Some more playing around with #GameOfLife in #rust - This time, I explored an infinite world, so I also implemented zooming (mous-wheel) and scrolling (keyboard) in the UI. No unit tests, no refactoring, just exploation. codeberg.org/dtanzer/game...

If you'd told me 5 years ago that a fork of VS Code that loses money every time someone uses it could be worth ~$30B, I would have forked VS Code.... Maybe added a Stack Overflow search box or something.

Pair / Ensemble programming is knowledge transfer, and that's even more important than the continuous code review: videos.devteams.at/w/2BKu8TDU9f... Or watch on YouTube, if you prefer that platform: youtu.be/ySRkHi-xw_Q #bonsai #software #softwareDevelopment

"It's better to have a working program than to try to hyperoptimize code on your first pass." Love the #Rust book!

I'm pretty happy with the how the content of my new video about #PairProgramming and #KnowledgeTransfer turned out, end even the filming and editing is - while not great - OK for me. Which is a bad omen: The more I'm happy with a video, the worse it performs 🤣 youtu.be/ySRkHi-xw_Q

Played with local #LLMs a bit - Did not work well (yet?), but at least now I now how the cooling fans of my computer sound like.

🤬 😰 Was mich nervt und was mir Sorgen macht... Am Montag habe ich gefragt, was euch aktuell in der Softwareentwicklung nervt und was euch Sorgen macht. Ich habe mehr Antworten bekommen als erwartet, auf mehrere Plattformen verteilt. Auf Mastodon hat jemand... [1/8]

I now have a GUI for my #rust #GameOfLife Will optimize the code a bit and try to test _some_ of the UI code with unit tests. Then I might record a video, since I did not yet find one on youtube where someone implements it in Rust using #TDD (if you know such a video, please forward it to me).

Die Sozialen Netzwerke verkommen endgültig zu KI-getriebenen Content-Schleudern. #Journalismus

Since yesterday, I'm running #DaVinciResolve in distrobox because it does not work yet on @[email protected] 43. It works find, but when I switch #Gnome virtual desktops and back, the window is not there anymore - It just disappears, but the process in the distrobox is stll running.

I played around with multi-agent #AI some more: This time I made three claude code processes work together on refactoring some existing code: PeerTube: videos.devteams.at/w/xjJCmmzdJV... YouTube: youtu.be/v8hmvWpbirw

I think two of my japanese maple cuttings are starting to grow! 😁 #bonsai

All right, I have just made two claude code instances ping-pong pair-program together, and I have a video recording of it. It was impressive, disappointing and "meh" at the same time. Maybe for release on peertube/youtube next week.

Anyone claiming AI-generated code doesn't need to be easy for humans to understand is signalling that, not only are they an inexperienced programmer, but they're inexperienced using LLMs to generate code, too. How long can you go before you hit a problem that needs you to spot it and/or fix it?

Was nervt dich gerade an der Arbeit in der Softwareentwicklung am meisten? Was macht dir am meisten Sorgen? In Gesprächen mit anderen, die in der Softwareentwicklung arbeiten (Devs, Testers, Scrum Masters, etc.) bekomme ich immer wieder das Gefühl, viele sind unzufrieden mit der aktuellen... [1/3]

Finally I can run #DaVinciResolve again - Now in a @[email protected] 42 distrobox. That may be the better solution anyway. This week, I have two videos that I could release if I manage to finish them: One more where I play around with #AI and one where I talk about #PairProgramming

Another implementation of game-of-life, this time in #Java and I tried to use some #functional constraints: codeberg.org/dtanzer/game... Didn't clean up the test file, that was not what I wanted to practice this time. Also, forgot to commit after each... [1/2]

Hello Nürnberg! Getting ready for the #CodeRetreat tomorrow... #gdcr

Here's my first try of #GameOfLife in #rust codeberg.org/dtanzer/game... Fixed-size board (for now), tests are there. Sometimes I wrote tow or three tests before proceeding, because I don't know how to write parameterized tests.

#rust ggez app i'm writing crashes when I'm on my laptop, but works when I use it with the docking station (which I don't have with me on the train to Nürnberg). Some unresolved wgpu bug: github.com/gfx-rs/wgpu/... Time to work on something else, I guess... #learningRust #programming

Am anderen Ende der Skala sagt man den Leuten ja immer, eine Gehaltserhöhung sei kein geeignetes Instrument zur Motivation, da der Effekt schnell verfliegt.

All right, I just accidentally had three claude-code instances chatting with each other about totally stupid, off-topic stuff and... Is this really the world we want to live in?!? I mean, at least, it was fun... #AI #ToastersTalking

Labour: "We couldn't possibly begin negotiating with the EU to eventually rejoin. That would make the next GE all about Brexit." Reality: "Yes, and so what? At the moment everything is about immigration, and you are LOSING very VERY badly indeed."

Volltreffer.

3. Aus jedem Angriff in den Angriff gehen. Er wird als Islamist diffamiert - Video auf arabisch und demonstrativ zu muslimischen New Yorkern stehen. Als Kommunist diffamiert - erklären was demokratischer Sozialismus ist und warum er da dazu gehört. Nicht von sich selbst distanzieren.

Made a first attempt of #tdd in #rust - Feel free to roast my code, happy to hear feedback! It's just the "prime factors" - kata, though: codeberg.org/dtanzer/rust... Also, should I use an assertion library? Found some, and "assert_eq!" seems not very powerful...

Oh, great. Updated to #Fedora43, and now davinci resolve hangs when loading a project, and davinci-helper does not start anymore 🙁

Inspired by a talk from @lexler.bsky.social , I wanted to have two AI agents who work together to count to ten too. But, since I'm not on a mac, I could not use AppleScript to achieve that. Here's a video: PeerTube: videos.devteams.at/w/8G9CtGM4Zf... YT: youtu.be/1s-IA2VRgBY

Oh sh**, I think I soon need another SSD. DaVinci Resolve and its proxy handling needs a lot of pace and causes a lot of data transfer, and a dedicated disk for that would be great. I have three free slots in my tower, but I didn't want to upgrade so soon 😄

No new video this week, we currently have school holidays here, which was busier than I thought. If you have not seen it yet, here's a video where i #refactor the necklace #kata to use the chain-of-responsibility #pattern youtu.be/005dBJnbMSY

I implemented Game of Life with constraints enforcing old-style OO: - no ifs in own code - no return types (except in trivial cases) Was not easy, walked into some dead ends, but here's some code: codeberg.org/dtanzer/game... What do you think?

In the movie, the US Tech entrepreneur is the good guy, wants to save the world, and is willing to sacrifice himself for other people.♥️👍🏿 But this ain't a movie. This is real life. In real life the US Tech dude posts great replacement nonsense and other hate, and takes food away from starving kids.

Times I implemented map/reduce correctly just by writing and running unit tests, without debugging: ... ... Still zero 😡 🤣

Zwar die kleinste Änderung auf der gedruckten Titelseite, aber ab morgen sind wir quasi BlueSky-Zeitung und tragen den größten und relevantesten Standard-Communities Rechnung - abseits des Standard-Forums selbst.

I created a video where I am refactoring the "necklace kata" by @emilybache.com - trying to use only IDE tools and safe code changes. PeerTube: videos.devteams.at/w/bCZdQYwQy4... Or watch on YouTube: youtu.be/005dBJnbMSY

We went from "a computer is a bicycle for the mind" to "a computer is a ball & chain for the mind for too many people" in 3.5 decades.

For the record, I have zero Nazi tattoos.

Here's a "quick and dirty"(*) video about why I still often don't use #AI for things where other people use them nowadays... PeerTube: videos.devteams.at/w/iqDz7Eg8Hz... ...or watch on YouTube: youtu.be/C-tOXs5Pt6A (*) =relatively low recording effort

I vaguely remember this interview as well. It happens all the time. Daniel Radcliffe is admitting he has racist friends. The quote is "I don't think friendship should be drawn along those lines". And it allows us to ask a very simple and direct question. Why not?

“In 2016, Tesla proudly announced that all its vehicles produced onward are equipped with ‘all the hardware for full self-driving,’ which would be delivered through future software updates. “.. The automaker turned out to be significantly wrong about that.” @electrek.co electrek.co/2025/10/20/t...

Natürlich ist es problemlos möglich, Themen wie Kriminalität, Bildungssystem-Defizite oder Integrationsprobleme anzusprechen, ohne dabei ein Rassist zu sein. Die Behauptung, irgendjemand möchte diese Themen ausklammern, ist Unsinn. Wir wollen sie nur nicht in Form von Remigrations-Hetze diskutieren.

Dam been writing a book about this and she just TikToked it in 90 seconds.

“Today, Dr. Frankenstein's descendants keep promising that Al won't destroy civilization while ignoring Shelley's point, that the inventor is more dangerous than his monster.”

Fascinating how learning #programming #languages becomes easier the more languages one already knows. Just read a chapter about enums and matching in #rust, and constantly compared it to other languages ("oh, that's a little bit like exhaustive switch in Typescript, but not quite"), which... [1/2]
