On my way to an interview. The first discussions were positive.

If this works out, I'll be moving to a new phase in my career.

I hadn’t heard of people committing production keys to a repo for a while, but I've seen it happen multiple times recently.

In either case, it’s inexperienced developers who committed LLM-generated code to git.

Not saying that experienced devs are immune to this type of mistake, but the risk would be much lower.

And this is why we should remember to consider LLMs as tools, not complete solutions.

As I mentioned earlier here is the write up of my wife's problems attempting to lease an e-bike as someone who is self-employed in Germany

A Story on How to Lose Your Potential Customer.

Today was gorgeous and so I took the chance to do some plein air.

What went good:
Love my color choices, as I forced myself to use only Titanium White, Ultramarine Blue, Burnt Umber, Yellow Mid, and Lemon Yellow.

What could be better:
Perspective was all off.
My block in was way too dark.
Clouds are still my nemesis.

I've just finished my write up about my wife's attempt to lease an e-bike and how the leasing company lost her business. I'll be posting it soon enough. I'm waiting until she informs the leasing company that she's decided just to purchase the bike without their help. I'd estimate that it will go live sometime at the end of the week.

Six reasons Mastodon won't survive

The hot new thing in social media has some big problems.

It looks like you're formatting your drive in FAT32. Guess who else got FAT after 32.

I'm not sure why, but since the last half of last year, I'm more sensitive to constant loud noises, and very crowded spaces.

Ok I've never liked large crowds, but today it took me a lot of deep breathing today to prevent me from panicking, and that's rather new.

As for loud noise, it tends to be heavy traffic, or trains passing by which forces me to either put fingers in my ears, or put in my ear plugs. I'm usually ok if I have my headphones on.

Can we all agree that April Fool's day is cancelled for the foreseeable future? We already can't trust our eyes and ears.
