🧬 I am autistic with ADHD and a bunch of chronic illnesses to cope with, so if I seem “rude” I can’t always help it. (Although, I can be a bit of a Cunt about some stuff.)

I’m UK-based and occasionally go on about UK-specific things without clarifying to the wider audience. Remind me.

Mostly talking about accessibility, cats, chronic illness, guitars, music, web development.

Do you have a Substack newsletter that you wish was NOT a Substack newsletter (for whatever reason)? I’ve just spent about six weeks learning how to overcome all the obstacles they put in the way of leaving and would love to help. Let’s talk.

Not to brag, but today I've mopped the bathroom floor and thrown the bathmats through the washer/drier, *and* made myself a proper meal. All despite waking up late with the cat punching me in the face for her food, and having zero energy because chronic illness and fatigue.

So, I might need a month off now.

Trying to log multiple technical issues on the work system. First, the email I replied to came back as “couldn’t deliver, mailbox full” (great work, support team!). Second, the Support AI started a conversation with me on Teams, but I was met with “We are experiencing some technical issues!!! Please try again after sometime!!!” (6 × exclamations, though
 really?)

I’ll just sit here and wait.

@matthiasott @matuzo “But what would be interesting is whether the results are more useful when you give them more context
”

Garbage in, garbage out.

If you don’t write good context for them and then hone it once you’ve seen how they work with it, you’re destined to be one of those people who go on about how these tools are useless. Think of them like a junior dev who needs educating by their senior and you’re always going to get better results—unless you’re not a very good senior.

Is the BenQ coding monitor any good?

The BenQ coding monitor does come with one major downside, but this monitor surprisingly became my primary monitor on day one.

Currently waiting for a mandatory 2hr session about Agentic AI, enforced by my employer. Regardless of how long I’ve used such tools in my workflow on a personal level, I now have to tick all the company boxes.

I’m referring to this as Performative AI.

Currently open to offers.
