My profession photo taken several years ago. I'm wearing a light sweater there, I'm slightly smiling.

@internetarchive and thanks for bringing attention to the use of AI in climate change mitigation. As someone who worked in climate data for four years, I can say that LLMs provide a lot of help in identifying and comparing projects for reducing emissions and adapting to a changing world. ClimateGPT looks like a great project to share.

Now that vibe coding is a thing, is it just me, or does anyone feel an intense pressure to release updates and fix bugs and provide support as quickly as possible? I want to, honestly I do, but I work full-time. Everything I do regarding my projects is on my own time and on my own dime. Maybe it’s pressure I’m putting on myself, but I want people to love and use what I make, and they won’t do that for too long if there are bugs, so I work as hard as I can to try to fix them.

Hey #Anagrams people! I've just released an update to my Anagrams game. I've added the ability to submit your own words to a community database so that your words are practically endless. For obvious reasons I will be moderating each word before it's officially added. And also, for @EJGilbert@dragonscave.space, I've squashed the Christmas bug so it should work now. For those who need the link, you can play the game at https://accessible-anagrams-iwps.bolt.host/accessible-anagrams-iwps.bolt.host/
