my precious boy. my moonbeam child, my wave upon the sand. if the only thing keeping people from thinking your writing is LLM-generated is that it has em dashes in it. the problem is not the em dashes

I think the issue a lot of devs have with AI is that they haven’t realized that they’re project managers now. PMs don’t write the code for their projects, they herd developers who are probabilistic, idiosyncratic, who interpret requirements differently, etc. It’s all been shifted one layer deeper.

So… my cat Phyllis peed on some clothes on the floor in my bedroom. I trusted you Phyllis, I fed you and protected you from the dog, and this is how you repay me?

I was playing Nick Harrison’s “Art Official Soul” on Spotify and my wife said “how dare you bring that into my house.” For those who don’t know, it’s 100% AI-generated covers of songs done in an old-school soul style. I said “but does it sound good?” And her response? “I don’t care.” Fatality.

See, I knew there must have been a greater purpose in making ChatGPT widely available to the unwashed masses like me. How else would I have learned this nugget of traditional Chinese medicine?

between diarrhea and constipation, which would most correspond to yin and yang? In traditional Chinese medicine terms (very roughly mapped): Diarrhea aligns with excess yin or deficient yang. Reason: loose stools, cold symptoms, lack of digestive “fire,” fluids moving too quickly. Constipation aligns with excess yang or deficient yin. Reason: dryness, heat, slowed movement, too little moisture to lubricate the bowels. It’s not a perfect one-to-one, but that’s the standard correspondence.

Just fired up the Zed editor for the first time. I like it so far. Ported over my MCP settings and configured it to use Shopify’s internal AI proxies, and it’s cooking.

I am really loving the Rust language. I like how it forces me to be technically correct, which is the best kind of correct. And it’s not so hard, really. I thought so back before I learned Typescript and a little C#, but now I realize the difficulty for me was always types, coming from Python and JS

My one college class that I’m enrolled in hangs over me every week. Just like in days of yore, I put it off until the last minute and cram it through at the last second. Never change, Dan. Never change.

After my trip to Amsterdam, I think I’m ok on Heineken beer for… basically ever. But, as my boss said, there’s a difference between Heineken and free Heineken.

So many things to catch up on while I was out at @perfnow.nl: - @cursor.com.web.brid.gy Cursor 2.0 dropped, I'm excited to work with their new agent flow - @cloudflare.social dropped Telescope, a fledgeling replacement for WPT (RIP). github.com/cloudflare/t... - I've decided to learn @rust-lang.org
