There is a very fast way to shift your sleep-wake schedule, whether for travel, becoming an early riser (or late riser) or accommodating shift work.

Our week at #KubeCon was incredible! From unveiling DXI & ODA to demoing our cloud dev environments, we loved every moment. Huge thanks to everyone who stopped by, chatted with us, grabbed a LEGO kit, or built a custom minifig! Already excited for next year!

Just did a fresh macOS install — writing down what I set up: • Superhuman: fast email client • Ghostty: super fast terminal • Neovim: default editor • Raycast: better spotlight • CleanShot X: better screenshot tool • Notion: work notes + calendar • Chrome: default browser • 1Password: best password manager • Spotify: my music hub • Screenflow: lightweight video capture + editor • Screen Studio: another nice video tool The usual web dev stuff: homebrew, node, pnpm, bun.
