It’s been a great experience so far. Most of my application functionality lives in Rust and I find the language a joy to use (at least so far). One of the downsides of Tauri compared to Electron is that there isn’t nearly as much documentation and discussion around good patterns and best… ## [Ethics of Generative AI](https://til.io/posts/2026/05/29/ethics-of-using-llms/) _2026-05-29 · til.io / jesse tolj_ The other month I wrote more generally about how I’m navigating AI hype and an uncertain future . I fell into the trap that a lot of these “my take on LLMs” posts do and I didn’t touch on ethics there. In retrospect, I should have written this one first. I will go back and link it at the top of the previous one. Let me preface this by saying that I think you can make a… ## [How I'm Navigating an Uncertain Future](https://til.io/posts/2026/03/16/how-im-navigating-an-uncertain-future/) _2026-03-16 · til.io / jesse tolj_ Update I’ve added a post about the ethics of all this stuff, which I really should have written first. You can read it here: Ethics of Generative AI . I guess this is my “thoughts on LLMs” post that everyone in the software industry seems to eventually make. I’ve never found those particularly helpful to read, so I’m going to try to approach things from a slightly… ## [Owning My Technology. How Am I Doing?](https://til.io/posts/2025/12/05/owning-my-technology-how-am-i-doing/) _2025-12-05 · til.io / jesse tolj_ This week I came across an article about Kohler being able to access supposedly E2E encrypted user data . Yes, the bathroom appliances Kohler. And yes, I would guess that the user data includes pictures of people’s poop. When I first went “online” over 30 years ago (by dialing up a local BBS from my PC) that is not a series of sentences that I could have imagined writing in my… ## [Multi-Pane Dev Tasks With Mise and WezTerm](https://til.io/posts/2025/11/19/multi-pane-dev-tasks-with-mise-and-wezterm/) _2025-11-19 · til.io / jesse tolj_ Update I’ve since updated this approach to use a small wrapper script so it’s a lot more ergonomic. It now looks something like this: mise.toml \[ tasks . dev \] description = "Run development tasks in WezTerm panes" run = """ wez-open-in-panes " mise run build-dev " " mise run pail " " mise run queue " """ View in my dotfiles repo I’ve finally transitioned all of my projects to… ## [A Week Without Screens](https://til.io/posts/2025/10/28/a-week-without-screens/) _2025-10-29 · til.io / jesse tolj_ As I mentioned in my last post , I left my job as the Engineering Lead at a small company a couple of weeks ago. For my entire tenure there, it was pretty hard to completely disconnect from technology. I had worked incredibly hard to get our infrastructure to a point of boring stability, but there is always a small chance that something you couldn’t plan for would go wrong and cause an… ## [I Make Friends at Work](https://til.io/posts/2025/10/17/i-make-friends-at-work/) _2025-10-17 · til.io / jesse tolj_ Just this week, I left a company that I’ve been with for nearly four years. As I wound down my role there over the last few months, it had me thinking a lot about the takeaways from my time there and what things I value in a job. I think I’ve boiled it down to three things: Learning new things. Helping others succeed and improve. Creating real human connections with people. Even in… ## [Neovim Syntax Highlighting and Formatting for Caddy](https://til.io/posts/2025/09/26/neovim-syntax-highlighting-and-formatting-for-caddy/) _2025-09-26 · til.io / jesse tolj_ I’ve been working with Caddyfiles a lot recently and Neovim doesn’t handle syntax highlighting or formatting them out of the box. Fortunately, it’s very easy to get set up with the help of the nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter and stevearc/conform.nvim packages. First, you’ll need to set up the filetype. I use a .caddy extension for external imports. init.lua -- Filetypes… ## [Things I (Happily) Pay For](https://til.io/posts/2025/08/25/things-i-pay-for/) _2025-08-25 · til.io / jesse tolj_ I think it’s important to support good software and good people. This post is just a list of the things that I pay for and a brief explanation of why. Obviously, I pay for more things than this, but I don’t like those things as much as these things. I update this periodically. Last updated Jan 21, 2026. Donations WRIR One of my local community radio stations. I spent a good chunk of my… ## [Switching From Laravel Valet to Caddy and Mise (2 of 2)](https://til.io/posts/2025/08/05/switching-from-valet-to-caddy-and-mise-2/) _2025-08-05 · til.io / jesse tolj_ This is a continuation of a previous post that covers setting up Caddy. Caddy did a great job handling serving local development apps with SSL and simple, explicit configuration. For that it has completely replaced Laravel Valet in my workflow. I still needed a way to map run-time versions of various languages and build tools to project directories. Previously I used a mix of tools to handle this.… ## [Sync bookmarks across every browser (Sponsored)](https://crawlproof.com/a/5Ym2t141s03z) _2025-08-05 · **Sponsored**_ Two-way sync across Chrome, Firefox and Safari; built-in ad and tracker blocker. ## [Switching From Laravel Valet to Caddy and Mise (1 of 2)](https://til.io/posts/2025/08/01/switching-from-valet-to-caddy-and-mise-1/) _2025-08-01 · til.io / jesse tolj_ Why Switch? I’ve been using Laravel Valet for local development for a long time. It does a great job at what it was designed for - running a secure site proxy for local development and managing PHP versions on a per-site basis. I found it less ideal for projects that needed more complex proxy configuration, which often required editing nginx configuration files manually. I also still needed…
