Throwback to a gem of an article that starts with one of the hardest lines in computer literature: > “Every line of code is written without reason, maintained out of weakness, and deleted by chance” Jean-Paul Sartre’s Programming in ANSI C. programmingisterrible.com/post/1392226...
Write code that is easy to delete, not easy to extend.

Exactly this is what I feel this days (months)
LLM fatigue - from Jamison Dance blog but coined by Chad
Me: Hey LLM can you reduce this code? LLM: We could use this well stablished, defined and already used on the code base function, but the actual code is minimal now (3 lines). Yo know what is also minimal not having those 3 lines.
I spent the last year learning a hard truth: high-quality work and hitting every metric doesn’t always lead to success. Macro shifts or a client’s subjective mood can easily displace months of hard work. I used to think the effort guaranteed the outcome, but the reality is much more fragile.
I’m proud to say that at Kaidev, we choose a different path: - Privacy first: Cookieless and GDPR compliant analytics only. - Clean experience: No ads, no weird paywalls; just honest, organic services. - Web-first: We prioritize the browser. No begging you to install an app or PWA.

This is getting out of hand. Using an LLM doesn’t make you a developer; it makes you a child with a crayon. You’re doodling on paper and expecting high results, but your work belongs on a fridge at most. I’m tired of the delusion.
For once I did com up with and idea, execute it with AI and then publish it, no second thoughts, just raw willingness to benchmark something and then publish it. github.com/KaidevLabs/l... Something stupid and silly but useful to me.

Me: Buys something expensive, asks for an invoice. Them: Sends invoice.pdf (it is not an invoice). Me: "Please send me the real invoice; here is my tax data." Them: "Oh, sorry! Here you go: invoice.pdf." Me: "Correct! Except my data is still not in there." This is exhausting.
When does your brain start hitting you with an unstoppable amount of ideas? For me, it’s usually the third day of vacation, and it doesn't let up until day five. Anyone else get the "holiday brain" spark?
Skills is just a way to spend more tokens per call change my mind
We spend a bunch of tokens now so that we can spend more tokens later to fix the broken tokens now.

25 years ago… DS was good but this was peak design
Why are things I bought as a kid, turning 25 years old, all of a sudden? I remember being on the fence about getting the Sp, since I already had the standard Gba. Thats screen made it more than worth it tho, actually seeing stuff was great!
AI made me believe that I could make a nvim plugin in matter of seconds...
Has anyone coined the term "vibe testing" yet? Can I claim it? Jokes aside, how do you keep practicing TDD in this world of LLMs and AI? For me, it starts with asking for the test first, but 100% of the time the assistant or agent just goes ahead and passes the test (moves to green) automatically.
I mentioned TDD in an earlier post, and it became clear from the responses that there's some confusion about what TDD is. TDD stands for test-driven _development_ (or design). The "test-driven" is an adjective modifying the word "development" (or "design"). 1/10
Reading a lot of different opinions and budgets... (on Telegram) Now my question went from budget to "I'm even using the right tool?" What to do you use the most? VSCode, Cursor, Claude code, opencode,... 👂

So simple it’s genious
sunday morning and i'm posting from a markdown file. no app, no dashboard, no $20/mo scheduler. social-queue: drop a .md in a folder, it posts to bluesky, mastodon, linkedin. filesystem is the database. this post was a git push: https://github.com/fberrez/social-queue #opensource #buildinpublic
