Hello, friends! After 10(!) years of #AdventOfCode, I've made some changes to preserve my sanity: there will be 12 days of puzzles each December (still starting Dec 1) and there is no longer a global leaderboard. Read more:

also by that definition Bluesky mobile app is slop, which is not far-fetched given the overheat it gives to my phone.

I propose even more extreme solutions:

1. eradicate JavaScript: replace slop that is sites repackaged as "native" apps with actual native code. Rust is the new C++, Kotlin and Swift will take care of the mobile. reduce JS application to the toy-level like it should be.

Where's the Shovelware? Why AI Coding Claims Don't Add Up
78% of developers claim AI makes them more productive. 14% say it's a 10x improvement. So where's the flood of new software? Turns out those productivity claims are bullshit.

TIL: there's an AI merger in @intellijidea.com when having conflicts

If you like the magic wand when fixing merge conflicts, you'll love the AI merger!

After switching from #Windows with #WSL back to #Ubuntu I can only say that the developer experience under #Linux is much better.

I just completed "Plutonian Pebbles" - Day 11 - Advent of Code 2024 #AdventOfCode #Kotlin adventofcode.com/2024/day/11
Accidentally implemented 75 * 75 iterations 😅 But at least now I know that the performance is good.

I just completed "Hoof It" - Day 10 - Advent of Code 2024 #AdventOfCode #Kotlin adventofcode.com/2024/day/10
I misread part 1 so that I accidentally solved part 2 in it which I then could re-use for actual part 2 😅
