So far I like the ChatGPT app, except for the name. If the goal is to become a “super app,” having “chat” in the name feels a little awkward. Then again, everyone already knows the name. Funny how naming things is hard, even outside of programming.
Forgot my AirPods case at home, but somehow it feels more like I left behind a sock. Mildly concerning.
Accretive design. Every change is the smallest possible delta, so no step feels wrong. But over time, the accumulation is worse than a real refactor. This is where AI fails. Each step looks good in the moment. You only see the mess when you step back. If you ever do.
Thought the elevator got really slow today. Turns out I just forgot to press the button. Same elevator speed as always.
Throughput was off and I could not figure out why. Thought I should be getting 25 Gbps. Turns out the problem was one letter: m8g.2xlarge -> m8gn.2xlarge Just needed the n. 🤦🏼♂️
K8s is cool and it has its place. But sometimes a plain ASG with a handful of big boxes is enough. Feels like a lot of teams go distributed way too early and light performance on fire for architecture points and the privilege of managing more instances, more moving parts, and more overhead.
TIL: S3 Files needs sunrpc tuning for decent throughput, especially on a single machine. Without it, you won’t come close to the throughput most boxes can deliver.
I’ve tried a bunch of code review agents the past few months, mostly Rust. Overall (features, UX, extras): @coderabbitai.bsky.social > @kilocode.ai > @greptile.bsky.social > Codex > Gemini Code Assist > Claude Code > Cursor Bugbot There’s a clear gap between #1 and #2 here. Code-only in thread
What… no, it’s not fine! 🤦🏼♂️Dry-run exists for a reason. Welp, I guess we’ll see what breaks in 20 minutes…
Oh this is fun. My LA brain is not fully comprehending what this means.

New 'Zombie ZIP' technique lets malware slip past security tools
A new technique dubbed "Zombie ZIP" helps conceal payloads in compressed files specially created to avoid detection from security solutions such as antivirus and endpoint detection and response (EDR) ...

Thanks @coderabbitai.bsky.social. Just the right touch of silliness to bring a smile to my face :) "🐰 I hopped through slabs and frames today, Tokens tucked away, gone astray — Split-points whisper, quiet and neat, No more pages, just ranges to meet. The rabbit cheered: simpler beats complete! 🥕"
Codex is incredible at writing code, but soo bad at almost everything else. It writes some code. Me: “Err… I don’t get it. Can you explain?” Codex: “Sure.” Then it proceeds to explain the code… with more code. Me: “No worries, Codex. I’ll ask Claude instead. Thanks for the hieroglyphics tho” 😂
Go slow, to go fast. I feel like I have to repeat this to myself multiple times a day.
“I’m honestly not sure how plan mode handles this. The concern is valid — if the planning phase and execution phase don’t share the same context, the executor might not know to update beads status.” - Claude (Opus 4.6) “I’m honestly not sure…”. I’ve never been this happy to get a rejection. 😍
