Calendar generator
12 weeks on one physical page. Mark only the most important milestones and events. Optionally strike out past
days to get a progress-bar like indication of time passing.
Free iOS app. You set up locations (like office, home, gym) and then whenever you go there, this utility will
log it to a "Locations" calendar that you can view with your normal Calendar apps on iOS and macOS. Quite
useful to review where you spend your time.
1. “software developer” - for the lack of a better term for now.
At the core I identify more as a researcher / (wannabe‑)inventor. I don't love software-development
in itself. I find it frustrating too often and I think the status quo of programmer tools in 2019 is quite lacking (if you look at it from a historical perspective).
But I'm highly interested in software development on this meta-level, i.e. understanding how we develop software, and human-computer interaction in general.
In my opinion there are incredible productivity-gains achievable through better software-tools and since software is so deeply intertwined with the overall economy I think it's important to
be aware of the fact that even seemingly tiny improvements can generate a lot of value. I'll put some writing up soon. Make sure to watch everything from Alan Kay and Bret Victor on YouTube.
