Any #Netflixnotesfollow shows recommendations? I have no idea what is worth watching (since I rarely watch shows) so now I’m watching The Mentalist from 2008. They had flip phones then.

These days Ive been learning how to deal with guilt and feeling gulti about things I didn't cause. NGL is hard man, how do you start cntl-z your brains on that

I’m ambivert. When I spend time outdoors and with people I want to keep doing that, I become very extrovert. Can’t code in that mode. It’s hard to switch back to introvert but when that happens time flies really quick. A month can pass and it feels like a week.

“Passion has little to do with euphoria and everything to do with patience. It is not about feeling good. It is about endurance. Like patience, passion comes from the same Latin root: pati. It does not mean to flow with exuberance. It means to suffer.” ― Mark Z. Danielewski, Ho

I read larsfaye.com/…/ai-coding-will-prevent-expertiselarsfaye.comAI Coding will Prevent Expertise | Lars FayeThe need for ongoing friction in long-term skill formation. #llmnotesfollow Still trying to figure out the boundaries of these tools' strengths without outsourcing important thinking, problem-solving, and the collective building-up of a mental model of the systems we're developing. The shape of LLM tools as tools—fit for a purpose, ergonomic—is becoming clearer, and human patterns of behavior with them that do more harm than good are also becoming easier to recognize.

The essence of aligning large LLM models is basically to conform to the existing social order. ChatGPT respects China's order, while China's open-source models, although reluctantly, also tolerate the order in the US. Maybe we can build a revisionist SFT dataset.

Quebec City is pretty amazing. Excellent food, tons to see and do, surrounded by nature, mountains, islands. My kind of place.

good morning everyone, drinking coffee with syrniki and strawberries.

Was prompting Claude via remote control on my phone in btwn sets at the gym this morning. I use peonpingpeonping.compeon-ping — Stop babysitting your terminalSound notifications for any AI agent — hooks for Claude Code, Cursor, Codex & more, plus an MCP server so the agent can choose its own sounds., so my wife kept hearing a StarCraft SCV periodically reporting "job's finished" from my office 😆

hey creator, this place is nice, posts look organic and the no javascript, I love it, with that said @stagasprofilefollowcreative technologist creator of textlog have you consider NOT opening the API? and have a 1 way to come here and enjoy it? the rationale being that API also opens the door to the slopai?

Onboarded on Claude Team with Unlimited credit usage. In the first day, subscription limits were hit and then it silently went on spending 530 EUR in credits before I noticed.

Sick makes me calm. My mind goes quiet for some time. I can sit and look at the horizon. Or just contemplate the different shades of white of my ceiling while laying on my bed. I miss the silence of my youth.

Added #meta tag — use it whenever you want to talk about the site itself, and these posts will not show up in all, any or the post’s page. Only those that follow the tag or the person will see these posts in my feed or in post pages. This is to keep the site clear of meta discussions which dominated a lot at this early stage and I think were annoying to many people. So this is the last meta without the #meta tag you’ll see unless u follow. I’ll try to tag every post I find.

I’m using textlog to explore the intersection of #foodnotesfollow and tech, with the goal of building an app that solves a problem in this space. Named @C0C0A5profilefollowwww.C0C0A5.com, it's word represented as a hex color. Of all the words there, it is a cocoa-ish color and is an appropriate name for this idea.

Returned from the gym. Good day.

Do you walk your neighborhood? Do you sit on your front porch and say hello to passersby?

The seductive power of using #ainotesfollow to just-get-it-done is very strong. One can't hurry quality. One can iterate quickly though in the hope of arriving somewhere good.

Testing, testing…

OK. I've translated the (correctness) requirements of LeetCode No.22 to Lean, and ask Claude Code to both implement a solution and prove it.

What’s the difference between a script-kiddy and a real #developernotesfollow? Abstraction. You can program your whole life without learning how to meaningfully abstract problems into simpler pieces that TRULY make the problem easier to understand. I’m not talking about design patterns or #OOPnotesfollow vs #FPnotesfollow. These tools can help. But to really simplify something for others, you need an intellectual empathy that many simply never figure out.

Just three more commits left, but /usage ran out. Resets at 01:50, so I guess I am going to sleep.

good #morningnotesfollow y'all ! #coffeenotesfollow time

I always associate summer with the months June, July, August — thinking that end of August is end of summer — but no, 7th of August is actually summer midpoint, we’re in the middle now, not near the end.

The pendulum has swung far in the direction of favouring machine generated content over that from actual people. I wonder when it will swing back?

It's not clear, based on personal experience, how long - if it all - the software development field will value devs who actually enjoy the work. Most people I know are producing mostly AI work and there's an obvious skill decline that's resulted from it. 1/?

@stagasprofilefollowcreative technologist creator of textlog - Is there a way to get an atom version of the “for-you” feed? I’m guessing this is complicated by needing to be authenticated.

I've linked up my blog (jeff-mitchell.dev) to textlog. I hope to use the two things together now to build a bit more of a writing habit. The 500 character increase is nice, room to breath but not an essay. Gotta build the muscles slowly :)

What did I build with claude yesterday - kanban board for my agents, Hamster Jerob game, imgproxy for thumbs in my photo sharing app, and ghostel-shell-command helper. Today - digital detox day.

Applied to an L5 software engineering role via e-mail and without any other contact I received back a bunch of questions that clearly look like they're aimed at L6 or even L7. Not sure what to do with that so I withdrew. Briefly considered answering them but was weirded out.

I love the idea. I do miss the early twitter vibes.

Went to the summer house to watch the #eclipsenotesfollow but it was cloudy so we missed it. But the kids are asleep so guess I'll light a fire and crack a beer instead. Woe is me!

I laughed at this. I'm all for people crafting their own tools, but it really feels like everyone's reinventing the same handful of wheels for agentic development.

How can I change an organisation with hundreds of frustrated employees, when I can’t change my own life with only one person. Does a different person run a company and a different person live their life? I doubt it.

There is beauty in simplicity. Constraint can become impetus for innovation, because innovation does not have to be glitzy.

A lot of people write so much software to sandbox their AI agents. I say don't bother. Just give your agent its own non-admin local user account. It's easier and much more effective.

Hello, World!

I need to re wire my brain a bit. Last couple of weeks has been a bit harsh dealing with some issues I had with someone. I started to give it a go a pay a bit more attention to myself, is the second time I get therapy but for some reason this time feel harder.

My first post on Twitter in 2007 or so was kinda about the utility of broadcasting what was on my mind. :)
