Life

What was billed as a three day vibe-coding hackathon arrived unbidden in my calendar, immediately filling we with existential dread. Fortunately it wasn’t nearly as bad as I’d been bracing myself for. It was certainly fairly exhausting but fortunately I like my colleagues and it was very well organised. Bits of it were almost good. It didn’t do much to put me at ease regarding what the future of software development looks like though.

Ηη made it to half term. It seems like he’s really growing up quite a lot and is usually a lot of fun to hang out with. Even when he’s shitting himself.

Αα has gone full bore on terrible twos like she’s making up for lost time. Night time is especially rubbish. It’s increasingly hard to tell where her illness ends and her fundamental nature begins but I’m inclined to think that it’s almost entirely the latter by now. I really hope this phase doesn’t last too long. I’m glad I haven’t seen our neighbours in the close for a while – I would definitely harbour a fairly extreme dislike of me if I was on the receiving end.

I read up about labral tears which is what I was told I maybe had when I went to the GP about my dodgy hip. They don’t heal without surgery so now I’m firmly in denial and desperately trying to find something else that it might be.

Ηη put in his weakest performance to date at junior parkrun. He’s not remotely interested in listening to my suggestion that he might want to try to run a bit slower. Which is fair enough – why should he? He’s happy enough even if he’s coming last (which is a considerable improvement on being inconsolable as soon as it became clear he wasn’t going to win).
