Btw that 10 by 10 game is crazy addictive. It's sort of like tetris but it's not. Would love to know whether the game code intentionally gives you the blocks you need, sometimes.

There's a version of it hosted over here:

(I thought at first it was a bit like tetris, but there's a sort of key difference in the cadence/timing/pressure system)

Bit of a yarn going over a recent bit of creative work that made me feel good: creating a janky client management system to help with the Dibs slack app.

You can probably get a feeling for where my priorities sit - secure, low-tech, terminal accessible. Got a recommendation?
