Dear Claude, Please stop making style changes to my code that are unrelated to the task at hand. Yes, I do in fact review your changes so I would rather they be reviewable and change as little as possible. Yes, sometimes your style might be an improvement, but now is not the time.

So, for those of you out there named Claude... Y'all changing your name or just accepting everyone thinking you are a bot online?

What a roller coaster ride this agentic coding thing is. It’s the most fun I’ve ever had programming. So many scary things about the change, but damn I don’t miss trying to remember syntax when switching between several different languages. I’m quite content focusing on bigger picture decisions.

McDonald’s Double Cheesy Melt is a miss :( Bring back my triple pickle PLEASE

You think RAM is expensive? Wait until you need a 32TB SSD to store all the damn skills you need for you LLMs to work effectively.

The exhausting thing about programming with AI is talking about what "works better". Its hard or impossible to verify these conclusions. How can you be sure you didn't luck into a better claude planning session this time? Did it actually do a better job or did it just feel that way?

The best thing that AI does is write code using libraries with horrible docs. What a hateful thing to do by hand that is.

In a world where LLMs need natural language input, you best believe I've hot keyed dictation to a button on my mouse. You're gonna have to work hard to convince me that you're able to type faster than a Newfoundlander can speak.

I am worried that this is a fork in the road moment where some zoomers will become boomers because they never learn how to work well with LLMs. You know how your dad can't figure out password managers? I think the new equivalent might be not using LLMs, or just prompting them with stock settings.

New Year's Resolutioners in the gym is a good thing.

I am glad that the term "AI slop" is adequately insulting of the uninspired garbage that is being mass produced and force-fed to me.

If you ask me, the vibe is that vibe coding does not produce useful products.

I've been buying nice cheeses lately and its so worth it. Sure it might be "expensive groceries" but it's only a few bucks extra and creates way more happiness per dollar than fast food ever could.

ChatGPT 5.1 has been great so far. The goal is for it to take longer and give worse answers right?

Metroid Prime 4 is the first game I’ve owned that runs 120fps so I bought a new television just to play it. Worth it.

Maybe Anthropic were just trying to order dim sum for the office but they have become out of touch with money and didn’t realize the bill looked a little high for some xiaolongbao.

Nothing better than the sound of a test "Emergency Alert" in the morning.

I am a Hey Siri power-user (allow me some creative license). But ever since iOS 26 it has become useless in my experience. She will light up *most times* but often fail to hear the command, or fail to complete the task. I’m talking simple stuff like setting and alarm or a reminder or sending a text.

Working on my own vehicle doesn’t seem to save me any money but it saves me from having a relaxing weekend.

It’s pretty humbling to walk into a lane swim and realize that your life is in the hands of a 16 year old and they are fully capable of saving you.

Stop removing tactile buttons from vehicles. I don’t want to have to choose between looking for my climate control buttons and having to deal with a sudden suddenly fogged up windshield. WOULD YOU LIKE FOR ME TO CRASH?

CocoaPods should rebrand to Ruby Off the Rails.

I spent a good portion of my gaming hours this year playing through the old Metroid games that I had. I played through Metroid, Super Metroid, Metroid Prime 1, 2 & 3, and I have never been more ready for a new installment of a series. I also own Other M but I skipped it... Sue me.

The way my 90lb malamute and my 4lb chihuahua get along gives me hope for the world

I don’t want to end daylight savings, I want to make it permanent.

If you are looking to exercise some of that "moderation" everyone is always talking about: The Triple Pickle McCrispy is the best thing McDonald's has ever put on the menu. Order it with extra everything.
