    Humanizing the LLM output is a hedge against agents hitting a wall and someone having to reason through it by hand.

    All I want to do is reword and correct commit messages / improve them without rebasing everything. When working with teams this is a sure fire way to create absolute chaos.

    They'll make it a requirement for building codes to have it on file when you installed them. Just like septic systems all being transitioned to aerobic systems. Then it'll be on fi…

    CAFE isn't all they have to deal with. NTSB has stricter safety requirements now and we will probably not have small vehicles again. I just want a damn Hilux.

    `==`, `===`, `->`, `-->` are more pleasant to read with ligatures on. It's silly, but nice.

    The fun part about that `grill-me` command is that when the questions are over, I've found that I can go right into implementation without needing to dump a PRD or some sort of bro…

    I went from Alacritty to Ghostty for ligatures and some other small goodies. I could probably get those same goodies with Kitty, but I didn't want to try nor have the desire to try…

    And even if it _was_ related to AI, they would not admit it. First course of action is to blame user/programmer error and then QA process error. You shall not blame the golden calf…

    > Moore's Law approaching its end. No it isn't. We are going more parallel and the transistor counts will continue to rise.

    Well if you also have your 2024 input docs as well, you may want to check that too in separate sessions. Post your findings. I'm interested.
