The Gap Through Which We Praise the Machine My current theory of agentic programming: people are amazing at adapting the tools they're given and totally underestimate the extent to which they do it, and the amount of skill we build doing that i...

Why do some have a shit time with LLMs for programming while others love it?

To succeed, the latter group tacitly creates tons of scaffolding and gain weird new skills. While it works, this posts explains how doing all that is an incidental consequence of bad interaction design in coding AI agents.

I tried. I really tried. I was able to get up to about 30 WPM with Colemak-DH, but fighting years of QWERTY muscle memory is incredibly difficult and very frustrating. My productivity also really plummeted.

I've gone back to QWERTY for now. Maybe I'll try again another time.

My typical QWERTY speed is about 100-105 wpm. So hopefully I can get back to that speed before long.

@skeetsapp.com I'm a little curious about the difference in the trending feeds between the official Bluesky app and the Skeets app. It seems the feeds for trending topics in the Bluesky app have more recent/relevant skeets. Are you aware of this?

AI versus the brain and the race for general intelligence We already have an example of general intelligence, and it doesn’t look like AI.

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too.

EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them.

I fully expect that some of the same people who were against banning TikTok will be supportive of a DeepSeek ban.

Reasoning models are just a chain of LLMs. You're buying into the marketing.

This batch of #RhythmAndFlow episodes got me more and more angry as they went. How did they let Tia P go and keep Detroit Diamond??? (Not to mention picking her over Dono to begin with.)

They really sent me over the edge with the pick for the winner. HOW??? There was ONE obvious choice! Jay Taj!

Finally tried Ambients key switches from lowprokb on my ZSA Voyager! I went with the Nocturnal variant. Unbelievable how silent they are.

Trying to decide whether I like them enough to to keep them on my keyboard. I've always preferred tactile switches but the Sunrise variant isn't available yet.

Woke up with the right side of my face paralyzed. Thought I was having a stroke! Apparently this is a thing that happens sometimes (Bell's palsy) and they don't know the cause for me. So I'll likely have facial paralysis for 2 weeks to a few months, and potentially even longer.

Cool cool cool. 🀨

It appears so. From the docs:

"most application requests can be sent to either the Entryway or the PDS"

I haven't used it, personally, but my understanding is that the PDS implements OAuth.

Couple more resources:
