Hello! I am a cynical optimist and recovering realist. It's been 3 days since my last sip of Hobbes. Today, I'm hopeful again. That's all I have for now. Thanks.

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.

Someone can create enormous value while their manager controls the narrative around that value. Conversely, a manager can conceal structural problems because the people capable of exposing them depend on that same manager for evaluation and promotion

Just got Moshi set up - a phone-friendly terminal app. Works well with Herdr for persistent agents, friendly UI. Verdict so far: looks like I'll be working more from my phone.

A couple of afternoons of the jinn coding harness and glm-5.3 and my taxus static site generator is properly whipped into shape. get-taxus.org It now has a frickin' data model, that's documented, as well as installers for your platform of choice. Try it, break it, I'll be doing the same. Let me know where it broke for you.

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 😆

What if AI will never reach full autonomy and humans are still needed to give direction and purpose and take responsibility - probably... not all humans like to be masters of AIs all day long and not all (who want to) can do that equally well.

I lately been a bit curious of strudel io and the live coding movement. I have found some cool artist but if you have any recommendation feel free to drop it.

At moms house for the holiday weekend so the kids can see Nana. She has a "premium Plex" account on her tv serving a truly massive amount of content. Allegedly the brother of a long time friend is offering the "service". She says that the service will go down when the host is having outages, so the infra is likely local. I brought my year this weekend. We are going to dig in to this guys operation. Intuition dictates that there is some hand rolled accounting going on. I'd like to see it.

Math class -_-

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?

hű, de izgalmas, most kúszik fel a Gemma 4 LLM a silent hawk laptopra, a dual boot-os főterminál már nem bírta az osztályharcot, remélhetőleg nem kell hozzá se vpn, se statikus ip, VirtualBoxba jön az OpenClaw ügynök, majd a humanities informatikai projekten belül beszámolok róla
