Quitting my last job for this one might be the best thing I’ve done since I tricked my wife into marrying down.

My mental and physical health has improved a ton.

This is how I feel about vibe coding

“Claude can you help me with this”

“Sure, taking a look”

you’ve exceeded your allotted token limit

Oops.

This is why I call scrum masters scrumlords.

Thankfully my boss is hands off so I took a walk and then worked on an internal tooling side project that really only I will appreciate.

I wish I had that luxury with work.

All my personal stuff is 100% unaffected though!

This is my workday now

I store iso country codes and use them as the primary key in a countries table.

That’s a bit fucked up.

The pedophile thing?

There are solid gold or platinum asteroids out there, but God only gave us the resources of earth in the bible.

So God is definitely richer than Disney.

Fascinating study

First thing I remember, was asking Scrum Master “Why”?
For there were many things I didn’t know
And Scrummy always smiled, took me by the hand
Saying, “Someday you’ll understand”

Well I’m here to tell you now, each and every scrum,
You’d better learn it fast, you’d better learn it young
'Cause tech debt sprint never comes

The time and tears went by, and I collected story points
For there were many things I didn’t know
When Scrummy went away, he said “Try to be a PM
And someday you’ll understand”

Well I’m here to tell you now, each and every scrum,
You’d better learn it fast, you’d better learn it young
'Cause tech debt sprint never comes

And then, one day in April, I wasn’t even there
For there were many things I didn’t know
An intern was given to me, Scrummy held his hand,
Saying “Someday you’ll understand”

Well I’m here to tell you now, each and every scrum
You’d better learn it fast, you’d better learn it young
'Cause tech debt sprint never comes
Ooh, tech debt sprint never comes.

Think it was September, the year I went away
For there were many things I didn’t know
And I still see him standin’, tryin’ to be a PM
I said, “Someday you’ll understand”

Well here I am to tell you, each and every scrum
You’d better learn it fast, you’d better learn it young
'Cause tech debt sprint never comes.
Ooh, tech debt sprint never comes.

Honestly for me it was when we moved in that things started getting more calm.

I did not like all the uncertainty of the transaction hanging above my head.

Now it’s been a few years and we’ve added gardens and done a few upgrades and we have our furniture and spaces, and it’s my happy place.

Amen

And to add that smart people fall for dumb biases, we just need to look at the object oriented mania of the 2000s to late 2010s to see us shoehorn in one paradigm into everything without critically considering whether it made sense over other models.

Can an LLM do everything I need yet? No.

But is a stochastic parrot good enough to help me complete a function and help me restructure code? Yes definitely.

Claude is good enough for so much of the low value code I write that is actually a useful tool. I have to review the code but it’s useable.

I use AI search to lookup functions that I don’t need detailed docs for, or to help me debug arcane library specific errors (just had one earlier today where in polars the list and array types are very much not interchangeable and the explode method was failing).

I still read the docs on things that are critical, and I write the critical paths and dictate structure and understand the problem im solving well.

This took less than 3 days.

Less than 3 days of mild protest in one city and Trump is saying the governor needs to be arrested and is using the military against civilians.

This wasn’t even classed as a riot.

There are good cops out there, and we need to recognize them.

But we certainly can’t assume any given cop is one of them, and there are lots of bad cops playing Good Cop making it even harder.

That’s one hell of a URL

I had no idea .gay was a valid tld.

I’ll be honest, I’ve never found regex that difficult, bit if you cannot read or write it, then it seems incredibly dangerous to blindly trust output from an AI.
