I can do a LOT more yak shaving on personal projects now. I still haven't managed to finish anything though.

I have had to repeatedly talk myself out of buying various greenhouses and sheds from Costco. They'd be so USEFUL darnit!

They want my college transcript? From the early 00's? I would like to think I've grown a bit professionally since then.

Crypto and the Metaverse were solutions in search of a problem. LLMs kind of felt like that until tooling arrived that enabled doing a lot more than copying + pasting chat conversations. Sure, maybe crypto changed some lives, but an entire

Like everything generated by LLMs though, it is built on the shoulders of giants - what will happen to software if no one is creating new programming languages anymore? Does that matter?

This is definitely a "known problem". At my company we call it "promotion-driven development". The promotion guidelines call out that knowing when _not_ to build something is important, but how do you put that in a body

I've been trying out vibe coding with my 4 year-old, but they quickly lose interest once we start getting into the "weeds" of implementation. Hey kiddo, which CSS library should we use for your web game?

This is neat! What kind of steering or context did you provide to the LLMs? Super basic like "You are playing a card game called Magic: The Gathering", or more complex?

What was the actual intended goal of the malicious code? Or maybe that wasn't the point. I had no idea .vscode/tasks.json was a thing.

Pattern matching and function guards sold me. I'll never look back, you can take patterns out of my COLD DEAD HANDS!

This is also good advice for personal projects - want to ship stuff? Just do what works, nobody cares!

Ah yes - nobody is doing REST correctly. My favorite form of bikeshedding.

Yeah, turns out I should have read TFA: >The short summary of the Sudoku + Poetry post is that unlike Rust or JavaScript, a single Python project cannot use more than one version of a specific Python package.

Ok, now do npm!

But my EC2 instance is public! Ok not "local" per se, but definitely could be part of development work.

Might be nice for local/development environment work. Test HTTPS without needing to set up `my-dev-env.staging.service.com` or whatever.

One of my favorite games of all time. Like others have said, the quotes/videos/etc presented during secret projects or research breakthroughs left quite a mark on my young mind. That and the X-COM: UFO Defense opening cinematic lo

We recently had someone at our house to repair our dishwasher, because we suddenly started hearing a horrible grinding sound when closing the door. Apparently we had bent one of the hinges! How? By overloading the bottom rack too many times
