            <description>&lt;div class=&#34;pull-quote&#34;&gt;I don&#39;t care for the joy of programming&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;Lately I&amp;#8217;ve gotten &lt;em&gt;heavily&lt;/em&gt; back into making stuff, and it&amp;#8217;s mostly because of LLMs.
I thought that I liked programming, but it turned out that what I like was making things, and programming was just one way to do that.
Since LLMs have become good at programming, I&amp;#8217;ve been using them to make stuff non</description>

            <description>&lt;div class=&#34;pull-quote&#34;&gt;It&#39;s small and tiny and so cute&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;Have you ever always wanted a very very small voice note recorder that would fit in your pocket? Something that would always work, and always be available to take a note at the touch of a button, with no fuss? Me neither.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Until, that is, I saw the &lt;a href=&#34;https://repebble.com/index&#34;&gt;Pebble Index 01&lt;/a&gt;, then I absolutely needed it right away and had to have it in my life immediately, but alas, it is not available, plus it&amp;#8217;s disposable, and I don&amp;#8217;t like creating e-waste. What was a poor maker like me supposed to do when struck down so cruelly by the vicissitudes of fate?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There was only one thing I &lt;em&gt;could&lt;/em&gt; do:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I could build my own, shitty version of it for $8, and that&amp;#8217;s exactly what I did.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;The problem&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Like everyone else, I have some sort of undiagnosed ADHD, which manifests itself as my brain itching for a specific task, and the itch becoming unbearable unless I scratch it.

            <title>I made another little bedside clock</title>
            <link>https://www.stavros.io/posts/i-made-another-little-bedside-clock/</link>
            <guid>https://www.stavros.io/posts/i-made-another-little-bedside-clock/</guid>
            <description>&lt;div class=&#34;pull-quote&#34;&gt;I call it &#39;Bedtime&#39;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;The other day I saw &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S1Q9PZ95SDM&#34;&gt;a video by someone who bought a $16 electronic clock&lt;/a&gt;, and it looked interesting, because that little clock had been taunting me for months by showing up constantly in my AliExpress recommendations.
I held off on buying it because what am I going to do with &lt;a href=&#34;/posts/do-not-be-alarmed-clock/&#34;&gt;yet another clock&lt;/a&gt;, but the video said that it has an ESP8266 inside, and that, with a little soldering and programming, you could run &lt;a href=&#34;https://esphome.io&#34;&gt;ESPhome&lt;/a&gt; on it!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Obviously, I didn&amp;#8217;t need any more convincing, though I remembered this clock being listed for $6 for a while, and balked at the $16 the video mentioned.
I ordered &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005009145344721.html&#34;&gt;a different listing, which I found for $12&lt;/a&gt;, hoping it would be the same as the one from the video.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Fairly serendipitously for this purchase, the &lt;a href=&#34;/posts/do-not-be-alarmed-clock/&#34;&gt;last bedside clock I made&lt;/a&gt; was showing its age a bit.
Mainly, the dimmest setting on its screen was bright enough to be annoying when I&amp;#8217;m in bed, and the screen has been burned-in quite a bit.
A new monochrome OLED screen is an easy fix, but I&amp;#8217;d prefer a color one (especially if it can be dimmed more), so hopefully I&amp;#8217;d be able to replace the Do Not Be Alarmed clock with this new one.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The new clock arrived promptly, and I</description>

Occasionally, when people learn about this fascination, they donate their old rotary phones to me, so I have ended up with a small collection.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The other thing I have a fascination with is meetings.
Well, I say &amp;#8220;fascination&amp;#8221;, but it&amp;#8217;s more of a burning hatred, really.
One day, a few months ago, I was in one such meeting, as I have been every day since, and I jokingly pretended to get irate about something.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;One of my coworkers laughed and said &amp;#8220;I bet if this were a phone call, you&amp;#8217;d slam the phone down right now&amp;#8221;, and a dread spread over me.
Why &lt;em&gt;didn&amp;#8217;t&lt;/em&gt; I have a phone handset I could slam down?

            <title>Switch to Jujutsu already: a tutorial</title>
            <link>https://www.stavros.io/posts/switch-to-jujutsu-already-a-tutorial/</link>
            <guid>https://www.stavros.io/posts/switch-to-jujutsu-already-a-tutorial/</guid>
            <description>&lt;div class=&#34;pull-quote&#34;&gt;If you don&#39;t like Jujutsu, you&#39;re wrong&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;As all developers, I&amp;#8217;ve been using git since the dawn of time, since its commands were an inscrutable jumble of ill-fitting incantations, and it has remained this way until today.
Needless to say, I just don&amp;#8217;t get git.
I never got it, even though I&amp;#8217;ve read a bunch of stuff on how it represents things internally.
I&amp;#8217;ve been using it for years knowing what a few commands do, and whenever it gets into a weird state because I fat-fingered something, I have my trusty alias, &lt;code&gt;fuckgit&lt;/code&gt;, that deletes the &lt;code&gt;.git&lt;/code&gt; directory, clones the repo again into a temp folder, and moves the &lt;code&gt;.git&lt;/code&gt; directory from that into my directory, and I&amp;#8217;ve managed to eke out a living for my family this way.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Over the past few years, I&amp;#8217;ve been seeing people rave about &lt;a href=&#34;https://github.com/jj-vcs/jj&#34;&gt;Jujutsu&lt;/a&gt;, and I always wanted to try it, but it never seemed worth the trouble, even though I hate git.
I idly read a few tutorials, trying to understand how it works, but in the end I decided it wasn&amp;#8217;t for me.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;One day I randomly decided to try again, but this time I asked Claude how to do with Jujutsu whatever operation I wanted to do with git.
That&amp;#8217;s when the mental model of jj clicked for me, and I finally understood everything, &lt;em&gt;including how git works&lt;/em&gt;.
I never thought a VCS would spark joy in me, but here we are, and I figured maybe I can write something that will make jj click for you as well.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It also doesn&amp;#8217;t hurt that Jujutsu is completely interoperable with git (and thus with providers like GitHub), and I can have all the power of Jujutsu locally on my git repos, without anyone knowing I&amp;#8217;m not actually using git.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;The problem&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The problem I had with the other tutorials, without realizing it, was that</description>

Me neither.</p>\n<p>Until, that is, I saw the <a href=\"https://repebble.com/index\">Pebble Index 01</a>, then I absolutely needed it right away and had to have it in my life immediately, but alas, it is not available, plus it’s disposable, and I don’t like creating e-waste.
