Hayley Williams Welcome to Hayley's corner of the internet. Go ahead and click around. Lose yourself a little.

scanned through hayleywilliams.net β€˜s CSS (thx for the tip @kennygoff.com) and it uses my inset box shadow trick for the borders on 98.css, but the individual colors are wrong

could’ve been LLM generated, since my CSS uses variables for the actual hex colors (and an LLM wouldn’t β€œcompile” those)

I guess it's an unfair comparison, I'm trying really hard to use a ruby web framework from like... 2010. I doubt any of my old webpack 1.0 projects still build.

Picking up Ruby again for the first time in 10(?) years. Obviously need a shiny 2011-esque mac native text editor to go along with it.

A screenshot of a code editor with a dark purple theme split into two panes. The left pane shows Ruby code from a Ruby Koans exercise. It defines two classes: CannotBeTreatedAsString and CanBeTreatedAsString, with methods to_s and to_str, and test methods to check how these objects behave when string representations are required. The right pane displays ASCII art in the shape of a circle with a quote in the center: β€œMountains are again merely mountains,” along with β€œRuby Koans (in Ruby 3.0.0)” and credits to β€œNeo Software Artisans.”

Claude Code in 2027: I see the problem! The last LLC I created committed tax fraud. Let's create another one and add the appropriate checks to make sure this doesn't happen again.
