Weekend morning maple latte 🙂

A golden rule for working with LLMs doing code gen. Don't trust. Verify. Use that extra time you've saved to write some unit tests 😂

Claude Code has been an absolute force multiplier when working on my side project. I no longer feel burn out, and I get more done. Just need to remember that force multiplication applies to negative values too 😅

I tried to swipe "holy" on my keyboard and it autofilled "guilty" and that is just so on the nose for someone raised Catholic.

Latercase emailing me about purchasing an iPhone case a month after I bought the exact one they're trying to hawk is... Ballsy.

Oh yeah material is making me crash out today what in the absolute hell

If I crash out today it's gonna be because of Material Design's AnimatedPane

Using an AI agent to help write and modify code reminds me of the "time to write vs time saved" xkcd. I'm working through a fairly large prompt to refactor out an old DSL I wrote to swap it with compose, and I'm fairly confident I can get it working within a few hours or so. What xkcd.com/1205/

It's been a long time coming but I'm super proud of us for getting this out the door!

If you're a senior+ developer and your GitHub looks like this.... I assume you have some mixture of positive work life balance, a spouse and children, and hobbies outside of coding. What I don't assume is anything about your ability to write great software.

Morning Latte. I think I have the beans almost dialed in and the oat milk is frothing well enough. #coffee #espresso

Coffee this morning :-) Maple Oat Latte

The senior developer you admire was once a beginner who Googled how to add a click listener and then copied the answer from StackOverflow. They’re not smarter than you, just further ahead.

I will say, the initial tests it wrote did require some finessing to get working properly. I do not think AI like this is a replacement for senior devs, and I still think companies trying to replace junior devs with LLMs are short sighted. I manually review and massage every change Claude Code

I started using Claude Code on Friday, and have a couple insights after a day of using it. The initialization process over a code repository is very cool, and it's ability to conform to your codebases style is awesome. It also seems like it will pick up on library usage like avoiding spys in mockk

The official Android docs on test doubles are quite needed today. Please write fakes 🙏 , avoid mocks as possible. Assert output state, not behavior. Think of a program or a logical part of it as: input->output https://developer.android.com/training/testing/fundamentals/test-doubles

Why the heck does deactivating your Twitter account turn off 2FA

No amount of training, natural resources, and energy consumption will give 'AI' empathy.

Rolled credits on Expedition 33. GOTY so far. A lot to think about with this one.

This is a great ad campaign *against* agenic AI.

This straight up gives me the ick.

"Rich Errors in Kotlin” – the KotlinConf’25 talk by Michail Zarečenskij is now live on our YouTube channel! 🎉📺 Discover how Kotlin’s nullability model can be generalized to restricted union types for better error handling. 👉 Watch the full video: kotl.in/richerrors

'Meredith,' some guys ask, 'why won't you shove AI into Signal?' Because we love privacy, and we love you, and this shit is predictable and unacceptable. Use Signal ❤️

...he says to Signal's president

Use Signal. We promise, no AI clutter, and no surveillance ads, whatever the rest of the industry does. <3

Bluesky really needs to figure out it's auth because having to reauth like every other day is mad annoying.

Please remember, don't take photos of people's faces at protests. At the very bare minimum, blur or black them out. And if you're communicating with each other, please do so on a secure and private e2ee app. Not text, not telegram, not iMessage, and ideally not Whatsapp (due to metadata).

@steelseries.com I don't want moments I just wanted my 3D audio and EQ 🫠 this is too much extra crap I don't want.

If the only place I could find your business hours is your Facebook page then I won't be using your business. :-/ They won't even open on mobile anymore.

These no child left behind school policies do the exact opposite.

Fucking THANK YOU. Like, for real, I need a lot of you to dispense with the fantasies of objective, impartial tech. You are watching the intended purpose of this shit on display as we speak as Grok is hammered into compliance behind the scenes.

My level of exhaustion after explaining to a 4yo six times that no, they can't pressure wash their bike *in the garage* and it's pouring rain outside.

I wish more single player games would limit themselves to around 25 to 35 hours. Focus on quality over quantity.

I *will say* I feel like the advantage of 2D fighting games over 3D is that if you already play one at a high level you'll adapt to a new one fairly quick. The differences tend to just be in the system mechanics.

The money for my tax balance owing for 2024 is stuck in my 2025 installment account, the cra website transfer form doesn't work, and the cra phone line won't answer calls or queue me. Excellent.

@harada-tekken.bsky.social Not every character needs to be approachable by new players. Not every character needs every tool. Weaknesses and technical difficulties are as character defining as strengths. (I.e. if she's coming, please dont let the team ruin Julia with stance, dumbed down inputs, etc)

If you're going to a protest please don't sign your name on anything and don't post photos of faces.

A lot of gamer Americans are about to learn what it feels like to be a gamer Canadian 🙃

I think the Saudi ownership of SNK is leading to all these really dumb decisions in character additions to CotW. The game still looks great, and likely I won't end up seeing these characters in game because it sounds like no one will play them. Not much market for a self admitted r*pist and a DJ.

City of the Wolves is actually pretty sick. Combo system is very fun once you get a feel for it. #CotW

It's really crucial to understand how badly framed this is. There is no Signal vulnerability. The Pentagon email did a bad job explaining a Google report from a month ago and NPR repeated it. This is like saying because you got a phishing email at your Gmail address, there's a Google vulnerability.

You should use Signal. Seriously. There are other encrypted messaging apps out there, but I don’t have as much faith in their longevity. In particular I have major concerns about the sustainability of for-profit apps like WhatsApp in our new “AI” world.

lotta free press for Signal today tho, that's good

I dunno how LM, BAE, et al. Don't sue this admin into the ground.

@meredithmeredith.bsky.social, Présidente de @signal.org sur X/Twitter : « Il est impératif, en cette période particulièrement critique, de rejeter les portes dérobées et l'érosion des infrastructures numériques essentielles sur lesquelles reposent la sécurité et la souveraineté. »

Discussing @signal.org at @sxsw.com: @guykawasaki.bsky.social: So what happens, Meredith, if various governments call you up and say, "You've gotta put a back door"? @meredithmeredith.bsky.social: If various governments call me up and say, "You gotta put a back door", I say "No."

Well with Carney axing the tax what is PP going to complain about now?
