The South Bank: Weeknotes S21E13 First week of working with two clients done. Rapid discovery, iterating a service handbook, plus finding productivity in a co-working space.

A co-working space has been hugely helpful to my productivity – which is good, ‘cause now I’ve got more work. #weeknotes visitmy.website/2026/03/09/t...

Weeknotes 2026-03-08 TOC * The World * My Week * Media Diet * Reading * Watching * Gaming * Walking and Health and the Weather * Links of Interest * Looking Forward ### The World * The Iran conflict enters its second week. As expected, oil supply disruptions are now affecting pump prices in many places. I think I read that the US experienced their highest price increases ever. Big increases are also forecast for the PH this coming week. President Marcos has announced 4-day workweeks for some government offices to save on consumption. * The Iranian president has apologized to neighboring countries for recent retaliatory attacks, but it doesn't seem like there will be any letup anytime soon. ### My Week * A mostly chill week for me, though I had what I thought was a medical issue that gave me some anxiety. I spoke to a doctor friend about it and was told it was probably nothing, and sure enough a few days later it was gone! * The parents were out of town for a couple of days towards the end of the week so I had the house by myself. I am generally self-sufficient and comfortable being alone at home all day, but at times like these I often think about the (hopefully still distant) future when the parents are no longer around and I have to be alone at home most days. One or two days or even a week is probably fine, but IDK if I would go crazy over an extended period. Well, I suppose I'd figure something out. * On the blog: Movie and tv reviews for the first two months of the year, an incident with Paypal, and a review for a PS5 game. ### Media Diet #### Reading * Ongoing: Hogfather (Discworld #20). Kind of stalled, should get back to it. * Comics: Falling behind again. * Feed reader backlog: Feed reader is at 140 unread items as of this writing. This is a slight dip from last week so that means I am still managing to keep it together! #### Watching * Finished: **Wonder Man** (finally!) * Ongoing: **The Pitt S2** , **High Potential S2** , **Scrubs S10** * Stalled: **Fallout S2** , **The Simpsons S37** * Movies: Finally watched some new movies: Predator Badlands (2025) and Roofman (2025). #### Gaming * Regular ongoing live-service games: * **Magic Arena** : Been drafting some turtles! Not doing so well. * **Eternal Card Game** : My enthusiasm for this game is kind of waning * Single-player games: * Finished: **Spider-Man 2** (PS5). Review linked above. * Ongoing: **Pathfinder: Kingmaker** (Steam). * Putzing Around: **One Piece: Pirate Warriors 3** on the Steam Deck for some reason. ### Walking and Health and the Weather For the past week (Sunday to Saturday), Google Fit tells me I walked 62,905, a bit more than last week. The news says we are not yet officially in the dry season ("tag-araw") because there are still spots of amihan here and there, but the afternoons are mostly hot. ### Links of Interest * links 🔗 Boy I was wrong about the Fediverse > "But there's something quietly beautiful about a place where people just... share what they know. No brand deals, no engagement metrics, no algorithm nudging you toward rage. Just someone who spent twenty years studying Arctic policy posting a thread at 2 AM because they think you should understand what's happening. It's the internet I was promised in 1996. It only took thirty years and the complete collapse of American journalism to get here." * links 🔗 Whale Fall | Andrew Nesbitt * links 🔗 The case for gatekeeping, or: why medieval guilds had it figured out > "A high PR count on a repository used to actually mean something. If strangers were showing up to fix your edge cases, you'd built something people cared about. Now a high PR count signals that your repo has become a target for resume-padding bots, grifters and AI-assisted contribution farmers who need their GitHub activity graph to glow green for recruiter eyeballs or just want to swamp a project in pursuit of vulnerabilities. Open source, in other words, has an open slop problem." * links 🔗 The Death of the Software Craftsman > "Thus, it’s not unreasonable to think that such an industry will exist for writing software. In the short term, there’s still a ton that AI coding agents simply can’t do very well. And in the long term, there will be at least some demand for software written to a higher standard than what AI is producing. Of course, there will always be the need to pay a high price to have real programmer pop the hood on your vibe-coded mess to figure out what’s actually wrong." * links 🔗 A programmer's loss of a social identity - ratfactor > "Which is to say that the pleasure I get from programming is mostly about learning the underlying truths about computation and applying what I’ve learned. Always improving the craft. This, to me, is the practice of programming." * links 🔗 Created to be written | bstn.info > "Blogging is escape route for me. For that reason I write. Don't use photos, stock pictures or generative graphics. For me blogging is sharing thoughts and analizing a slice of life that I want to show to the public." ### Looking Forward * New season of One Piece Live Action drops on Netflix this coming week!

Last week went quickly.
Amongst other things, I did some LLM tinkering.
Also watched the Brit Awards, which was, as ever, an embarrassment. (Rosalía, though. Crikey!)

Weeknotes 2026-03-01 TOC * The World * My Week * Media Diet * Reading * Watching * Gaming * Walking and Health and the Weather * Links of Interest * Looking Forward It is a new month! Time marches forward. ### The World * Israel and the US (via the "president of peace") have started a new conflict with Iran. Ayatollah Khomenei has reportedly been killed. TIL that his reign as supreme leader of Iran started in 1979, it was only slightly younger than I am! On March 1, 2026, 7:46 a.m. I wrote: > If you ever played the original #Civilization games, you'd remember that if you chose to play as a Democracy and tried to start a war, the senate would just say NO and that was that. Not sure why I remembered that random #gaming fact at this time * USPol: The US blacklists Anthropic from government contracts after they refuse to allow the USGov to use their software for things like mass surveillance and automated weaponry. I am not a fan of all this GenAI nonsense, but props to Anthropic for this! * PHPol: Initial hearings for Duterte's trail at the Hague dominated local headlines. I try not to pay attention and just hope that justice will take its course. ### My Week * Had a bit of a busy week, at least for the first half of it. We were out for most of last weekend, then most of Monday and Tuesday were for medical errands for Patient #1 and #2. The rest of the week was more chill and circumstances meant I had to stay at home alone a lot, which is typically fine by me. * Had to do end of the month things this weekend (bills, etc). Why do these bills keep coming every month?!? * I dug into some work on fixing some old archived Viber conversations. This kind of work typically consumes me even though it's really only of value to me personally! * A little bit of work on site backend updates and fixes. * On the blog: Nothing extra this past week. ### Media Diet #### Reading * Ongoing: Hogfather (Discworld #20). Oof, I think I didn't read this at all this past week. Just got busy with other stuff. * Comics: Still trying to catch up (just barely keeping up). * Feed reader backlog: Feed reader is at 150 unread items as of this writing. The backlog grows easily if you just leave it alone for a few days. To think that a few weeks ago it was at like 700+ items, I had basically no chance! #### Watching * Ongoing: **The Pitt S2** , **Wonder Man** (still slow-rolling this one, only a couple of episodes remain) * Stalled: **Fallout S2** , **The Simpsons S37** , **High Potential S2** (waiting for the season to resume) * Started: **Scrubs**. This should be "season 10" but Disney+ has it listed as "season 1" and has another separate entry for the old series with season 1-9, not the best implementation. * Movies: No new movies this week. It's just been hard to be in the mood for movies recently. #### Gaming * Regular ongoing live-service games: * **Magic Arena** : Got a few more ECL quick drafts in, but the new set is dropping this week so I might be done already. * **Eternal Card Game** : Got to Master Rank in Throne! * Single-player games: * Ongoing: **Spider-Man 2** (PS5). I am almost 50% complete on this game, which is a decent rate. Should be done in a couple of weeks. Though I am probably playing this a bit too much to detriment of other things like reading. * Started: **Pathfinder: Kingmaker** (Steam). Just did the prologue so far. This has long been in my Steam library and on my list of games I want to play. I am thinking maybe I can manage to have one ongoing each on the PS5 and on Steam on the desktop. And one more on the Steam Deck? Lol, seems ambitious! * I do keep occasionally looking through my library and finding things I wanna play and installing them on the Deck but never finding the time lol. ### Walking and Health and the Weather For the past week (Sunday to Saturday), Google Fit tells me I walked 60,272, around the bare minimum I want to get done in a week. I fell short on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday due to how busy I was. The colder season is truly over, the afternoons are once again quite hot. ### Links of Interest Not a lot this week. * links 🔗 Design docs considered harmful > To put it another way, your travel itinerary should say "we're going to Portugal for two weeks, mostly Lisbon and Porto, and we want to eat a lot of seafood." It should not include a minute-by-minute schedule for day seven. The best meal of the trip will be at a tiny place with no menu that someone at the hostel told you about. You can't plan for that. You can only show up. "You can only show up" is probably good advice for lot of things outside travel and software design Wed, Feb. 25, 2026, 5:26 a.m. / 💬 1 ### Looking Forward * Kind of a quite week errand-wise, maybe I can relax. * My notes say Daredevil: Born Again season 2 is out this coming week, but I double-checked and it isn't actually until March 24, I am disappointed. * New set drops on Arena this Tuesday! It's very divisive.

Notes for the Week #9 (2026) This week note covers the week of 23rd February–1st March. ## Life# This week has been a slow one. Not much to update on this time. Life is moving at usual pace; home-work-walk-build-watch-read. My sleep has improved but I’m still not waking up fully refreshed; at least I am able to drive now. I kept sneaking in walks here and there, even spent some time on a treadmill because the summer is here in Bangalore. I finished February with 10225 daily average steps, which is a tad bit better than January. With the heat increasing, I’ll have to spend more time walking on the treadmill. We got all the ACs serviced just in time. A and my wife made popsicles twice this week with fruit juices, which turned out to be absolutely delectable. Looking forward to more of those this summer. Holi is around the corner, and this year A is old enough to play with water. Got to get her a pichkari. ## Personal Projects# This week I worked on `feed-repeat`, the small tool I made to repeat the posts from my favourite feeds into new feeds so that I can reread them forever. I’m planning to open source it so I added a few features that I felt were missing, and refactored it a bit. In particular: * I added support for conditional feed fetches. * I added a parameter to tune the entry selection probability. I think it is in a good shape now for opening. I’ve been running it for myself for three months and it has been performing as expected. Rest of my free time was spent on an urgent issue. Turns out RAM is very expensive now, causing my VPS provider Hetzner to increase their prices. My VPS that hosts my website and a few more services mostly sits idle, so it doesn’t make sense for me to pay so much for it. The only reason I was using an 8GB server was because my website generator was too memory hungry. I wrote it in a time when memory was cheap but compute was expensive. So I cached the hell out of everything. This worked well for 5 or so years, but now that I have over hundred posts and memory is scarce, I decided to optimize. I moved many caches from memory to on-disk and trimmed down things that were cached. I batched some build targets together. I also reduced the build concurrency. Over 16 commits, I brought down the memory use from 7GB to 2GB. It can still be improved but this is good enough now that I can rescale the VPS to 4GB RAM, and save some bucks. Interestingly, this also cut down the run time by about 40%, even when running with 8 thread instead of 50. Turns out, if you reduce memory use, the program will run faster because the garbage collector does not have to work as hard. Here are details for the curious: Before run stats 157,185,195,096 bytes allocated in the heap 87,212,373,968 bytes copied during GC 2,097,087,272 bytes maximum residency (60 sample(s)) 213,954,456 bytes maximum slop 7071 MiB total memory in use (0 MiB lost due to fragmentation) Tot time (elapsed) Avg pause Max pause Gen 0 106 colls, 106 par 301.063s 5.451s 0.0514s 0.2627s Gen 1 60 colls, 59 par 78.511s 24.207s 0.4035s 1.4609s Parallel GC work balance: 93.98% (serial 0%, perfect 100%) TASKS: 216 (1 bound, 215 peak workers (215 total), using -N50) SPARKS: 0 (0 converted, 0 overflowed, 0 dud, 0 GC'd, 0 fizzled) INIT time 0.004s ( 0.003s elapsed) MUT time 0.000s (120.139s elapsed) GC time 379.574s ( 29.659s elapsed) EXIT time 0.181s ( 0.015s elapsed) Total time 200.424s (149.816s elapsed) Alloc rate 0 bytes per MUT second Productivity -89.5% of total user, 80.2% of total elapsed After run stats 86,561,960,248 bytes allocated in the heap 13,599,700,352 bytes copied during GC 885,401,912 bytes maximum residency (45 sample(s)) 71,571,144 bytes maximum slop 2015 MiB total memory in use (0 MiB lost due to fragmentation) Tot time (elapsed) Avg pause Max pause Gen 0 323 colls, 323 par 10.476s 3.928s 0.0122s 0.0667s Gen 1 45 colls, 44 par 8.457s 2.668s 0.0593s 0.2832s Parallel GC work balance: 82.49% (serial 0%, perfect 100%) TASKS: 34 (1 bound, 33 peak workers (33 total), using -N8) SPARKS: 0 (0 converted, 0 overflowed, 0 dud, 0 GC'd, 0 fizzled) INIT time 0.003s ( 0.003s elapsed) MUT time 60.034s ( 82.092s elapsed) GC time 18.933s ( 6.596s elapsed) EXIT time 0.032s ( 0.002s elapsed) Total time 79.003s ( 88.693s elapsed) Alloc rate 1,441,880,584 bytes per MUT second Productivity 76.0% of total user, 92.6% of total elapsed ## Reading & Watching# I’m slowly making headway in reading _Proto_. It’s not going as fast as I’d like but it’s better than nothing. Wife and I started watching Love Through a Prism and I stared watching Lord of Mysteries. Still unsure about both but let’s see. ## Social Media# I see that I’m almost at 1000 original posts on my microblog. I also crossed 500 followers on Mastodon. I posted a new photo that I took on the day of my wedding. I’m not passing much time on social media these days 🤷🏽‍♂️. ## Interesting Internet Links# * How far back in time can you understand English? * Four Kinds of Optimisation * 10 Commandments: Compiler in Haskell Edition That’s all for this week. You can subscribe to the feed of my week notes for updates. If you have any questions or comments, please leave a comment below. If you liked this post, please share it. Thanks for reading!
