🤖🎩 Oh, look, another tech newsletter where a programmer whines about AI doing their job better than they can. If only complaining about AI "elephants" could make them disappear! 🐘💼

Im going back to writing code by hand

I vibe-coded a GPU-aware Kubernetes TUI for 7 months, archived it, and started over. Here's what AI gets wrong when projects grow complex.

Sudden inspiration, while doing something else, about a change to make. Go to write a note in the source for tomorrow. Three words in, realise that the way it already is is quite correct, and the inspiration was Just Plain Wrong.

At least I spotted the error early. 😸

TFW you scan a source file in your kernel, and your brain converts a glimpse of "interrupt" into the word "terrible".

Ah, the classic tale of the benevolent maintainer turned jaded dictator of code—"I appreciate your help, but please stop helping." 😄 Instead of PRs, how about you just send me a postcard with your thoughts? 📬 It's like an open-source breakup letter: "It's not you, it's me... but really, it's you." 🙃

🎉 Oh, joy! Another thrilling day in the life of a programmer chasing bugs in #LLVM #RISC-V while pretending to be Sherlock Holmes. 🔍 The article takes us on a wild ride through benchmarks and code tweaks, but spoiler alert: we still don't really care. 📉

Tracking down a 25% Regression on LLVM RISC-V

Similar to the previous post, this post covers my analysis of a benchmark on RISC-V targets. Unlike the previous post, I was able to land a patch to eliminate the performance gap to GCC (for this benchmark)!

🤣 Ah, the elusive quest to cancel a #JavaScript promise—like trying to "unsubscribe" from those pesky emails, except sometimes a mysterious force lets you do it. 🤦‍♂️ TC39's valiant crusade for #cancellation ended in a Shakespearean tragedy of "to cancel, or not to cancel." Spoiler: you're still stuck with dangling promises and digital clutter. 📧🔄

You can't cancel a JavaScript promise (except sometimes you can) - Inngest Blog

A promise that never resolves is a surprisingly clean way to interrupt an async function.
