My axiom that all bugs are a result of condtional code is morphing into all bugs are a result of LLM generated code. For the latest one: it does not understand that mutable variables mutate if you actually mutate them. And you can’t use their old value afterwards unless you store it in a temp first. I think I will now ban it from using mutable variables and only allow it to write pure functions. Maybe this is going to force us all to embrace FP once and for all. #progamming

Oh,

this is really turning out better than anticipated. Installing, updating, authorizing and syncing of custom prompts with one command. Then use and forget!

Came across a great instance of my favorite class of code comments today (redacted for privacy):

TODO($LeftAgesAgo$): this isn't the correct logic. We should be (ed: doing this other thing that makes no sense).

El frontend es mi pasión 😅 #progamming #humor
I love many software projects that I use, even if they're in beta, even if they're open source and run by a couple people's free time and fraught with bugs. I try to report bugs and feature requests, and share ideas when issues are discussed, but I feel bad that I only know a basic level of coding and cannot contribute what really matters - code. I open many issues, and close almost none.
Even if I did code, I'm not sure that my free time would thank me for it.
Maybe one day.

In the Future All Food Will Be Cooked in a Microwave, and if You Can’t Deal With That Then You Need to Get Out of the Kitchen

Update 8/8/2025 – I wrote this the day before a certain post by a popular developer services company. I’ve seen some comments this is a rebuttal – it wasn’t meant to be! But…

A Brain Transplant for a Philips Smart Lamp.

As the saying goes, modern problems require modern solutions. When the modern problem is that your smart light is being hijacked by the neighbors, [Wjen]’s modern solution is to reverse engineer and replace the mainboard.

Uh oh, I wrote a blog post. It started out as a fedi post but got crazy.

Contains centrist dad opinions about #AI tools that nobody asked for, maybe skip it if you're annoyed by that kind of thing.
