A Walk in Night Fog

Yesterday morning I woke and looked out of a window and saw fog. For some, the reaction is “oh zut alors” as we think that we’re in for several weeks of being under the clouds, with the mountains as a weekend escape from a sun deprived time spent in fog.

An Indirect Walk

I took it as an opportunity. I could have walked from A to B last night. Instead I walked my usual walk. Along the way I looked for interesting photo opportunities. The fog was thick, and you could see water droplets floating in the air near lights.

Getting AI to Write an App

Yesterday I went to a talk where Claude and Cursor were used to write a Flutter app for Android. The idea is quite simple. “Claude help me write a to-do app and a shopping list app” before following the instructions produced by AI to write the app.

When I watched this I thought “This reminds me of the laravel tutorial that I followed at least two or three times. If you find a tutorial you can write the code by hand by copying it line by line, and function by function.

A Cupboard Filled With Books

Yesterday I went for one of my usual one and three quarter hour walks and when I came into one village I noticed a green cupboard so I opened it and looked inside.

“When I think of all the books I have yet to read, I feel happiness.”
