Hello,
I'm Axel.

I spent a few days (couple hours a day) vibecoding a mac app for my personal archive notes and my work notes.

Turns out I was vibecoding a shitty version of Obsidian.

Lesson learned, again 😬

Watched Tony last night. I've always been inspired by Anthony Bourdain, but now I feel like I'm going fully into the rabbit hole of rewatching No Reservations, Parts Unknown, etcétera.

My partner is just learning about the guy. I already have Roadrunner ready for her, and I'm so excited.

Don't you love the recommendation high when somebody you appreciate doesn't know something you deeply care about? I'm riding that high right now.

I started journaling again this weekend, after a couple of months of inactivity. I'm surprised every time by the mental clarity and peace it brings.

Impostor syndrome never goes away, it just lingers in the shadows, waiting.

I'm in need of around $1,999.00

New bitter-old-man rule: I don’t open any YouTube video recommendation that has a cryptic baity title and/or thumbnail, period.

We’re turning into gullible children. I won’t have that, fuck you very much.

This is a good week. I came back from my trip to Chihuahua to find two new records at my door: Papota by CA7RIEL & Paco Amoroso and Thank You, by Mike D.

The first one already shows wear marks on my Apple Music account. The second one fills me with joy: it's the first new thing related to Beastie Boys to arrive in many, many years (excluding the half-assed documentary, that is).

It's also Apple Event week, and my kids arrived home today. Not much else I can ask for right now.

That was a hell of a routine break. Now I just need a leg massage and an Ibuprofen.

Ping?

Last week my psychiatrist switched me from methylphenidate to Vyvanse (lisdexamfetamine). I was on high dosage of methylphenidate without much effect. I basically planned my work day around the couple of hours right after the pills.

Vyvanse though... oh shit. I'm focusing so hard on things. I'm undistracted, I monotask like never before, and I'm always in a good mood (partially because of the stimulant effects, partially because I. am. getting. so. much. done.)

Anyway, I wanted to share. If you have ADHD, take your meds. If they don't work, tell your doctor.

Marking the moment: this is the first federated post from axel.mx as a fediverse server. Turns out it wasn't, but this site is now a part of the fediverse (!).

Follow at site@axel.mx in Mastodon :)

This website is not being federated as their own fediverse entity anymore. Lesson learned.
