Project Hail Mary was frankly excellent. A really enjoyable film.

Get off the internet today, it's not worth it

That's wicked. I would love it here, such an interesting and simple-to-use solution

I hope the oil crisis spurs more interest in solar here in Canada. I would love to set up some balcony solar panels.

I suppose the second time it wasn't live

Guess who drilled into two live electrical circuits today... Twice

Man, the AI bubble is going to pop so fucking hard thanks to... err... the Iran war?

Not what I had on my bingo card but I'll take it

Two Pillars of (Engineering) Management

I wrote a long rant about "AI" today in which I described Jack as an "insepid Rasputin-drawn-from-memory and serial company-destroyer", but I'm not sure posting it on my blog is a good idea in this environment.

Couldn't waste that burn, though.

Truly incredible the amount of damage Elon and Jack have done to the tech industry in a few short years.

Today would have been a beautiful day for skiing but my skis are in the shop noooooooooooooooooooooooo

I was just talking about this with my manager and skip today. There's definitely a bit of a glass ceiling in these sorts of roles.

Not sure if unscrupulous business or North Korean espionage ops

New Epstein files = war in Iran after market close

It's incredible beautiful outside but far too cold for my cameras :(

I can’t speak for everyone, but my mind tends to treat writing an article, making a video, writing a song, cooking a meal, drawing an image, and, apparently, designing software the same way. It’s not a matter of just “generating” something perfect from my head, but exploring the tension that exists between what I’m imagining and the limitations of my stupid meat body. That’s actually the exciting part. It also lets me figure out if something has turned out wrong or just resulted in a happy accident. Vibe coding, like every new trend coming out of Silicon Valley, turns this process — the entire act of creativity, itself — into a slot machine. One more pull on the AI and maybe it will figure it out for you. You won’t understand how any of it works, of course, or feel particularly proud of what you’ve done, but maybe you’ll have something. Just a few more dollars for some more tokens. C’mon, just pay a bit more.

That is fine. I don't have any issues using it as an editorial tool.

I *despise* people using AI to write announcements at work. If you can't be bothered to write it, why should I bother reading it?

Please don't give your healthcare data to ChatGPT.

Not when some exec gets wind of the technology...

Watch product orgs that couldn't give a shit about KMP suddenly decide that cross-platform is the future docs.swifdroid.com/app/

Of course the real casualty in all of this is the integrity of the FIFA Peace Prize

Oh no I think I want a Leica Monochrom

And so begins my annual Christmas tradition of reading about Haskell, only to forget it all within a week of Jan 1st

Pro-res zoom is quite impressive right up until it creates Eldritch horrors

Remarkable that Spotify can't get something as table stakes as syncing changes in playlists between two devices right

I'm building a PoC for work and finding that yeahhh... this very much seems to be the case. Still, exciting stuff for the future.

Jesus this is a game changer, I had no idea this was being worked on. Thanks for the deep-dive, @skydoves.bsky.social!

Trillions Spent and Big Software Projects Are Still Failing Why do software failures persist despite soaring IT budgets? Dive into the complexities that keep success elusive.

"Few IT projects are displays of rational decision-making from which AI can or should learn. As software practitioners know, IT projects suffer from enough management hallucinations and delusions without AI adding to them." spectrum.ieee.org/it-managemen...
