Been just about a year since Ash and I were in Japan, and last night, the first cooler evening we've had this summer, I was thinking about a hot, steaming bowl of ramen.

Somehow, the first random ramen shop we walked into on the first day we arrived in Sapporo was both of our favourites of the whole three month odyssey.

Another small update to Usagi! This time a request from one of the two other people using it I know of – a small refresh button to explicitly update the usage (convenient if you're operating close to the usage limits and configure a longer cycle between refreshes).

Small update to Usagi, I've included the weekly usage bar for Fable just below the weekly usage bar.

Joel Spolsky once called it "the single worst strategic mistake that any software company can make", and not for nothing:

"When you throw away code and start from scratch, you are throwing away all that knowledge. All those collected bug fixes. Years of programming work."

Even twenty years into my career, despite understanding, both logically and from experience that a rewrite is a high-risk move with limited chance of success– I am still often tempted.

Coding assistants are making it more tantalizing than ever, and maybe, just maybe, even attainable.
