Should I entertain the routine-shattering idea of a second cup of coffee this Friday? show codeconsole.log(Math.random() < 0.5 ? "Yes" : "No")

Yes

replied to:

May as well go completely rogue and have a Crunchie with your second .

…

replied to:

Do you dunk the Crunchie or mush it in?

replied to:

Ewww. No, just have it alongside. Sip, scrunch, sip, scrunch. Lovely.

replied to:

Oh I misunderstood you 🤣

replied to:

Didn't have any on hand yesterday, but that has been this morning. Indulging now and then can't hurt. Good suggestion!

Lots of slop PRs at $WORK. Trying Claude Tag, works well but token-billed, daily usage over 100€ for three sessions.

replied to:

ouch, that's a month for virtually unlimited Codex. why so expensive?

replied to:

Anthropic uses token billing for Claude Tag. But it’s different from CC - it’s an AI Colleague, so I’m asking PM and EM to talk to it instead of to me - accountability switches.

replied to:

so it's expensive and you're left with dealing with the PRs others generate for you?

…

replied to:

No, Claude Tag’s PRs are my team’s. Slop PRs come from outside of the team. Anyways, dozens PRs per day is draining energy. Don’t want to review anything anymore.

Anyone read Neil Postman?

replied to:

I just google it and now I feel like I have to read it

replied to:

Do you have a recommended starting point?

…

replied to:

haven't read him but i see his "Technopoly: The Surrender of Culture to Technology" referenced a lot lately

replied to:

Started reading exactly that and man it's mind-blowing. He's not anti-tech, he's anti big-company-culture-capture. Really insightful for being written in 1998. What I appreciate is he looks at a very wide view of tech, not just modern silicone.

playtested my game at an event last night. so much fun to see people curiously prod at mysteries i constructed, and stubbornly battle its challenges. oh no i might actually have to finish this one

replied to:

Awesome! I'm reading right now and you've captured the vibe.

replied to:

ah nice, i’ll have to check that one out is it a fun read?

…

replied to:

I’m enjoying it. tbh I never played the game, but his journal entries are a fun view into the mind, insecurities and all, of someone building something they’re excited about.

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.

You can't resize an image on the internet, not even under Windows, Grok only works roughly, what follows from this, we'll have to let Gemma in, as if Linus Thorvalds had complained the other day that Linux was also flooded with AI

The 2030 release date of StarCraft: Dominion is so extreme that it feels like an indictment not only of Blizzard but indirectly of AI

They’re owned by Microsoft, of all companies. If AI hyperproductivity is real at scale, then why can’t the game come out next year? Next month?

I noticed today that I'm an idiot. I built a static site generator with NO DATA MODEL. Beginning to fix it now, but my god how embarrassing. Hobbyist less than amateur...wow. Good thing my day job isn't at stake.

I gotta confess, I vibe codet a Kirigami-based application and I liked it. I am a anti AI person, and cannot wait for the bubble to burst. Yet I see it can empower people that do not know a tech stack, and get good enough results out of it. However i also see, it makes you lazy (and frustrates as soon as it gets somewhat complicated). It seems it is being adopted everywhere. This is scary... if it becomes necessary, will you be able to find a job where they don't require you to use AI?

replied to:

I lament the death of programming as an economically-viable craft, but am also leveraging the new tools to build things and to try to stay competitive. I think we have yet to find out how agentic coding will really make sense for companies once the costs stop being subsidized. But it's clearly not going anywhere.
