We take it for granted that we can request a service, let it run in the background, and receive results in a reasonable amount of time. This was one of the great transformative processes of our 21st century world, something technologically infeasible before the rise of the telephone. Modern systems are designed to never wait.https://www.abanhasan.net/posts/cowboys/Fri, 23 May 2025 00:00:00 +0000https://www.abanhasan.net/posts/cowboys/To be in software in 2025 is to be a cowboy in 1900.

Entire teams of researchers, scientists, psychologists devote their lives to finding and “pulling the right” switch in our minds, optimizing for engagement, for distraction. Our inherent capital – the finite time and vibrant youth we possess – is systematically siphoned off to feed the mainframe, the ever-hungry digital systems that thrive on our attention.https://www.abanhasan.net/posts/how-to-type-faster/Sat, 17 Jul 2021 00:00:00 +0000https://www.abanhasan.net/posts/how-to-type-faster/Typing has become and exceedingly useful skill over the last few years. My journey started with a single link. A friend wanted to compare our typing speeds. At the time, i was pretty slow, having to look down at my keyboard every time I wanted to type a single character (I cringe at the thought, in retrospect). At the time, everyone were much faster than me, I was at a slow 25 WPM and didn’t care much about it.
