I have a script which will go through local git branches on a repo, figure out which ones no longer exist on remote and then give me a command I can run to clean them up. I haven't run it in a while and today I had 58 branches to cleanup 🙃

Every time someone asks if I am using AI for everything, I want to share this image with them.

I found my first real mod request for Valheim: an oven timer. This run is going to take forever if I keep burning food in the oven.

Democrats: oh this candidate doesn’t have a chance and I don’t like how they answered some question about Israel once even though they are a state senator. Anyway, my Spotify wrapped says…

Today I had one of those moments where I just am baffled by people’s infatuation with AI: testing a feature for work I had given a small prompt about a Viking video game. Its results seemed suitable given little info.

AI screening for jobs is such a trap because it means you might have to use AI to figure out how to increase your chances with the AI screens.

So excited for this news. Gonzales was my state senator and she is excellent.

Watching Tenet and Patterson’s line about the grandfather paradox, where they are wrestling with if you go change time, do you undo yourself? Washington asks, why would they do that if it could mean they all die. Patterson explains that they must believe and it only matters that they believe

it’s been pretty funny to see Polis’ addiction to posting completely end any discussion of him as a potential 2028 candidate

FIFA is deeply corrupt [has been for a long time] so it makes sense they would honor the fascist in chief.

Me: going outside to grab something Finn: going out in front of me, this blocking my ability to get where I was going 🤣

Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents. They’ve had their necks kneeled on. They’ve been held outside in the rain while in their underwear. At least three citizens were pregnant when agents detained them.

December indoor FTP test results were… lackluster, but expected. 🤣

Leaders who ask a question and then keep talking: please give people time to respond. Or don't ask questions, I guess?

Every time I try to use agent mode for some mundane, repetitive thing in code… I end up waiting longer for the AI to run than just to do it myself.

Holiday brands: Stainless steel companies: I need you to target this guy with literally thousands of dollars in ads

I was wondering why it felt so cold in my house. My thermostat decided to drop to 62° for the heat 🤣

I spilled a drink. Which led to me moving the couch to clean it up. Which led to me vacuum under the couch. But I had to clean like a metric ton of Finn’s hair from the vacuum so it worked.

I just remembered I have to work tomorrow and … so that’s something

Decided I wanted to char some peppers for some chili and it’s the first cold cold day of the year so working the grill is intense 🥶🌶️

Kinda of mad: decided to watch what I (correctly) assumed was going to be a brainless movie while I cooked and ate dinner. It was a bad movie. By the end I saw it was directed by the guy who directed a movie about a Scottish guy who is a POS. Why do they continue to let him do things?

Crews were called to the fire near 2nd and Cedar streets at about 3 a.m., said St. Louis fire Chief Dennis Jenkerson. He said the buildings were part of the old Crunden-Martin Warehouses.

Went mountain biking today. I hit another struggle month in October/November and stopped riding much. Did some running but that’s not the same. Well, kept it simple and enjoyed despite feeling rusty (out of shape, but that is normal these days!)

Brands: you should buy our stuff! It’s only mostly tariffed!

Sad when there is just enough capsaicin in freaking Anaheim peppers to accidentally make your eyes burn when you forget about it

With ICE and border patrol goons spreading out across the country, I put together a resource guide for buying, printing, and distributing whistles, based on my own experience. Now is the time to whistle up, hope this helps. dansinker.com/posts/202…

Watched MI Final Reckoning tonight and I hope some writers can take home the problem with each story being about the end of the world. Eventually, the end of the world becomes hackneyed. Many great parts, but overall we’re supposed to be moved by all the films we watched, not the one we are watching

I hope every restaurant that Johnson eats at is like “I don’t know anything about that item you ordered” for the rest of his life

In another timeline we could all be so content as this

He can’t spell seditious

It’s 18:30 and I really just wanna sleep

Me: im having a rough day. I shouldn’t play that game that has become more stressful Me: just a couple quick rounds. Me: yeah, I might never play that again. I should have listened to myself

Every six months, I have to explain the same bug to a new team lead who will de-prioritize it so I have to explain it again in six months. This bug is years old.

Whole internet: we can tell when things are written by AI and don't like it. Companies: we have moved all copy review processes to AI instead of hiring a copy writer.

A weird wake up call this morning: I was walking with Finn on the sidewalk and saw a car slowly drifting towards us. But instead of staying on the road the slowly went up on the sidewalk. I was able to see it happening and so was able to get us out of the way. We’re fine

Cloudfront is down. Github is down. The combination Cloudfront/Github is down.

Doing code reviews these days: - Huh, that's a weird way to write that. I haven't seen this person do that before. But it works, so ok. - Hm. That doesn't relate to how we do user IDs, that's weird. - Some other things... oh, this is all vibe coded

The economy must sit in the corner and quietly think about what it has done.

We got to go hiking today. We are both feeling a little old and slow.

I know video games aren’t always about strategic thought, but vaguely concerned about some folks in ARC 😆 I got killed on the exfil and I guess knocked out at the last second but got the train going. So, maybe the person got some XP, but my loot just went into the ether because he couldn’t claim it

I was distracted while getting dinner together and poured a bit of OJ on my food instead of a cup 🤪

Tech lead (who can do code reviews): how long will this take? Me: today if I get code reviews. Hours later: no code reviews

So one thing I've been thinking lately is sort of what I'm calling AI resilience. The idea is basically I think there is a (not great) concept of adding AI to all this software and that relies on a connection to an AI companies API (in most cases).

Oh good lord, Windows 11 is just anti-patterns all over the place.

Dude was told no, so now he is out to get everyone who "hurt" him.

Not blue sky

Returning from an ARC raid like: did I do what I set out to? No. Did I at least get something cool? Not really. Did I at least survive? Yes.

So running has been more of a thing I turn to with my neck/shoulder acting up again. That is, until I roll my ankle less than a mile into a run. Hoping it’s not too angry 😩

I have had this idea for a video game of if I ever got around to making a video game… just saw a trailer the other day that has a very similar concept from an actual indie studio. Sigh. I mean the chances of me making a game and it being something to release is very low

I really don't buy that the house democrats are upset. Sure, some of them are, but many are good with this.
