Somewhere along the line **someone** has to do the uncomfortable work of understanding what the hell is going on with the code and project (and keeping that understanding current in the face of ongoing changes to the project)

Vibe coding is trading that understanding for short-term gains

Programming is as fun as ever, maybe more

feeling good after setting up a regional read replica for auth and shaving off 77% of auth time

a lot of shipping projects as a tech lead is delegating chunks of work to teammates, reviewing, then orchestrating rollout. my take on claude code is that it lets anyone be tech lead to a team of ai agents

I added LADSPA support to the ER-301. Working on LV2 now, but the jump in complexity with these Turtle files is… ugh.

It's so weird how LLMs know so much about things I don't know anything about, and yet make fundamental and basic errors about things I do know anything about. Oh well, I'm sure that's a coincidence.

YOUR OWN BRAIN WASTES ENERGY! USE OURS!

one of the most prescient things about Cronenberg's The Fly is that it now seems pretty believable that some guy would be like "i'll invent a machine that helps you travel faster!" but instead of working on a bullet train it ends up being a chamber that turns you into a decaying insane insect man

The gummy/sticky button issue on Octatrack MKII, Digitone, etc. is real. Don’t use TPE 🙏🏼

anyone else use a fuckton of bullet points and numbered lists?

there are so many boolean blindness articles, but they're all long-winded. this ai result from google was actually short- and to-the-point-enough that i could share with a teammate www.google.com/search?q=boo...

neotest is cool, but we need a way to support jest, vitest, mocha, etc., simultaneously

ast-grep is amazing

I love that my #Hetzner account is so cheap that they only invoice me every other month.

Sometimes to do a TypeScript refactor you just have to write a ts-morph script…

i've never wanted to read all of my styles in a straight line

sorry but tailwind sucks

I sliced into my finger on a mandolin :-/
