I make computers do things & also jokes & pictures

Professionally, I'm a sort of wandering TDD-and-good-infrastructure ronin. I show up, fight the bandits in your CI, and leave town before anyone can force duty & honor into a conflict that will inevitably destroy me.

Personally, I'm a katamari damacy ball of hobbies but current interests include #StarTrek #Torchbearer #Photography #Knitting #Cooking #Baking #Lifting #Walking #MarvelSnap #Plants #Geology #California #Tea

It also has a hard time with peeled fruit. If you ask it to draw just like, "a peeled orange" it tends to draw an orange cut in half instead.

DALLE cannot draw a cherry without a cherry stem. This is what happened when I asked it to draw the process of removing a stem from a cherry.
