Me, who has been writing tons of PHP lately and asking Claude questions about it: "How to [test thing] using Pest?" Claude: *gives me a spiel, examples, and explanation for...Rust, a language I've asked it about literally 0 times* Go home Claude, you're drunk. 😅

My brain: "Why would you call it Pest if you want people to like it? ... Oh, I get it. It's test with a P, because it's for PHP. Wait. Pest = Test a language that starts with a P. Hang on. ... Jest is..." Fuck I'm stupid for not noticing that before. 😂😂😂

1/3 I'm developing a UI component library for PHP, almost from scratch aside from some usage parameters that inform the architecture (making it work with WordPress blocks in the first instance).

I feel a distinct lack of closure when I ask an LLM about some coding thing, it spits out hallucinations or overly complex partial suggestions, and I go and find the answer elsewhere but there's no forum post to go back to post the answer on.

Reminder to self: When you start typing things like "display: absolute", it's probably time for a break. 😂

My partner, who has never had much need to deal with SQL, is excited because he figured out joins for something he's working on. Me, pointing at the schema: *gives him a pop quiz about why it's designed the way it is and hence joins are necessary, offers further explanation* My god we're nerdy.

For my first Bluesky post, I would like to share the rabbit hole I spent my Saturday night in: Customising (visually) the output of Xdebug. I regret nothing. (PS don't judge me for the errors, I'm hacking around with some experimental stuff and I expected them 😅)
