Thought of the day about #agenticcoding; Using an #LLM is a form of re-use. Patterns that have been tried and tested for decades can be applied to your situation easily. Thatโ€™s the boring stuff. What cannot be reused is the creativity needed to solve your particular problem in your particular context. That has to come from you, and that is the real work. #Coding #Development #AI

An excellent piece on the virtues of sad sandwiches by Misato Okaneya.

"Boterham demands no love or effort, and keeps the day going. I feel there is absolute trust in a boterham, not necessarily because it is excellent, but because it is simple and unpretentious."

#Sandwiches #SadLunch

Why do the Dutch never get tired of everyday sandwiches, the boterham?

At lunchtime on university campus one thing stands out: the boterham (sandwich). Coming from Japanโ€™s elaborate bento culture, I was puzzled that so many students eat the same thin sandwich every day. I kept wondering, "Donโ€™t they ever get tired of it?". This blog is a brief participant observation of that daily ritual.
