The best environments in software engineering are the ones you can continuously ask why something works the way it does until you get to the bare instructions. All the innovation comes from that exploration and knowledge.

Aligning people is churn. Not aligning people is creating snowflakes and churn. There is no way to win. The only winning move is not to play.

It feels exciting that I'm about to become a first generation farmer soon. Hard to believe but I don't think we had any farmers in my family in the last 150+ years.

People who are using LLMs for therapy have a fundamental lack of understanding of both psychotherapy and LLMs. Therapy is a guided debugging event, e.g. a debugger for your prompts. LLMs are tools to navigate a corpus based on a very biased and authoritative prompt.

FOMO in tech is a disease and is working against anyone who wants to tackle hard & important problems. I don't know any other sophisticated/technical industry where trends matter this much, and have this level of impact. We routinely force people to drop what they do and pivot to catch a bus they already missed.

The xz style attack is my biggest fear with generative coding. We cannot normalize unreadable code.

I don't know if AI is going to replace programmers or not but there will be a lot of jobs just to delete AI generated code.

OH: Do one thing at a time, and do it well. But then they promote you.

My 4th week of sobriety. I feel generally more energized (even though the post op recovery) but I have no social life. I'm often left home and have been dealing with isolation.

Dune II score is a masterpiece. It's been on repeat since I saw the movie two weeks ago. It makes me feel unworldly feelings... When I stepped out of the movie theater, the first thing I mentioned was complex emotions I felt during the movie that didn't seem to belong to this planet. The music was the trigger.

The last week helped us to decide that we are moving back to Europe in ~5 years. Life could be simpler and more fulfilling.

Moments after I made fun of LLMs and their sentience, they found something fishy in my EKG. Simulation is wasting no time.

I don't think I've ever been this stressed.

Air control at SFO doesn't seem to be allowing parallel landings at this moment, and they land one plane at a time. As a result, we are taking off three hours late and landing at 01.30am. SEA ✈️ SFO.

Dear Germans, have you tried turning Scholz off and on again?

I've been making my own butter, cheeses, pickled vegetables, and bread lately. I'm addicted. If someone helps me to get rid of 1000 sqft of weeds, I'll soon start growing my own veggies in the backyard.

🙃 I'm glad that AI is replacing engineers because it will take 100 years for engineers to recover from the burnout of this hype cycle 🙃
