If I took a screenshot right now and showed my non-technical PM I think I'd get a raise it's really slick UI work. But If I pushed this slop straight as a PR my tech lead would (rightfully!) be so mad lol

TFW you asked LLM for a UI change and it looks way better than you expected but codex is still cooking & refactoring / editing and u don't know whether to let it cook and clean up or stop while you're ahead

Vibe deploying: what if you could vibe-code, but also put money in Jeff Bezos's wallet?

And so I had discovered the virtual private cloud disaster a few days ago but gave up on it (trying to just basically completely clear out my personal aws which is a DISASTER with vibe-deployed/me-trying-to-learn crap) but now I found the issue. I am not smart.

A few weeks ago a guy at a meet up wanted me to 'show him AWS' and so I spun up a ec2 and connected to it to demonstrate...that that's what an ec2 is and I felt so clever and smart...but then I forgot and it was in a virtual private cloud? which then let me not delete the virtual private cloud?

I loved it as a kid for a couple years, and I worry that my perceived 'boredom' is just relative and it's my rotted attention span that's changed. But idk, maybe it's just objectively boring. I mean 3 hours, all the breaks, the fact that even when something happens the ball is really small...

Went to a minor league baseball game with some chinese students from my grad program, we got there second or third inning. Watched for inning and a half or so. Then my friend taps me on the shoulder: "when will they stop warming up?"

Pitch clock: fantastic.
Abolish intentional walk?: would be amazing

Give it another 30-50 small tweaks, I think baseball might start approaching something I could watch without falling asleep

AT friends #2: @snarfed.org of Bridgy Fed (@ap.brid.gy) - Latent Homer - the blog informal chats with people building excellent stuff on (or in this case around) AT Proto

Because of Bridgy Fed this post (from Threads) will journey from Meta's servers -> the Fediverse (since I have Fediverse sharing turned on) -> the ATmosphere.

Pretty cool!

Max Verstappen had the most mentions, people like him

Colors repeat in the chart, which is confusing. Colors also are different than my earlier screenshots, it depends on total count of who had the most mentions and that changed over time

Had claude code spin up a jetstream listener for #F1 Mexico GP this afternoon

- 3,019,028 messages captured from 13:05 -> 14:57 pst

- 3,721 had an 'f1'-related term (1 per 1K approx.), of those if a driver was mentioned saved & binned those per 1 minute & caught some discrete Things-That-Happened

The colors in the graph are NOT locked to the drivers, which is confusing if you're looking at multiple screenshots in a row. I think it's tied to their total number of mentions. Hazards of vibe coding.
