#AgentAnecdotes: When extra thinking only make things worse

I want to occasionally share stories of full Agentic coding sessions. I feel like it's very hard for me to calibrate my experiences against others, and I bet others are feeling the same way. I don't k...

Gravity wells and disillusionment troughs: A Practical guide to Agentic Engineering. I wrote about my journey with AI software dev. I'm starting with why, for those cynical, suspicious, or ambivalent, as I was only 2 months ago. Jump ahead if you're beyond that (linked below).

I wrote a thing. Actually I wrote it in December. But now I made a public home for it. nikkipin.ski/the-neurodiv... Watch this space. Coming later this week: A Practical Guide to Agentic Engineering.

Editor’s note: This was the last internal document I wrote at Amazon. It was written with the mentees, mentors, and friends I left in mind. But the response was really positive, and it seems to have r...

My job has changed, but not that much.

It's Cinema Appreciation Day! Nothing - *nothing* - makes me feel "Fuck Yeah This Is Why I Love Movies" more than David's yearly countdown. <3

cis women that come up to trans women to say "can i just say, i really love your vibe" should be given flowers and medals.

Can't Wait! 😍

The world must boycott the World Cup and the Olympics. It is both the only moral choice and will actually get the attention of these dead-eyed clout demons.

Don't talk to journalists about DIY HRT.

Today is my last day at AWS after 13 years!! In retrospect I don't know what else to say about it. A thread doesn't feel like enough. A book might get me sued. 💀 Onwards and forwards! I'm staying in tech but not American Big Tech. So do with that hint what you will.

Legal Eagle: Transition Goals

Fuck, I read this headline as Devops and was *SO CONFUSED*.

Narcissists are overrepresented in executive class running companies. Narcissists love sycophants. Gen AI is a sycophantic technology. Executives across all industries are obsessed with Gen AI. Gee, who could've seen that coming.

Rannking all the PWHL kits+vibes now that @pwhl--vancouver.bsky.social is ready. Worst to best. 8) Ottawa Charge. Nothing wrong with it, nothing right either. Why do Ottawa teams overindex on Canadian-red? 6/10 7) Minnesota Frost. Love the purple, the actual logo is too corporate-bland. 7/10 1/4

hoohoohee

This cut. The needle drop to Steely Dan. I burst out into tears. I'm not even kidding. One Battle After Another is as good as you heard. I cried at the end too, but it's the end of Act One that's staying with me and I can't stop thinking about the next day.

I've been surprisingly restrained with making trans girl memes, so far in my transition, even though making memes is like my love language. So here's one, in honour of fall starting properly.

God I fucking love the Peacemaker opening credits. Every single time. Send tweet.

Only 1 person in the whole study went from identifying as trans to not identifying as trans. The 1/5 number came from youth going between the binary and non-binary spectrum. This headline and post are misleading on purpose to fit the economist's editorial bent on the political issue.

A recent study found that children who transitioned young retained stable gender identities over time. But the fact that nearly a fifth of those in the group did not ought to give advocates of irreversible medical interventions pause

Would it be too overly-online to start describing Charlie Kirk as a lolcow?

So yes npm is the Node Package Manager, but it is not an acronym for Node Package Manager, it is an acronym for "npm is NOT an acronym", which is kind of a homage to the acronym GNU which, you know how when most people refer to Linux what they're actually referring to is, in fact, GNU/Linux, and...

So, I don't think it's great that the late-night host responses l to the Kimmel thing was to make a version of the same joke by mockingly "acquiescing" to Trump by praising him. The fascists don't care. They can't tell sarcasm. Mock surrender to censorship is still surrender to censorship.

The FBI is preparing to label transgender people as “violent extremists” in the wake of Charlie Kirk’s murder: www.kenklippenstein.com/p/fbi-readie...

He forgot to mention that Comedy would now be illegal everywhere else in America.

Megyn Kelly says it best, MAGA got so upset that an educated Black man became president that they’ve chosen to destroy all that makes America great and want it to become a white ethnostate to ensure it never happens again. Everything happening today is because Obama was a successful president.

Megyn Kelly blames Obama for America’s divisions in reaction to Charlie Kirk’s murder
