I think about this quote often

@OurHealthNest Is that dog food? 🤮

It tastes better than meat!!!

can somebody anybody tell me what in the fuck the point of a TUI written in JavaScript is

@simonbrown @ulrichfuchs @CallistoBerlin I think the difference now is that we don't have to wait weeks to months for the developers to implement the specs as code, LLMs can work much faster, so we still get the fast feedback loops we were working towards with modern processes

@ulrichfuchs @CallistoBerlin Good specs can lead to long feedback loops though, which is why we spent the first ~20 years of the 21st century looking at how to reduce this through closer collaboration with users, tests, etc to avoid handoffs. How the pendulum swings!

Spec-driven development ... the 1990's called and they want their processes back. As a junior developer in the late 1990's, before writing code, I was asked to: - document my understanding of the feature I'd been asked to build - document the code/DB schemas I was planning to add/modify/remove - document the tests I was planning to run afterwards This would be iterated upon a few times, and finally I was permitted to write code. This post on Reddit amuses me... 😄

@kmcnam1 Even worse is when your Macos hotkey memory kicks in while you're doing something in Windows and you hit Win+C... Which launches Copilot 🤣😭

I get irrationally annoyed at myself when I do this...

@trainofangels00 Without raisins... But with pecans

Canadians, this ends today: - butter tarts with raisins or without?

@ilovetonkatsu @championswimmer I use sonnet nearly 100% of the time. And when I've tried switching to opus I honestly didn't get any better results, sometimes the opposite because it would overthink the problem.

that said, ppl are either underestimating sonnet (havent used it in a while and thought it's sonney <4 level), or just completely ignorant of how powerful a model you need for their tasks I can actually accomplish *most* tasks I give Cursor with Sonnet 4.6 nowadays. it is really good. ppl think they just need to use Opus all the time because they're unaware of capabilities of each model or their prompts are just bad I have sonnet 4.6 do big features. not just simple limited scope stuff. it will do it just fine. I write good extensive prompts and make key architectural decisions myself. (it's how you want to use AI coding that isn't just vibe coding and how you want to build sustainable stuff anyway)

We were being subsidised this much? Wow. Cursor claiming the $200 plan is actually $5000 was actually true it seems.

Lel so when do we start laying off the AI agents and hiring humans again?

@trainofangels00 @Witedsoup Arguably the dirt is more of a patriot. It doesn't leave or complain.

@Witedsoup You're about as patriotic as a lump of dirt.

Canadians have been steering clear of U.S. trips for more than a year now, and a new report shows it’s not slowing down. Visits south dropped 25 per cent last year and another 32 per cent this March compared with before. Instead, Canadians are happily choosing road trips at home—up 2.5 per cent—and fun overseas getaways, which jumped 9 per cent. Because of the trade war and talk of turning us into the 51st state, many of us feel our once-trusted neighbour just isn’t the same safe, friendly place it used to be. Experts now say that relations will never bounce back to what they were. You can bet plenty of Americans are regretting their votes right now, dealing with problems at home while watching a proud nation to the north lose trust in so much of theirs. We as Canadians are proud to keep our dollars supporting Canada and begin a quiet renewal with allies we actually trust and with new allies we are making. We didn't choose this pivot away from a nation we once knew in a different light, but we are absolutely following through with it. 🇨🇦 #cdnpoli #canada

You could have nice things, but that would slightly inconvenience the rich.

@snuffalufagusto @beyond_capital The government doesn't want competition because then they would no longer get kickbacks from the rich people who own the petro companies. It's literally everything to do with rich people.

@beyond_capital The government doesn't want a challenger to the petrodollar and energy production but go ahead and keep thinking it has something to do with "rich people". 🙄🤡

A photographer captured this once-in-a-lifetime shot of a red kite flying with a rose in its talons. Nature can be unexpectedly charming. 📸happyhensnaps

@AMAZlNGNATURE These things look like they have zero survival skills

People need to be aware that this animal actually exists. It’s called a viscacha. They live in South America mainly in the Andes mountains and grasslands of Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, and Peru. There are two types: mountain viscachas (rocky cliffs) and plains viscachas (underground burrows). They’re rodents, closely related to chinchillas, even though they look like a rabbit-squirrel mix.

@VicVijayakumar @trobblet

@trobblet inside me are two guys

I'm now able to tell my agent “we are going to work on JIRA-1234” and it goes and pulls down the task, makes me a plan, I say yeah okay that looks good, and it generates the commit. I run an AI review from a different session, it finds 4 issues of varying priorities, I paste it to my original agent and say validate these findings and fix them if necessary, it creates a fix, I run another review, no more high priority issues found. I open up the code in an IDE to go over it before pushing it up for human review. Looks fine I guess, nothing crazy. I try to understand everything before I push it up for review because if this breaks, it's still my name on it. I say why did you make this one change, it gives me a reasonable explanation for why. It says something codebaity like "if you want I can suggest 2 more ways you could really tighten up this work to prevent some rare but possible regressions". I'm smart enough to not fall for it. Code pushed up, task moved to in-review. I didn't write any of it, this is not my accomplishment. Users won't care who wrote it if it works. A lot done in 20 mins but it felt soulless.

@alphafox Older, I remember the days before CDROM 😭

Are you this old?
