February 20th

I was reminded today that I’m supposed to write a user manual for myself. It’s a document written by you, about you, for the benefit of the folks you work with. I like the idea and I’ve done it before, but it got me thinking: why don’t I just (or also) answer the same sort of questions right here.

It’s specific enough that I’ve created a new place for it (for now). It’s not linked from any navigation, but I might send people to it, and I might point robots at it. For now, I’ve answered a single question—and the most meta one—about why the space exists at all, which… I’m now repeating. Oh.

Anyway, that’s how I spent a bit of my time this evening, at the end of a day that’s felt both very long and very short. I made the changes with the OpenAI Codex app, which was both fun and completely pointless. Then again, I think I might want more fun, pointless moments in my life.
