Any conversation

Just get rid of it. Life is way better without phones. I haven't had a phone for five years.

I am curious how does that work for you. You should write a post about it and share.

…

how do you do things like online identification/tickets for services/events? From my experience in germany a lot of these are online only. Same with like the vaccination certificate back in covid times

Been working on website marketing materials this morning. About to dig into some work. If 'variety is the spice of life', my job is Cajun seasoning.

I read 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.

People have no idea how many news websites, SaaS websites, and apps I would subscribe to at prices of $30/year or less ($2.50/month).

I've been curious about the reasoning for prices too. Like, there has to be research behind it... But I agree it is far easier to buy four 2.5€ services than one for 5

Ahoy denizens of textlog. Like the concept.

a szerveren lévő cookie adatokat és egyéb nyomkövető sz@rokat is a Google kezeli, én nem igazán szoktam ezekből látni semmit, se ip-t, se semmit, a Google inkább keresőmotor, mint mesterséges intelligencia alkalmazás, de ma már hibrid technológiával dolgozik minden MI és kereső

Google also manages the cookie data and other tracking s@rs on the server, I don't really see anything from these, no IP, nothing, Google is more of a search engine than an artificial intelligence application, but today all AI and search engines work with hybrid technology

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/?

But does it matter if your boss doesn't care? Or if their boss doesn't care? If the paychecks keep coming who cares? What's the point of choosing the mountain if the "joy" just means more hours on screen that could have been spent elsewhere? 2/?

…

I got into doing dev work, because I thought it was fun to learn and do and I genuinely enjoyed hanging out with others who felt the same. Now, more than ever, I realize how few people feel the same. And, now - more than ever, I realize that no on cares if I feel that way. 3/?

Bosses and their bosses care more about tickets moved and LoC written than quality or knowledgeable employees. 4/4

It never did. Before AI people did webslop in node.js, before that people were slopping in Java. AI changes surprisingly little.

…

Only if you buy into the narrative that AI is "just another layer of abstraction." Which of course, it isn't.

No, it obviously isn't that. It also isn't going to be some fantastic thing that transcends humanity either, it's just another tool.

There's a few things I'd put at the top of my "things-I-least-expect" list, among which are readers on my little blog. 61 unique reads, wowee!

Are rose colored glasses pink?

Some thoughts deserve a smaller audience

Any users around? I have been customizing it to the way I work, as it is meant to be. Bent it in a way that I enjoy holding it, so to say. Maybe someone will find those useful, so I took the time to get it published. Gruntfooot is a footer customization, where you can try new colors/glyphs in real time and also has theme support.

Piflux is a coding workflow. You can steer software development by running commands that issue reasonably general prompts. /plan, /code, /review I created this because I find it very useful to have different models/ perform each of those tasks in isolated sessions. Managing this manually was very much a hassle.

I subscribe to the Tony Stark school of engineering. "Sometimes you have to run before you walk." Earlier this year, I built my own static site generator. I hate literally every static site generator out there (not joking). get-taxus.org

I have a toddler. I come home from work, cook, feed, clean, wash up. We read stories and play. I put him to bed. Then I put something on the television and my wife and I scroll on our phones until she goes to bed. I am not so careless with the little free time I have. I continue to scroll until about 1 am. The next morning I do it again. On the weekends, I get to drink wine.

I prefer to drink wine at night and read an eBook or watch when something good comes up on streaming media. Can’t always get what I prefer and that is life.

Same. And on Monday, I look back and wonder how I ever got to fit five or six things in one weekend, and now one or two things fill it up entirely. Love the little ones though, they're my world.

Hit me up if you want a long-term, low-commitment, long-distance, e-mail pen-pal. I've never had so much fun hyphenating things.

This #tome about #Tcl/Tk has me re-evaluating my plans to move to the woods to be a carpenter hermit. Now I want to move to the woods and be a programmer hermit.

im starting to really like the lack of timestamps

I had a great summer vacation

hey that's great! happy for u, places you visited?

My childhood home. I saw enough of the world, now rediscovering what changed back home.
