2025 - Week 06

Last week-end was rough and threw me for a loop. I wasn’t in the mood of publishing a weekly update. Stuff still happened thought!

  • 🧠 I signed up for an ADHD bootcamp and last week was my second session (of 12). Almost 18 months since I got my official diagnosis, it’s been great to meet with fellow neuroatypical brains and compare notes. I’m hoping to learn more about ADHD itself (and I already have!) and ideally come up with coping mechanisms that work for me.
  • 🧑🏻‍💻 I spent last week learning more about opentelemetry. I’ve used tracing and Honeycomb a lot at Apple but this gave me the opportunity to setup all the wiring myself and it’s been fun. I’ve also setup RabbitMQ, which is a tool I’ve always loved for some reason (I guess I like rabbits?). These should make interesting blog posts.
  • 📋 After spending a few weeks on Clear before realizing that the macOS version was gone, I decided to give a try to Todoist. My neurospicy brain loves a new tool, but I hope to make it past the honeymoon phase.
  • 🐢 I started playing with the super secret Atuin desktop (that Ellie showed a few times on Mastodon) and I’m enjoying the idea behind runnable playbooks.
  • 🚗 I never really cared about driving but I am finally practicing to get my license. I’m mentioning it publicly as a way to properly commit to it I guess?

See y’all next week!
