience is me compells me to write more frequently.
