My pre-breakfast project: adding FreeBSD and OpenBSD to JRuby's CI. FreeBSD largely works, but some specs fail that maybe never worked on FreeBSD to begin with. The OpenBSD image I'm using doesn't have JDK 21 in ports. It's a start... feel free to assist!

Still deep in Japan withdrawal, now back in the US. It's a real shock to the system coming home to the American suburbs after seeing the beauty and efficiency of Japanese daily life. I'll just try to incorporate as much of what I learned into my routine.
I've posted about this before, but if you're frustrated with tools like Intuit's Mint going away, the absolute best option for personal budget tracking is Monarch. Looks like they've recently added a "Plus" version that also tracks business expenses. My referral code is below if you are interested.
@arnaud Definitely do. They're excellent.
Managed to get back to Kikanbo for my double-oni ramen of the trip (demon level spice, demon level szechuan). Evil stuff. Earned my special Oni candy as a result. Definitely one of my top five restaurants in the world.
@brandonscript @timbray I'd like to see how your workflow is structured.
@jmeowmeow You're a few steps behind what I'm seeing. I can't even have conversations about how to build a system or implement an idea with some people if they aren't asking Claude what to do. They gave up the small decisions, then the medium ones, and now they can't even think about problems without an LLM prompting *them*. It's like a prion disease carving away bits of their brains until nothing is left.
@brandonscript @timbray I'd like to see a setup where I still do the work of coding and the AI is solely a pairing partner. Delegating the entire process to an LLM including the actual construction removes all of my agency from the process, and delegating small decisions to LLM eventually leads to delegating all of them. If you don't exercise your critical thinking abilities you will lose them. Too many developers are choosing that path.
@dpp Those decisions about system architecture are exactly what I see people delegating now. Once you give up decisions about how to build the small pieces, the large pieces come next. The sickly sweet taste of not having to make a decision yourself infects the entire thought process.
Perhaps you will be able to avoid that slow decay by only letting LLMs focus on the small pieces while you decide how they should fit together. That's not the trend I'm seeing.
@rose If time and age takes away capabilities and AI helps bring them back, I'm all for it. But choosing to use AI when you are capable of doing it yourself is basically opting into dementia. Why read anymore, let AI summarize it? Why produce thoughtful messages for friends, let AI speak for you? Why do any creative activity at all...they're too hard, just let AI create for you?
