As the title says, i've created a VSCode theme in honor to my sweet princess cat Panceta (she is still alive).
Panceta means "Bacon" in spanish. When i addopted her she was super skinny and small cat and i had no idea how to call it... I was eating something with Panceta and i decided to call her like that. Now she is literally a Panceta... a big fat cat.

If you use VSCode to code, take a look if you have time and let me know. (it uses a Magenta color as primary color)

From TikTok to Instagram, it’s the morning ritual social media users can’t seem to get enough of.

The viral ‘lemon and olive oil shot’ combines one tablespoon of freshly squeezed lemon juice and one tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil.

There is a lot going on in my industry right now, and LLM-augmented development is changing what is possible (not so much at a technical level, but in terms of how quickly it is possible to do certain things).

The challenge is that this can be a bit tempting: the phrase "move fast and break things" has been around for a while, and as someone who doesn't really like to "break things" when possible it's wild to have the value equation so dramatically shift (i.e. you can now move, say, 30x faster while breaking 25% less).

Another example of a "math shift": third party dependencies. There will always be some argument for just building a library / tool yourself rather than have to worry about upstream communities and their decisions. Before LLMs there were a few reasons to avoid this: community wisdom, separation of concerns, maintaining something locally means you have to spend some % of your energy on it. With an LLM the cost of those concerns is less (particularly the last one).

That said, the value of community, the value of having more human eyes trying to find and fix bugs within a given tool... there is a lot to be said.

I don't have answers on these things, and even if I had them they would need to be revisited in a month!

Recently i discover this guy which travels to the world. It happens to be from the Jewish community!

From Lower East Side scribes to refuseniks in Minsk to the New Orleans jazz buffs of Preservation Hall, Bill Aron made a career out of photographing ordinary Jews in the fullness of their humanity.

For Bill Aron, every picture is a study in liveliness and colloquial warmth, and he has deployed this warmth to capture Jewish life over the past 50 years. As he tells it, the decisive moment of taking a picture is the end point of a much larger journey. “I’ve often thought that photography is so much more than the moment when you press the shutter,” he told the Center for Jewish History, which is currently hosting a career-spanning retrospective of his work. “Doubtless it is an important moment, when you press the shutter, but I thought that moment really represents how I feel about what’s going on. It also represents a history.”

Before the Iranian revolution of 1979 it is estimated that there were 80,000 Jews living in the country. Today it is believed that less than 25,000 remain. Each Jew who left Iran carried a story that could be told here.

The holiday of Purim is a time when Jews traditionally congregate to read Megillat Esther, a story filled with intrigue, emotions, violence, and more. And yet, while a holiday like Passover has the incredible films “The Ten Commandments” and “The Prince of Egypt,” Purim has no such movie.

Until someone makes an ageless classic worthy of turning on every Purim, we need to find something to watch.

Imagine a wave of Jewish art, music, writing, and creativity flooding the internet, defined not by conflict or defensiveness, but by culture, joy, and identity. That is the Jewish Renaissance I want to see, and what I truly believe is possible.

But right now, something is quietly working against it behind the scenes. A broken algorithm and a culture of reactive engagement is pushing Jewish creators out of our own spaces. And a lot of us don’t even realize it’s happening.

Here’s what I learned, and what every Jewish creator needs to know.

Same thing we do every night, try to make a delightful place for Jews to be themselves online.
