@szewailaw_lis nice! I still haven't done much with AI coding. Every time I've tried it didn't go very well. Do you have any tips for prompting?

It was 5:02 in the PNW The clouds hugged the foothills this evening, and the drizzle wouldn’t stop; I had no complaints, and the mood was incredible. #wawx #pnw #nature

@LawrenceDCodes Thanks, I'll try that recipe this week.

@michaelkprk Hey thanks Michael. I follow Emeril Lagasse's which you can find online - surprisingly simple @michaelkprk

Sorry, but some people do make smoking look very cool.

I don't know what kind of magic this is, but I love it! When you create a new route in TanStack Start, you automatically get a file ready.

@JRaynovic That's really cool.

@michaelkprk You can have them printed. It’s probably the smarter way to go but in this case I have copper blanks and the new cnc router to machine them on.

KiCad and pcb arc is off to a frustrating start but its started.

@JRaynovic Good rule, it's how you keep all your fingers.

One rule I live an die by is absolutely no power tools when drinking no matter how little Ive consumed. Which sucks because I refined this half blind puzzle joint(proper term?) and desperately want to try it.

@aarondfrancis You are what you eat. This is part of why I listen to so much kpop. It's fun and upbeat music. I have enough problems of my own I don't need to deal with Jason Isbell's problems too, y'know?

I stopped listening to really sad music all the time and now I feel less sad. I wonder if any conclusions can be drawn from this

JavaScript top-level await is no longer considered 'baseline' due to a pretty big Safari bug caniuse.com/mdn-javascript… The module graph fails in cases where two modules import a third at the same time. Demo: random-stuff.jakearchibald.com/bug-repros/top… It's best to avoid the feature for now 😔

Signals flip the script. React renders where you create state. Signals render where you use state. Same state, but you are pushed into patterns that will lead to better performance by default. One paradigm shift away from memoization hell. 🎯 jovidecroock.com/blog/state-vs-…

This software engineer was nearly hacked by a coding interview. I've never seen this attack channel before. Be careful out there, especially vibe coders.

The fact that this tweet of mine is now at almost 600k likes is absolutely insane. People are sick of AI. Ever since posting this, I've been bombarded with messages about how happy people are that they can finally filter out the slop. We need to keep fighting.

It takes some kind of balls to even suggest this to the creator of The Wire:

I'm sorry to say it but we need to bring back adbusters. we need to bring back an anti-consumerist, anti-corporate, anti-advertising counterculture. we need to bring back the sentiment that cashing in is selling out, and selling out is shameful. shit is completely out of control

@LawrenceDCodes @tdesseyn also, higher education is about more than job training. But if cost is the major issue then look into repealing the Reagan era policies that made college more expensive.

Hmmmm I don’t know what classified as bit these days but most actual AI engineer senior roles all require Masters and higher computer science degrees and that’s just top of mind. I don’t want anyone designing the next airplane nor even a school bus who hasn’t been through a rigorous engineering program in college. I don’t want anyone designing a skyscraper I’m going to live in who hasn’t finished their architecture program in college. Naw dog, more I think about it I can’t get with you on this one. @tdesseyn . I feel where you’re coming from but there’s just too many use cases that disprove the point .

hot take. if you go to college for anything outside of being a: -doctor -attorney -accountant/finance you’re wasting money
