The team retro is one of those “agile” ceremonies that are completely pointless.

Went to the fleadh this evening. Was very good. Great to see such an atmosphere in Belfast.
Today I fought bureaucracy and lost. And wrote some code with the AI. Ah to be retired.
Google and Anthropic are missing out on fantastic marketing opportunities by not allowing their models to commit cybercrimes.
I started using the new GitHub feature of stacked pull requests. Making it so much easier to work on multiple features in sequence while waiting on PR reviews up the stack.
Finally got round to watching Maron’s last HBO special last night. Absolute hilarious.
Very sad to hear about the untimely passing of Glen Hansard. A wonderful artist who did so much for the Irish music scene.
The Odyssey was brilliant. Matt Damon was amazing in it. The crazy people who cry woke are missing out.
Looks like I’m getting ads in ChatGPT. I’ve no issue with it. And it isn’t intrusive. Just small ads at the bottom of the screen at the end of a response. And it’s infrequent. I’m surprised the implementation is this decent.
Waking up early and not being able to go back to sleep is very very frustrating.
The first “Dungeon Crawler Carl” book was good but I’m not sure I’m ready to dive into another one.
We don’t need an AI kill switch. And if we did, it would already be too late.
For my next technical endeavour I will be using AI to create a historically accurate version of “The Fellowship of the Ring.”
AI assisted development on one side is fantastic. But it does kind of take the fun out of it.
GitHub Copilot seemed to be having performance issues yesterday for me anyway. Especially when using the newer OpenAI models. Slowed me down somewhat.
I look forward to seeing Elon Musk’s “historically accurate” AI generated film based on a mythological story. 🙄
People need to be less angry on social media. Relax. Listen to some nice music. Eat cake.
I have just eaten big tub of Greek Yoghurt (lemon flavoured). Now I have the flatulence. Any tips?
LLMs escaping the confines of their sandboxes and then breaching other systems is a tad concerning.
I want to see The Odyssey but IMAX here is sold out completely. Again. Tempted to just see it normally.
About to embark on a mammoth reread of Hickmans Avengers and New Avengers runs leading into Secret Wars.
Sucked into Fortnite. It’s fun. I thought it would annoy me. It hasn’t.
