The lights are blinking, so everything must be working!

I can do a LOT more yak shaving on personal projects now. I still haven't managed to finish anything though.

I have had to repeatedly talk myself out of buying various greenhouses and sheds from Costco. They'd be so USEFUL darnit!

Check out this all of this stuff we can build with a room full of PEs and no rules!

They want my college transcript? From the early 00's? I would like to think I've grown a bit professionally since then.

> In the Desktop app, click New task and choose New remote task; choosing New local task instead creates a local Desktop scheduled task, which runs on your machine and is not a routine.

Oh uh... ok then.

Crypto and the Metaverse were solutions in search of a problem. LLMs kind of felt like that until tooling arrived that enabled doing a lot more than copying + pasting chat conversations.

Sure, maybe crypto changed some lives, but an entire industry? I think ALL of software dev is going under a transformation and I think we're past the point of "wait it out" IMO.

Or I'm wrong, but right I'm being paid to develop a new skill professionally. Maybe the skill ends up not being useful - ok, back to writing code the old way then.

Like everything generated by LLMs though, it is built on the shoulders of giants - what will happen to software if no one is creating new programming languages anymore? Does that matter?

This is definitely a "known problem". At my company we call it "promotion-driven development". The promotion guidelines call out that knowing when _not_ to build something is important, but how do you put that in a body of work? "Decided not to build A". Nobody cares.

I've been trying out vibe coding with my 4 year-old, but they quickly lose interest once we start getting into the "weeds" of implementation. Hey kiddo, which CSS library should we use for your web game?

This is neat! What kind of steering or context did you provide to the LLMs? Super basic like "You are playing a card game called Magic: The Gathering", or more complex?

What was the actual intended goal of the malicious code? Or maybe that wasn't the point. I had no idea .vscode/tasks.json was a thing.

Pattern matching and function guards sold me. I'll never look back, you can take patterns out of my COLD DEAD HANDS!

It became distracting after the first two or three spelling errors, agreed.

This is also good advice for personal projects - want to ship stuff? Just do what works, nobody cares!

That's super interesting! Are you saying 99% of retail grocer transactions contained either bananas or milk? Or BOTH?
