There’s a huge difference between does it work vs is it elegant. As a software engineer I have been strict on making sure my code is elegant. Vibe coding has switched me to product…

I love this! Such a simple game with a fun level of skill. High score 17485 feels pretty good (edit: Oh! Low power mode on the computer makes the game run slow, thus much easier to…

> software specs are often an order of magnitude simpler than the actual number of branches in the code Love this! Be it design specs or a mock from the designer. So many unaccount…

If I had a human assistant, I'd ask them to book my flight. The chat box is your window to your AI assistant. Maybe this new assistant hasn't earned your trust yet, but it makes se…

The fact that this deactivation feels possible is still a telling sign of where we’ve been heading. Update fail. Subscription lapsed payment. All sorts of new failure modes.

Only off by one character, how hard could that be?

Same!

Just installed Nuenki, really excited to give this a try. Amazing how it can hopefully iteratively help me learn Spanish while I don't change my behavior much.

Been doing this the last 10 months. Lots of growth and self-discovery. Best wishes on your journey!

My images say "Created with DALLE" below them, and a little info icon tells me they are rolling out the new one soon.

The examples they show have little captions that say "best of #", like "best of 8" or "best of 4". Hopefully that truly represents the odds of generating the level of quality shown…

I like the framing of "defaults" too. Gives space for suggestion and change.

Our team currently relies on thingamajig's responsiveness and cannot tolerate a change in performance. We will setup a temporary replica of thingamajig. Can you please hold off unt…

DHTML! Gosh just hearing that term takes me back. I think AJAX killed DHTML. I'm not sure what killed AJAX. Async/await? React?

I literally just copied and pasted that exact part into my notes. Something about "versus doing nothing" really hits hard. I can do more than nothing! And also, sometimes, I need g…

I couldn't get into it. I wasn’t sure if it was the game itself, my movement away from being a gamer, or just missing the game I knew so well.

My amateur impression was the following rankings: Easy to hardest to play: Protoss, Zerg, Terran Best when mastered: Terran, Zerg, Protoss I wasn’t tapped into the pro/competitive …

BGH and UMS are where I spent my entire StarCraft life. Lot of wonderful hours into those!

SCUMS! (StarCraft Use Map Settings). These maps provided a wide array of games and I believe popularized or gave birth to a few. I remember tower defense, level up games where you …

Just heard this song for the first time like a month ago, thanks for the reminder!

This has been documented already. As you begin mindfulness practices you become aware of your thoughts. You then think “gosh, I didn’t have all these thoughts before” when really y…

3 day work weeks are best. Most well paid developers would gladly take a 20% reduction in income for 50% more weekend right? So 4 days it is! Well why stop there? I’ll take another…

Oh we care plenty! Some AI round corners: hands in images, hallucinations in GPTs

They already run compute for siri for voice to text. So they could in theory still provide an LLM backed siri service for free for their customers/users.
