!Boring is turning 5!
And what's a 5 yr old birthday party without ice cream?
Try our new flavorful skins persimmon, sesame, & guava. Come and grab a scoop.
Love to hear it! Let me know if I can help.
Some personal news…
After 5 incredible years of !Boring, I’ve decided that I’m having too much fun and will continue making software until the machines pry it from my cold dead hands. Thank you for supporting 5 years of this work 🙏 ;)We're just gettin' to the interesting part ;)

Software Design is weird. It is undoubtedly the most impactful medium shaping the world today, yet even those of us working in it know very little of its history. We have no broadly-read books, no docu-series, no video essays. Most see the works of the past as obsolete rather than a rich heritage.

And since we'll never get any official confirmation, I prefer this outlook.
I think we're all susceptible to spending months perfecting a feature like this only to put it in front of your parents who immediately get lost and frustrated because it doesn't work the same anymore! so you quietly wind it back because it wasn't really necessary anyway.
I appreciated the consideration put into the approach but I admit I never fully understood why they felt it was necessary to reinvent.

Take a moment to appreciate all you've done.
Habits '26 : Feb Release is here!
We put a lot into this. I hope you love it 🖤

Soon, it’ll be about as easy to find a true-blood software developer as it is to find a blacksmith.
Speaking my language. Though difficult to capture a lot of the beauty in print but perhaps video games could be followed.
Find your mastery.
In Habits '26, we made it much faster to jump between many habits ~just swipe~
