Yesterday my 8yo prompted (using voice recognition) Claude to make a game where it would play her a song (say Twinkle) and she had to play it back and get scored. The UI was a nice…

Don’t get me wrong, I very much agree with the danger. As I highlighted - I saw it this morning when someone used Claude to draw the wrong conclusions. I’m saying there is a way in…

Depends on how it’s done. I use it a lot now for knocking up grafana charts etc. It’s not so much that the LLM is feeding the numbers through. You can still use real tools to analy…

Alleycat in CGA just hit me hard. For the people that didn’t live through this time, lining these images up makes it obvious why those that did speak of how visually impressive the…

Fair. It did have George Clinton at the helm. I loved all the early stuff. Freaky Styley, Mothers Milk, The Uplift Mofo party plan. With Rick Rubin at the controls I just think Blo…

That does seem like less than I would expect! It always makes me a bit sad that everyone knows RHCP but less so their early stuff. Blood sugar sex magik is a funk masterpiece. Didn…

Can you explain how conflicts are not conflicts? If I change a line of code several times and rebase on to a branch that changed the same lines of code, how are you sure what the r…

Yup same. Going a little insane trying to set up a new device that's having network issues. Claude was helping me diagnose. Seems like I've infected the whole internet.

Ha! I had someone doing a task the other day and the llm they used wrote a regex in Perl. I joked that in 25 years all the seems to have changed is the number of layers between me …

For me, all the code in the PR at that point is in question. The code was changed as part of a bigger part of work and reverting it without understanding why might cause issues bac…

Maybe a slight misinterpretation of what I meant. The commit that goes with a PR is definitely useful context, but I’ve found more granular than that is seldom useful. Even big one…

Sudden flashbacks to when I was trying to figure out why there was so much traffic to a blog post (15+ years ago). I guess the internet was looking for something different to my “k…

Vim recognises that the typing text is a small part of coding by defaulting to a mode in which you can’t even type :) For me, vim is a nice way to navigate code. It’s really fast t…
