code quality is about coupling.
coupling is not a technical property of the code bytes.
code acquires its meaning in contact with the cultural environment, and coupling is about meaning.
two constants with no semantic relationship are nonetheless coupled in pragmatics if they refer to the same domain concept.
if your goal is to minimise the time integral of future work, you must understand your domain: it decides which lines will need changing.
to carve up a codebase is to carve up the world.

I can't figure out what's leaking on my '73 F250. Shows up slowly at the back of the oil pan. It's pretty clear because I've recently changed fluids and scrubbed the engine.
It was definitely brake fluid for a while after it was overfilled but that has evened out. The oil level is steady after when checking every 10 miles or so.
I think anyway... hard to know with these ๐ฌ
hello world ~ i'm a web developer from midwest, usa. it's been awhile since i worked on anything. since the i've been working my way up the ladder at a blue-collar job; i was promoted to team lead last week. but as i browse hacker news everyday, my cravings for web development increases.
Testing this quiet corner of the web. I collect small notes about everyday tools ๏ฟฝ๏ฟฝ file formats, tiny utilities, offline workflows. First post is just a hello; longer notes will follow once I settle in. Plain text feels good after years of heavy editors.
szรณval technikailag nem adatkรถzpontnak neveznรฉm a fลterminรกlt, hanem maximum vallatรณszobรกnak MI รผgynรถkรถk rรฉszรฉre, jelenleg el vagyok akadva a Windows 11 telepรญtรฉsnรฉl, รฉs nรฉhรกny kรถnyvet รฉs scriptet mรฉg lementenรฉk rรณla รบgy biztonsรกgilag, mielลtt belefognรฉk a vallatรณszoba kialakรญtรกsรกba, itt tรฉnyleg olyan sandbox van, amibลl nincs nagyon merre mรกszkรกlni, kivรฉve, ha direkt kikรผldรถm valamelyik webes alkalmazรกsra
So technically I wouldn't call the main terminal a data center, but more of an interrogation room for MI agents. I'm currently stuck installing Windows 11, and I'd like to download some books and scripts just to be safe before I start building the interrogation room. It's really a sandbox here, with nowhere to go except if I send it directly to a web application.

Also venturing into having agents enable more of my work - let us see how that goes.
I notice that language models are much better at programming than at writing. This is largely because, in programming, they have a closed feedback loop that allows them to find errors. Writing is much more complicated because the feedback is much more diffuse and delayed over time. In fact, it is often not well-defined.
