My advice for expecting parents: Reject the cynicism. There's a weird trend of cynicism around becoming a parent: • "Have fun never sleeping!" • "Hope you got your fun in!" It's dumb. The good outweighs the bad by 1000x. The frictions are a tiny tax on the joy it brings.

Github Copilot has this eerie ability to write code which _almost_ works but includes a subtle mistake in something like a variable's name. It's so close to right that I don't notice the error.

My new thing is to listen to stock music while I work. It's almost all instrumental and weirdly more enjoyable than Spotify.
