#crisp projects from good old SASS from 2015 to modern SCSS that's the only well supported syntax in 2026 (nuke technical debt before it truly hits hard)
work on ETF strategy and find out in FR tax environment it's better to mix Dist and Acc. Dist will allow a steady income even when markets are bad, but are immediately taxed in FR (30%), then Acc allows withdrawing something like 4% annually (especially when markets go well).
My new formula is simple:
- 40% of total ETF portfolio go to Dist, 60% to Acc.
- Dist funds life necessary life expense, while Acc funds lifestyle or expensive purchases.
That's the best balance for me between simplicity and tax efficiency for FR

schedule to sell all my SP500 holdings tomorrow because 1. its over-exposed to AI and it's a bubble, 2. SP500 is over-valued by 120% to 200% as per analysts, 3. US is going geopolitically crazy recently so starting to lose confidence — will re-balance it to an Asia-Pacific Acc ETF tomorrow + All-World ETF to dump on the AI bubble growth and now spread the risk to preserve those fat gains

migrate all legacy node-sass to dart-sass on all
#crisp older web projects for good and drop all use of compass + sass-lint, those tools are so 2015, that we we can update to next nodejs version in the future without creating a huge mess of migrations & technical debt. also drop all auto-prefixing of css properties here because all browsers support prefix-less css properties now in 2026
experience bug in rollup which broke our
#crisp app in production so maybe we should upgrade to rolldown soon to prevent this
switch ChatGPT subscription for Mistral to see how it goes, so far very satisfied it’s totally on par

uninstall X from phone because it became too addictive due to recent changes (can’t hide images) and I spend more time doomscrolling now, and it’s not possible to use unofficial client app anymore so —> 🚮
my phone is only messaging apps and maps now, which is the purpose of a phone after all. means I don’t use my phone much during the day except for smart stuff like searching knowledge or chatting with friends
