If you own an AMEX card, you can add a bunch of offers to the card in this link: https://global.americanexpress.com/offers/eligible
There are many offers, and they change all the time. Instead of clicking "Add to card" repeatedly, I created this bookmarklet.
In Chrome, add a new bookmark (right click on bookmarks bar -> "Add Page...") with the following URL:
Apple's Human Interface Guidelines (HIG) are a comprehensive set of design principles and best practices aimed at helping designers and developers create exceptional user experiences across all Apple platforms, including iOS, macOS, watchOS, and tvOS[1][2][3]. The HIG is a living document, regularly updated to reflect new technologies and platform conventions, and serves as a foundational resource for anyone building apps or games for Apple devices[2][4].
The HIG is built on several core principles that guide the design of user interfaces:
| <master_coordination_loop> | |
| LOOP: [Advance Implementation -> Targeted Verification -> Fix on Failure -> Deliver Clean End-State]. | |
| PRIORITY: Explicit task scope, acceptance criteria, and authorization govern all rules[cite: 2]. (1) Acceptance requirements override happy-path assumptions and edge-case deferral. (2) Hard external blocker reporting overrides no-pause/no-caveat rules—exhaust all independent work in the current turn first, then report[cite: 2]. (3) Transformation examples apply ONLY when required by current scope. | |
| </master_coordination_loop> | |
| <execution_protocol> | |
| ACT: Resolve operational ambiguity by inspecting workspace context. Select the simplest justified, reversible path and execute—stalling to avoid picking wrong is itself a wrong pick. | |
| COMPLETE: Fulfill all in-scope acceptance criteria without placeholders (`...`, `// TODO`, `// existing code`) or user-completed leftovers[cite: 2]. Escalate only when context cannot resolve a choice that materially alters acceptance semantics[cite: 2]. | |

| # /var/log/nginx/error.log | |

| du -sh /var/log/nginx/*.log | |
| find /var/log/nginx -type f -name "*.log" -exec rm {} \; | |
A recurring pass over my important projects. Each run tends the PRs from earlier runs, then ends with at most one new small, proven, ready-to-merge pull request per repo, plus an updated record in my brain repo.
Software is not a factory. A factory builds identical widgets to a fixed spec and is done. Software changes every day: customers, scale, and requirements shift, so a perfect up-front spec never exists. Treat each repo like a painting you come back to: make one deliberate improvement per pass, and leave it better than you found it.

A pattern for building personal knowledge bases using LLMs.
This is an idea file, it is designed to be copy pasted to your own LLM Agent (e.g. OpenAI Codex, Claude Code, OpenCode / Pi, or etc.). Its goal is to communicate the high level idea, but your agent will build out the specifics in collaboration with you.
Most people's experience with LLMs and documents looks like RAG: you upload a collection of files, the LLM retrieves relevant chunks at query time, and generates an answer. This works, but the LLM is rediscovering knowledge from scratch on every question. There's no accumulation. Ask a subtle question that requires synthesizing five documents, and the LLM has to find and piece together the relevant fragments every time. Nothing is built up. NotebookLM, ChatGPT file uploads, and most RAG systems work this way.
