AI is like a calculator: Even though it can technically calculate the derivative of a fractal, unless you understand what that means, how to apply it and what to do with the result, it doesn't serve you any good. Vibe is the same way: Unless you know what you are building, it will flop...

Prompt Principals Prompt Engineering was so 2024, welcome to prompt principals in 2026!

The problem with fixed prompts like this is they may be tuned for a very specific task, but if something changes in the model or you use them for a completely different model, it renders that prompt useless.

I type something out and think it's just a sentence or two, but when I hit [Enter] and see what all I've written out, I find it's an incredible paragraph, maybe two or three and it kinda scares me... I never knew I could publish so much in what seems like such a small message...

This is one of a few sessions I'm going to hold about "How to Git" since release management can be a bit of a challenge. This is me addressing that via this post.

It's not enough that I succeed, but you too must also find your balance, happiness and peace.

Unpopular opinion: A Python script is AI. It's artificial, meaning made by humans and its intelligence in that it makes a decision. It may not be LLM-level of intelligence, but even then, LLM is basically a probabilistic matrix equation. Most LLM-based stuff is in Python if not C/C++ anyways.

What would it mean to you if you started dreaming about giving your update in scrum? Would you consider that a nightmare? 😳😱 or engaged?

After seeing how @n8n.io version 2 is coming about, I'm reminded heavily about how Jenkins and Travis operate...
With the advent of Task Runners, these look eerily like Jenkins workers. Loving the updates and seeing similar interfaces!

Just fucking use HTML Stop reinventing the wheel. The web was doing just fine before your bloated frameworks crawled out of the sewer.

Question: Should you get an email when someone tries to login, gets your username correct but incorrect password?
I notice not a lot of places will send or even give option to send email on failed login attempt.

Companies that implement AI in the recruiting and onboarding process are not "reducing workload requirements".

They are making an already painful, arduous and highly disconnected process worse...

So, I noticed a thing when customizing ChatGPT today. Looks like if you goto Settings -> Peronalization -> Custom Instructions, there's a drop-down to specify what kind of personality you want in responses...

People are having such a fit over OpenAI's "leak" of conversations with ChatGPT when thousands of people's financial transactions are public on Venmo and nobody bats and eyelash... 🙄 okay, whatever ....
