    Claws Mail is a great mail client. It interoperates nicely with any text editor and has a flat file design structure (many use case possibilities). The negatives are that the interface is a bit dated and runs on a single thread.

    In freelancing your job is not to be a hero, but to attract blame and lose arguments swiftly and strategically.

    Customer service, you know?

    People problems > technical problems. This is an axiom. Your tools don’t resolve people problems, only technical problems.

    Everything’s dandy when accolades go up and around. Compliments directed only at you? Bad news.

    Style beats substance.
    Attitude beats competence.
    Foreign beats local credibility.

    Scapegoats (blame deflection) and messengers/prophets (indirection) are the norm. Navigating this is a dark art, and yes, the human mind is magical and highly superstitious.

    Time is generous. I don’t use/follow social media, so if this micro blog ever interfaces with a headless there’ll be a constant deluge of posts.

    Perhaps it might be an interesting experiment to document and wire in every driven headless CMS available. It’s about time to put NixOS through its proper paces. How many heads can one fit onto this body or is it the other way round? It’s just an API after all.

    Users are psychologically primed to hate vertical scrollbars, but what happens when you remove them? Bring in the horizontal “indicators” duh… Oh you designers. ‘Tis probably wise for browsers to make that a user option and default to vertical scrollbars before scroll accessibility goes up in flames.
