Tl;Dr: don't think my setup is relevant as such and you probably need the perspective of independent/solo folks!

I was about to reply but then realized you probably work mostly alone as a creative. I work remote and 95% from home BUT part of a company. I am connected with team on Slack, have meetings etc.. That puts a lot of structure to the day and I don't find it hard to focus at all even with family around

Really impressive results. Bet this is going to be a unity/unreal plugin in a couple months. Would love to have this as a plugin in my photo library.

GitHope Track GitHub stars and project health history

In my previous gig (VC fund) we built a stateful GitHub stats tracker to find OSS companies. Most star trackers are stateless using GitHub API but we were maintaining history of stars, forks, issues.. Turns out this is also served from sstables on GCS πŸ™‚

Maybe use channels for this? Runtime A can write requests in a channel consumed by runtime B. Each request contains a one-shot channel for response. Then you handle polling how you want on each side. That's a classic pattern for thread-per-core dispatch.

This zoom and enhance feature on the pixel 9 is really weird. It's more like an "add AI artefacts everywhere" feature. Haven't gotten a single photo better with it.

More seriously, there's really good people but there's this long (and fat) tail of conceited arrogant folks who have no clue and are swaggering around parroting VC market quotes.
