My new goal is to, by next summer, become the greatest pole vaulter in history. But that's a pretty high bar.

Asking an AI agent to write your code is a lot like asking some person on fiverr to bang out some code for you. It'll cost you a few bucks, perhaps, in tokens and you have to scrutinize the hell out of the code you get back. but it beats working for a living.

I just learned that back in the day, TLC (The Learning Channel) was in the process of creating a programming block called Medical Mondays. They already had shows like ER, Grey's Anatomy, and House. NBC heard about it and offered Scrubs. But TLC turned them down because TLC don't want no Scrubs.

Happy Pride Month to all my trans, gay, and queer friends, family, and loved ones. In a country increasingly antagonistic, I hope this month especially you know how loved you are no matter where you are in the Alphabet Mafia.

To all those who celebrate, happy May the Fourth. And to those who don't, I find your lack of faith disturbing.

Reading a HN thread, I was reminded of the missed opportunity flutter has been for google. When dart 1 turned out to be a steaming pile, they had a chance to leverage the hordes of kotlin developers already making android apps. Instead they invented yet another language.

Found a fun bug in the new #assassinscreed. If you try to go up a hill that's too steep, you'll slide back down. But you can steer and if you steer just right, you can slide up the hill.
