I highly recommend taking a look at Naomi’s great introductory post : First of all, this program, as I’m conceiving it today, is essentially intended for people who have… ## [BrocanteHome Values, Twenty-One Years Later](https://brocantealison.substack.com/p/brocantehome-values-twenty-one-years) _2026-08-04 · Alison May · BrocanteHome_ Re-Visiting the Archives: No:1 ## [Revolutionary Workout](https://mattharwood.com/2026/08/04/revolutionary-workout.html) _2026-08-04 · Matt Harwood_ ## [Collect Open Source Legends (Sponsored)](https://crawlproof.com/a/pFhJyCKbX62i) _2026-08-04 · **Sponsored**_ Open-licensed art, limited foil trading packs, and optional on-chain mints. ## [(untitled)](https://mattharwood.com/2026/08/02/lead-by-thought.html) _2026-08-02 · Matt Harwood_ Lead by thought ## [Housekeeper's Diary](https://brocantealison.substack.com/p/housekeepers-diary-d21) _2026-07-31 · Alison May · BrocanteHome_ Parcels of Better News, and Spoonfuls of Clarity ## [What's your earliest internet memory?](https://mattharwood.com/2026/07/31/whats-your-earliest-internet-memory.html) _2026-07-31 · Matt Harwood_ I came across an article from the Library of Congress where they asked attendees at a conference what their earliest memory of the internet is. I love this! I can’t be entirely sure it’s the earliest , but very, very early on I remember a friend helping me create a Hotmail account, and being utterly terrified for a few months that a huge bill was coming for my Mum. I had no concept of… ## [One more notes app](https://mattharwood.com/2026/07/29/one-more-notes-app.html) _2026-07-29 · Matt Harwood_ Finding a process that works for you should come before finding tools. Start with what you need. Tools come with their way of working. Understand the way it works, and what works for you , before thinking you’ve found the tool that will change your life. At least, that’s what I try and remember 😁 ## [Less Internet for Matt: Week One](https://mattharwood.com/2026/07/25/less-internet-for-matt-week.html) _2026-07-25 · Matt Harwood_ Week one of focusing on not being sucked-in to the internet as much has gone well. I’ve thought about writers and video authors that I respect, and either do - or want to - read everything they write. A short list that it takes a lot to get an entry on to. I have then added these, and only these, to Reeder which gives me a single, gorgeous space to keep up to date with the ideas and topics that… ## [The Domestic Almanac #printable](https://brocantealison.substack.com/p/the-domestic-almanac-printable) _2026-07-24 · Alison May · BrocanteHome_ Brought to You By The Office of Beautiful Things ## [Week Three: Using Desire As Compass](https://brocantealison.substack.com/p/week-three-using-desire-as-compass) _2026-07-20 · Alison May · BrocanteHome_ How to Be a Glorious Mess ## [Week Three: Desire As Compass](https://brocantealison.substack.com/p/week-three-desire-as-compass) _2026-07-20 · Alison May · BrocanteHome_ How To Be a Glorious Mess ## [Week Two: Something To Say, Something To Do](https://brocantealison.substack.com/p/week-two-something-to-say-something) _2026-07-20 · Alison May · BrocanteHome_ How To Be a Glorious Mess ## [Week Two: The Jamaica Kinkaid Deep Dive](https://brocantealison.substack.com/p/week-two-the-jamaica-kinkaid-deep) _2026-07-20 · Alison May · BrocanteHome_ How To Be a Glorious Mess ## [8.1% APY Plus Free Stock (Sponsored)](https://crawlproof.com/a/aXb7lLlPGPvH) _2026-07-20 · **Sponsored**_ Claim 8.1% APY and up to $1,030 in SK hynix and Nvidia stock. ## [Week Two: Choosing Strategic Neglect](https://brocantealison.substack.com/p/week-two-choosing-strategic-neglect) _2026-07-20 · Alison May · BrocanteHome_ How To Be a Glorious Mess ## [Week Two: The Art of Strategic Neglect](https://brocantealison.substack.com/p/week-two-the-art-of-strategic-neglect) _2026-07-20 · Alison May · BrocanteHome_ How To Be a Glorious Mess ## [Week One: Something To Say, Something To Do #printables](https://brocantealison.substack.com/p/week-one-something-to-say-something) _2026-07-20 · Alison May · BrocanteHome_ How to Be a Glorious Mess ## [Week One: The Nora Ephron Deep Dive](https://brocantealison.substack.com/p/week-one-the-nora-ephron-deep-dive) _2026-07-20 · Alison May · BrocanteHome_ How to Be a Glorious Mess ## [Week One: The Performance Audit](https://brocantealison.substack.com/p/week-one-the-performance-audit) _2026-07-20 · Alison May · BrocanteHome_ How To Be a Glorious Mess ## [(untitled)](https://mattharwood.com/2026/07/14/music-produces-the-goods-again.html) _2026-07-14 · Matt Harwood_ 6 Music produces the goods, again.

As simple as it needs to be. Dave talked about it for a few minutes on a podcast . I keep having thoughts around just how many things can be reduced to a “fancy outliner”… ## [(untitled)](https://mattharwood.com/2026/07/13/currently-reading-the-year-of.html) _2026-07-13 · Matt Harwood_ Currently reading: The Year of Less by Cait Flanders 📚 ## [I'm just as hooked as the rest of them](https://mattharwood.com/2026/07/11/im-just-as-hooked-as.html) _2026-07-11 · Matt Harwood_ I’ve taken a smug pride in not being algorithmically captured, my senses rendered useless scrolling TikTok, or Facebook. Scroll with no headphones on in a public place and I will be instantly enraged. But I think it’s time to finally admit the slight, or indeed large, projection going on here. I might not flick through influencers, but I refresh Hacker News and email habitually (in the literal… ## [Thin Margins](https://leaguedonation.com/field-notes?post=thin-margins) _2026-06-28 · Field Notes — League Donation_ Bo Nix dropped back to pass more often than any quarterback in football, and the season around it looked like an arrival: just under 4,000 yards, 25 touchdowns, fourteen wins, the top seed in the conference, a second-year quarterback whose team finished a game short of the Super Bowl. On a per-dropback basis he ranked fourteenth of thirty-two qualified passers. Both pictures are his, and the… ## [Stop CI/CD & Supply-Chain Attacks (Sponsored)](https://crawlproof.com/a/G39A5jCCngn5) _2026-06-28 · **Sponsored**_ Per-PR: 17 CI/CD checks and package malware scans with inline Check Run findings. ## [Full-Time, Underfed](https://leaguedonation.com/field-notes?post=full-time-underfed) _2026-06-25 · Field Notes — League Donation_ Jameson Williams played nine of every ten Detroit snaps in 2025, every game, the whole season. He was thrown to six times a game. The offense wanted him on the field for almost everything it ran and fed him like a complementary piece once the play began, a strange way to use a receiver who, on the throws he did get, produced more value per target than all but six players in the WR/TE field. ## [Hard Evidence](https://leaguedonation.com/field-notes?post=hard-evidence) _2026-06-21 · Field Notes — League Donation_ JJ Bleday is the hundred-and-ninety-second-ranked player in fantasy baseball, and by the quality of his contact he is hitting like a top-ten-percent bat. Both numbers are current, both describe the same player, and the distance between them is not an accident. A ranking is sold as a measure of production. What it often measures is reputation: where a player was drafted, which team signs his… ## [The Markdown](https://leaguedonation.com/field-notes?post=the-markdown) _2026-06-19 · Field Notes — League Donation_ Jordan Love finished the 2025 season second among qualified quarterbacks in expected points added per dropback, behind only Drake Maye and ahead of Matthew Stafford, Brock Purdy, Dak Prescott, Josh Allen, and Patrick Mahomes. In the same months, the market that prices quarterbacks moved him the other way, down toward a back-end starter, the kind of name you wait on late rather than reach for. Two… ## [(untitled)](https://mattharwood.com/2026/06/13/picked-up-cory-doctorows-new.html) _2026-06-13 · Matt Harwood_ Picked up Cory Doctorow’s new book on AI today. Cory’s books are always insta-reads for me. ## [The Handoff](https://leaguedonation.com/field-notes?post=the-handoff) _2026-06-11 · Field Notes — League Donation_ In 2021 and 2022, Josh Allen averaged six hundred pass attempts a season and Buffalo threw over its situational expectation more than all but two teams in football. In 2025 Allen threw 460 times, the offense ran the ball on 49 percent of its plays, and the rushing title belonged to his running back. Then in January the Bills fired a 12-5 head coach and gave the franchise to the coordinator who… ## [(untitled)](https://mattharwood.com/2026/06/09/does-anyone-know-if-the.html) _2026-06-09 · Matt Harwood_ Does anyone know if the new Siri will work on iPhones that don’t have Apple Intelligence? (I.e my trusty iPhone 14) ## [(untitled)](https://mattharwood.com/2026/06/09/codesod-driven-development-julien-joined.html) _2026-06-09 · Matt Harwood_ CodeSOD: Driven Development : Julien joined a team which bragged about their use of DDD. Everything they did followed DDD best practices, they said. The fact that they piled up all sorts of related buzzwords when talking about it should have been a red flag. ## [The Pedigree](https://leaguedonation.com/field-notes?post=the-pedigree) _2026-06-09 · Field Notes — League Donation_ Marvin Harrison Jr. was the most certain receiver prospect in a decade. He went fourth in the 2024 draft and first in most dynasty rookie drafts, the son of a Hall of Famer, scouted as a finished product. In two NFL seasons he has separated from coverage less than almost any qualified receiver in football. As a rookie, he separated less than all of them. ## [(untitled)](https://mattharwood.com/2026/06/07/from-the-fts-comments-section.html) _2026-06-07 · Matt Harwood_ From the FT’s comments section : Someone once pointed out to me that the Whoop, Aura Ring, Apple Watch etc are the modern day equivalent of the Tamagotchi except that nowadays, we’re the annoying stupid thing we’re trying to keep alive. ## [(untitled)](https://mattharwood.com/2026/06/06/hidden-vegan-gem-cooked-breakfast.html) _2026-06-06 · Matt Harwood_ Hidden vegan gem: cooked breakfast in Wetherspoons, £3.09 👀 ## [(untitled)](https://mattharwood.com/2026/06/05/watched-monsieur-spade-se-episode.html) _2026-06-05 · Matt Harwood_ Watched: Monsieur Spade S1E2, Episode 2 🍿 This is turning in to a great show.

Mutation testing helps with the second one. If changes are made to the codebase, tests should fail. If they don’t, you likely have missing tests. I use… ## [(untitled)](https://mattharwood.com/2026/05/28/finished-reading-meltdown-by-duncan.html) _2026-05-28 · Matt Harwood_ Finished reading: Meltdown by Duncan Mavin 📚 A pretty exciting read - the story of Credit Suisse’s demise. Quite an obvious basket case in hindsight! ## [Since Alexander](https://leaguedonation.com/field-notes?post=since-alexander) _2026-05-28 · Field Notes — League Donation_ On Wednesday at Petco Park, Cristopher Sánchez threw seven scoreless innings against the Padres. Six hits. Nine strikeouts. The Phillies won 3-0. The seven innings pushed his scoreless streak to 44 2/3 innings, past the 41-inning Phillies record Grover Alexander set in 1911. ## [(untitled)](https://mattharwood.com/2026/05/24/sweltering-day-with-two-more.html) _2026-05-24 · Matt Harwood_ Sweltering day, with two more on the way I hear. We mostly hid from the heat, baked a loaf (not my best) and willed on Spurs to lose (not to be). ## [Apple Video Podcasts Might Stop Me From Going to YouTube](https://mattharwood.com/2026/05/23/apple-video-podcasts-might-stop.html) _2026-05-23 · Matt Harwood_ It’s slightly old news, but Apple is making video podcasts more of a thing within the Apple Podcasts apps. At least on mine, the homepage of the discovery tabs now shows video feeds in a very prominent position. Now, I personally see this as being late to the party. Yes, video podcast RSS feeds have always been available to use within Apple Podcasts (I have a few, mostly from TWiT ). But I’m old… ## [(untitled)](https://mattharwood.com/2026/05/22/watched-the-gold-season-finally.html) _2026-05-22 · Matt Harwood_ Watched: The Gold Season 1 🍿 Finally got around to it, after London Falling mentioned the Brinks-Mat job and piqued my interest! Superb show. ## [The Window](https://leaguedonation.com/field-notes?post=the-window) _2026-05-19 · Field Notes — League Donation_ Drake Maye finished 2025 at +9.14 CPOE. Caleb Williams finished at −6.87. Same draft class, same season of measurement, opposite ends of the same chart. The chart is the thing that knows whether either number means what people think it means. ## [Vintage](https://leaguedonation.com/field-notes?post=vintage) _2026-05-18 · Field Notes — League Donation_ Mike Trout is hitting .238. His barrel rate is the highest of his career.
