Today in #FreeSoftwareAdvent, I realized how much my daily setup changed over the years.
I removed my external monitor and keyboard.
Not to be minimalist, but to reduce context switching.
I kept the mouse because speed still matters.
Working sometimes from my parents house made it clear that relying on an external monitor was fragile, so I forced myself to work only with the laptop.
The same thing happened with software.
Vim slowly became nvi.
Alacritty became xterm, then st.
I didn’t look for lighter tools, but for ones I could trust and reason about. Less abstraction, fewer surprises.
Today I use two identical laptops -- one for work, one personal -- same setup, side by side, one mouse for each.
The environment disappears, and the work stays.

Sometimes you think of things 22 years too late, like this time. I wish I had thought of meeting with the Harvard Crimson people in 2003 and made the same offer to them that I had made to NYT the year before, ie we should offer blogs to everyone on staff, and anyone they quote, or basically anyone they want to be writing on the web, which was still a new thing — and we'd host them alongside the ones we were hosting at the law school. Had we done that there would be a scholarly and intellectual equivalent to Facebook which was also booting up on the same campus at the same time as blogging and podcasting. Love and intellect, that's a good combination for young super-achievers.

@evan I’m not convinced these elections will even happen.
