I guess the highest level of intellectual integrity is to create a working product to prove a point.

Seeing the Bill Watterson originals full of pencil lines of stuff that didn’t work, scuffs the eraser didn’t pick up, white out galore and more was something I needed to see to remind myself that nothing is perfect the first go and tweaks need to be made and you’re allowed to try again.

LLM providers now tuning models to draw pelicans on bikes

Claude effortlessly wrote 1.2k lines of Bicep modules. It would've taken me a month. Suddenly the value of some of my expertise has dropped to 0, to the point that I'm wondering if I need to hire in a different way.

I ask about sandbox access in the first meeting with the cloud team, and I still get smirking faces. It's 2025 guys.

This is a cycle that I break literally using my company's AWS accounts, that do have sandbox access. Which is something I can do because we have relatively open, shared IP agreements with clients.

Then a back-and-forth of policy changes that takes months, when policies can be figured out with 30 min of experimentation with a sandbox.

The development team doesn't have a sandbox, so they need wide and general policies, which the cloud security team immediately rejects, because they want to see the strict policies they need. At the same time the cloud team doesn't provide sandbox access.

Devops and mlops have been a thing for almost a decade now, and every implementation I see is full of pitfalls. The most common is what I call the "sandbox deadlock".

I love Barcelona, but I see London Paddington and Barcelona Sants, and it's obvious why the former is percieved as "business friendly" and the latter is dragging its feet.

I've been trying Gemini 2.5 pro, Claude Sonnet 4, and GPT 4.1 and for the moment the winner is, surprisingly, GPT 4.1. I think OpenAI is tuning it for agentic coding; the feedback and the questions back to the user are surprisingly good, same as editor tool use.
