going to university to mess around with computers pfp by @giacomocavalieri.me

There are two wolves. One always lies. One controls the lever of trolley track. They're in a state of superposition inside a box. On the trolley are infinite monkeys at infinite typewriters going to an infinite hotel. The trolley must first travel halfway, but before that a quarterway, and so on...

The more I work in the @gleam.run compiler, the more impressed I am with all of the existing work it does. There is a lot of interesting stuff that goes into compiling pattern matching into efficient JavaScript.

Anyway I do think it’s cool to build a computer program that tells you to go to hell when you try to use it for your racist blog post

real person on the bus "do you want a ham sandwich?" "no" "I swear it has no cocaine in it!" WHAT

what has happened to the @bitwarden.bsky.social Firefox extension? it has slowed down to the point where every interaction(key presses, navigation, etc.) makes me wait a second or two before it responds. signing in and autofill is still fine, thankfully.

The fundamental thing that affects engineering quality is labor bargaining power, not technology. You can give engineers the best possible tools (or agentic coding models) but no amount of technology can protect against management pressure to cut corners

Fix your hearts or die. You know how many of us joke that Pride month should be followed by Wrath? This year I feel a deep, burning fury towards all who use transgender lives as political propaganda. We are human beings. You cannot erase us. Happy Pride. Trans liberation at any cost. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

A digital illustration showing a knight in full armour. They are riding on a black steed which is mostly out of frame. The frame in question is green and shows a chain going around as a decorative element. That chain is broken by the knight's raised sword. From the knight's chest bursts a roaring flame in the colours of the trans pride flag.

Inviting controversy with this take, which is outside of my comfort zone, but I do stand by it. You can generate good quality code with LLMs, it “just” requires a tonne of human oversight and automated guard rails. Got a week off then I’ll be building my first proper post with webernetes. Stoked.

Our own @samwho.dev ported Kubernetes to the browser. Like a real flippin' cluster with lifecycles, DNS, and a simulated network. It's ~100k lines of TypeScript, almost all written by LLMs, but with every line reviewed by hand to keep it slop-free ↓ ngrok.com/blog/i-porte...

Visited the docs site for Redis, the "Context Engine for my AI Apps" today. The browser tab used 1 GB of RAM, the site was not properly responsive on narrow viewports, and switching between languages in the example snippets made the page hang for 5 seconds each time. Baffling.
