each year i become more convinced that professional software development deliberately perverts the enjoyment of programming
and it doesn't have to be this way

a programming language that throws pizza parties?
Thought experiment: Most programming languages were designed in an era where mostly one programmer coded in isolation. If you were designing a language for modern collaborative programming/commenting/etc., what would you change? How would you *modify* existing languages?

i hate to admit it but it seems talking to LLMs like corpos works best;
doing praise and criticize / feedback sandwich produced best results
ie "this is great work. Can you blah blah blah? I love the work so far"
Also saying "homie" works well too.

It's always so remarkable to me how simple a tree traversal algorithm can be in Clojure
This is 10 lines of code (sans docstring of course).

if you want LLMs to write more of your "favourite programming language" for you
you don't have a favourite programming language.
You have a technology tribe.

Whelp so much for going to Conj and TwitchCon 🙃
Finally.
A major media outlet has finally reported on Trump’s total travel ban for transgender visa applicants seeking the United States.
I had to scream for two days to get someone else to report on it.
It is NOT just for athletes.

State Department visa policy could bar trans people from traveling to U.S.
Violations could result in travel bans beyond just athletes

When people say Devin is like a replacement for an intern or junior developer, I can’t help but wonder if they’re sourcing developers from a pre-school

2024 was wild.
- dated my exes
- stayed freelance after all
- started twitch & made partner
- climbed out of 2023 unemployed debt
- made every mistake with my course
- still single
- tired
For 2025 I want to downsize my apartment, and focus on course & twitch.

Humans don’t have benchmarks like ARC
We have intuition and emergence about other humans from social cues and shared evolution.
Despite what the benchmarks show, it’s pretty obvious when we’re consuming AI generated content.
Human touch will always be necessary.
