Someone asked earlier if I have a favorite photo in my collection. I'm not certain but I think it might be this one. The light, her face, the way she's supporting the kitten so lovingly. It's definitely a candidate for the cover of the book I fantasize about creating someday.

Reading analysis of the Claude Code leak (not reading the code itself, of course) is evidence towards what I had kind of suspected, that the whole thing is a giant magic trick not only in the straightforward LLMentalist way, but also in the sleight of hand way off making you think that this pile of regexes and JSON schema validation loops is *actually* the LLM doing LLM things.

Like, you don't need LLMs, the things that work, work well, and that have worked well for decades are all there, being called by the chatbots... you can just actually use those without 500k lines of spaghetti code and markdown files tricking you into thinking that the JSON parser is alive and has feelings.

2016: every line of code is immediately tech debt, the most important design paradigm is simplicity, I maintain a curated personal blog about minimalism

2026: haha I just have my stochastic labubu generate tons of code all the time, I don't even look at it. More is more. I regularly have nervous breakdowns about what it all means on all social media platforms

🕹️ #NaData de hoje, mas em 2003, o hacker Habibi-Xbox revelou ser possível instalar Linux em um Xbox sem modificações, explorando um bug num jogo da franquia 007, depois encontrado em mais jogos e usado para instalar também outros softwares previamente desautorizados pela Microsoft.

Pro-tip for web developers thinking about implementing a feature: don't. In most cases, just let the browser handle whatever the fuck you intend to re-implement badly with more bugs and less accessible.

This post brought to you by GitHub adding an additional new and fun way they broke the back button navigation.
