The turtle. It can't handle the weight of the dog. Watch as it is literally scraping its shell across the ground instead of being able to walk properly.

Have you heard that GPT-5 is out? I'm sure nobody's talking about it in your feeds and it's not being covered in the media.

So I'm just doing a community service and letting you all know it's out.

On this week's #javascript is a mess episode:

This glorious #npm package

www.npmjs.com/package/user

Wanna guess what it does?

module.exports = function() {
return 'soon...';
};

That's it. That's the whole thing

Hasn't changed in 12 years

97k downloads last week.

This is peak #webdev πŸ’

Kevin Hoffman's Blog - Are we vibe yet? A measured experiment with AI-assisted development

So I forced myself to use #AI assisted coding for a week as an experiment.

This is a struggle all creators of all kinds are feeling these days. When people use AI to write content and the consumers of that content use AI to summarize it... does quality, thought, clarity, insight even matter?

I've heard/seen the "yam tits" one before. One of the other colorful ones that I enjoy is "orange shitkankle"

Well, I figured out what all of the songs had in common - they're all from video game soundtracks.

This is a genre I absolutely never listen to (except for the once-or-twice-a-year use of the Myst soundtrack for ambience)

Logged into #Spotify this morning. My "daily mix 1"--a mix I basically rely on for all my music--was no longer recommending anything I like and was full of junk from a genre I've never even heard of.

I wonder if they switched to AI recommendations over the weekend πŸ€”

Yep. Even after I invested the time and effort into learning nix in anger, it still feels like black magic.

Will have to check that out. It looks like a blend of nix shell and asdf.

Pretty sure this is how the disaster plot of "The Swarm" (book and TV series) starts.

For those of you in the #heatwave areas, remember that pet paws are -more- sensitive to heat than our feet. If you can't stand on something with bare feet, your pets can't either.

I've been hosing down my deck every couple of hours to keep from burning doggo and people-o paws alike.

I just thought it was interesting because I'd never run across the phrase "dodgy import" in any of the non-AI google searches I've done in the past.

The AI assistant I was using just refactored an issue with a module import... It said the following:

"...addressing the issue with the previous dodgy import. The file has been updated successfully."

Since when does an AI refer to things as "dodgy import"s ??

I don't know if there's anything left in my career worth accomplishing.

Achievement unlocked: Today I needed some functionality in #Haskell and I wrote a Monad and an accompanying monadic "lift" function to compose two monads to get lots of rich functionality in a single function.

It's basically all downhill from here.

I did try AI first, but it was completely wrong.
