I have been programming since I was 12 (born in '73 #genx), currently enjoy coding in #Rust. I use Linux every day; I prefer open to closed. I try to live and let live when it comes to people's tech choices.

I work in tech but am learning how better to separate that from my passion for programming.

I used to podcast, I plan to again soon.

I practice #zazen, #qigong, and #taichi every day.

I went ahead and ordered the new D&D set since it is available early to VIP members.

VIP members also get an additional gwp, a mimic dice box. My son's second tattoo is of a mimic and I was apparently the only one to recognize what it was, even among his friends. I can't wait to show him the little brick-built one and might entice him to try the free adventure designed for the set with me.

I am reading "Shape Up" in the sunshine out on our deck.

One editorial choice I noticed and like, preferring simple words and clear explanation over jargon. The author could have used the term, opportunity cost, but didn't. They pithily described it instead, in about six words.

I think that choice for plain language is making the book faster to read and easier to internalize.

Another stellar thought from "Shape Up": 'Beware the simple question: "Is this possible?" In software, everything is possible but nothing is free.'

The stakeholders I've worked with who don't get this are the most dangerous. They are the ones least likely to actually heed or even trust developers.

I managed to finish my morning routine on time , the one I've been practicing to prepare for my new $dayjob. That included a run though only of 3.75km because I was a little later getting started than ideal.

I managed one of my better paces in a while, just under 7min/km. I only dropped to a walk briefly when turning around to head back. The warmer temperature and earlier time seemed to lend me more energy.

This movie just literally became painful to watch.

I am watching Baghead with @kamikat as our Friday night movie.

Good morning and TZAG, friends.

I am moving slowly after an enjoyable late night watching a schlocky movie with the . Our elder terrier beast is embracing the resulting lazy Saturday vibe.

Some conspicuously placed newspaper solely for plot reasons. Classic.

Love is blind. No, wait, that's justice. I guess with Toxie it is both.

If those nunchuks aren't used for a lethal blow to the nuts I'll be severely disappointed.

In his latest, I think @pluralistic put his finger right on the problem with adopting LLM's to write code.

https://pluralistic.net/2024/04/01/human-in-the-loop/

Even if LLM's were far better at generating code, he's right that this is totally a reverse centaur situation. The nature of the technology means all generated code has to be reviewed. Code review is a net drag, even in the best of circumstances, meaning LLM's in the long run won't help developers but rather place even more demands on our overloaded faculties.

At least this movie dedicates itself to the bits. In some cases literally.

Good morning and TZAG, friends.

started gray and wet. I welcome the rain, all the fresh plantings we put in the ground yesterday will benefit.

I look forward to the new episode of live streaming tonight.

In the meantime, it's a good day for projects I think. A bit of writing. Some coding. Progress on my current LEGO set.
