Why am I writing this? I just clicked on a YouTube link and made the mistake of looking at the suggested videos while not being signed in. MULTIPLE fake doctor videos with multiple hundred thousand of views. Some with over a million. As a tech nerd that makes me furious.

Disposable Code Is Here to Stay, but Durable Code Is What Runs the World
Every day I seem to run into yet another post with someone solemnly opining that “writing code has never been the hardest part of software engineering. And hey, that’s smashing.

Honestly, the greatest strengths of AI-driven programming (for me at least) are: - VERY fast prototyping (especially UI stuff) - Utility / automation scripts that I would never-ever had the energy to write myself - Help with debugging - FIXTURES in tests - Writing tests for me ...and that's a lot.
Happy to finally share that our Animal Well Documentary (@animalwell.bsky.social) will officially premiere on @secondwindgroup.com on Thursday, February 27th at 10 AM CT. Very excited to finally get this project out there, and grateful to have had the opportunity to tell this story.

until the time comes for me to try jj, I've tried git-absorb only to realize... what a lovely tool it is I've known about it for a while, but have been sleeping on it for far too long 😭 saves me so much time editing commits as I review my own PRs & fix subtle issues in commits
