How should we program differently to be better suited to Agentic Coding AI? It makes sense to make programming overall more strict given the advent of AI as AIs benefit so much from good feedback.

Read my latest post about AI coding craftingteams.substack.com/p/how-should...

The epiphany moment of AI-assisted coding The moment of insight. It's time to look beyond auto-complete.

A new post about the sea change from auto-complete to agent-assist programming, a lot of my friends are still primarily using AI for auto complete. (this is not to say the agent flow works well enough in every programming language)

Programming language matters much more for AI-driven development How programming language choice impacts the productivity of your AI-powered teams and what you can do about it

Wrote a bit about my experiences across many different teams and AI, TLDR think about doing more python (I'm sorry FP friends). craftingteams.substack.com/p/programmin...

I wonder if the AIs know it’s April 1st 👀

It’s kind of a fever dream but the production values and songs are top notch

Pantheon has a new season?

The thing that bugs me about panspermia is why then, if life had however much time elsewhere to grow, was it so simple for so long here.

I returned it, got a new copy and … it’s all banged up wtf

Only a select few people are lucky enough to have an arch nemesis to drive them forward

In case there was any question Vermont curry is a product of Japan

Remember back when skype as new and exciting? I sure do.

Which one is scarier

I was reading a book and I’m not sure where I put it. Now I’m surfing the muck while waiting for my son in his hip hop dance class.

Have you ever tried to get a video of yourself or your kid out of a private group on Facebook? It should be illegal to make it this hard.

Wow le chat is amazing

It’s been a long time since I made it past the first chapter of a fiction book, but I cleared anti-memetic foundation in 3 days.

On the back of that I tried some other fiction books I have sitting around…nope

My 4yo son made it down the mountain via the green slope today for the first time, by the end of the day he was racing his 6yo sister, I’m so proud.

also this is only scrum in the loosest possible terms

I'm pro having some kind of process more than I am anti-scrum, and I had other people keen on scrum so whatever

Currently trying to implement a proper planning / scrum process and feeling like the most underemployed project manager of all time

LinkedIn post: On January 24th I formally resigned from my position with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). I started at CDC in 2010, and I have spent 20 years in public service, including my 15 years in service at the federal level. Here is a little bit of what I wrote in my resignation, because I'm not sure that anyone is actually going to read it. "I feel honored to be among the public health professionals that have had the privilege to work at CDC. As I reflect on my own experiences and accomplishments during my time here, I am humbled by the magnitude and the importance of our work. To my colleagues: we have worked together through chaos and uncertainty, transition, reorganization, preparation, and response. You are the most selfless, dedicated, and passionate people I know. I have watched you work around the clock, take additional details, deployments, and responsibilities, try to balance work and family, forego self-care, and keep pushing and work together to protect the public’s health. I’ve seen your sacrifice. I want you to know that your support and guidance has been invaluable, and I am proud of the work we have accomplished together." While I was backing up files I found my oath that I signed in 2010. I believe in our work, and I am sad to be leaving federal service. But I have immense gratitude for all of the opportunities that I've had and the connections that I've made. I will continue to protect the public's health in a different capacity (stay tuned...) but for now, thank you for trusting me.

The policy lead for CDC's H5N1 response has abruptly resigned.

Sources tell me CDC's response to the bird flu pandemic has been severely hobbled by the chaos of the past two weeks.

Today my daughter is taking her first class to read music. I can hear her in the other room making happy sounds.

You notice the rot of things more as you get older, the feeling of the floorboards through the old flooring, the dirt and mold where surfaces connect. The old caulk long peeled away. When I was young I didn’t see it at all, it was like everything was pristine.

That moment in time when kids get over the language learning hump and start devouring books is awesome.

It definitely is that, with some seriousness, I can’t really explain it

Solo leveling is my current favorite anime. Unsure why or even if I’d recommend the show to most people, but I’m always excited to watch.
