LLMs are roombas. You let them do their thing and tell everyone how much time they save, even though, most of the time you still need to go in and vacuum in the remaining spots yourself.

Programming challenges in 2026. I have a project called harald, the machines keep trying to read from a folder called harold that does not exist. Who do I call to fix this tokenization issue?

I think the funniest part of developing apps with #atproto is writing to my PDS while developing and then always getting surprised when it shows up on the production site automagically. How are people handling this? Its like always having your DB env pointing to prod.

Half the time I use LLLMs I feel like a god. The other half it feels like I'm trying to peel a cucumber with a banana slicer where the blades are dull and plastic. And I have this nagging feeling that it would have been faster if I hadn't been lazy and just had used my normal knife from the start.

2020: should I do this thing or spend 30 min automating it? 2026: should I do this thing or spend 30 min explaining to Claude how I want it?
