nobody cares if LLMs produce poor code quality code quality is not a KPI, OKR, SMART goal, CSF, or CPI. it doesn't matter to corpos. when poor code quality reaches criticality, business systems can fail. So let them eat cake.

"maaaaan, they don't make algorithms like they used to"

well this is surprising apparently someone is impersonating me on @discord.com ? my discord username is "janetacarr" ( formerly janetacarr#0930) photo sent by a viewer (note the _ in the impersonator's username). careful out there

each year i become more convinced that professional software development deliberately perverts the enjoyment of programming and it doesn't have to be this way

sometimes you just have to sit and put some hard, capital "C", Coding into it

for the love of god, please stop forking VS code

a programming language that throws pizza parties?

made the case for Dvorak.

Wow this is cool. I just learned this “live” thingy is in beta for certain twitch streamers.

THEY SAID I COULD DO IT SO I DID. I PUT JANET LANG ON THE PLAYDATE GAME CONSOLE.

i hate to admit it but it seems talking to LLMs like corpos works best; doing praise and criticize / feedback sandwich produced best results ie "this is great work. Can you blah blah blah? I love the work so far" Also saying "homie" works well too.

Just when I was about to switch to Forgejo >:)

It's always so remarkable to me how simple a tree traversal algorithm can be in Clojure This is 10 lines of code (sans docstring of course).

if you want LLMs to write more of your "favourite programming language" for you you don't have a favourite programming language. You have a technology tribe.

Whelp so much for going to Conj and TwitchCon 🙃

so Claude 3.7 Sonnet sucks right? Like definitely not as good at coding as 3.5 Sonnet?

🤨

Does anyone want to watch my latest short? please let me be a shill to boost it in the SHORTS ALGORITHM youtube.com/shorts/6LdiO...

I only really get updates on my ex-boyfriend because we still follow each other on github. He's building.

please watch🥺 youtube.com/shorts/jtevG...

you know what I really hate about ruby? Gemfile Ruby Minor & Patch versions are really major versions. What. The. Fuck.

When people say Devin is like a replacement for an intern or junior developer, I can’t help but wonder if they’re sourcing developers from a pre-school

When I started using `git restore ...`, it was over for me. I'm cooked.

2024 was wild. - dated my exes - stayed freelance after all - started twitch & made partner - climbed out of 2023 unemployed debt - made every mistake with my course - still single - tired For 2025 I want to downsize my apartment, and focus on course & twitch.

already sick of being sick 😷

Aweh fuck I’m a content creator aren’t I? 😅

I think it may have been a bit ambitious to think I could travel for the holidays AND stream on twitch😅

Humans don’t have benchmarks like ARC We have intuition and emergence about other humans from social cues and shared evolution. Despite what the benchmarks show, it’s pretty obvious when we’re consuming AI generated content. Human touch will always be necessary.

I can't wait for AI to make all creative work irrelevant, so I can go back to hard labour and roommates 💀

As I’ve said numerous times on stream, literally my favourite novel You heard the man. BUY.

Once, as a youth, I met a man who worked in computing I asked "Do you do programming?" he said "no, I do software engineering" this mf

For me it seems a really subtle sign of burning out is when typical eustress starts becoming distress

programming-in-the-large is a fucking catastrophe.

Building a list of Clojure libs to avoid. So far I've got: - compojure-api - plumatic schema - typed.core - clojure.spec (lol) - figwheel-main What else ? Yes most of these a deprecated, but I still see people using them for some reason.

is it just me or is clojure-lsp and lsp-mode just blatantly broken?

Bluesky is going to be big There’s no stress response to scrolling here

If protecting intellectual property rights is "communism", then we really do live in an Orwellian society.

Underrated thing that AI just can't get right: developer intuition

If you own a domain or have a personal website, the domain should be your bluesky handle.

Human: *evolves over billions of years to find food* AI Marketer bro: AI is just like a human brain! Totally just a next word predictor! Buy my SaaS!

Oh wow it’s been a while since I posted on my blog but Google clearly views my website as an authority on Clojure This photo is from my blog 🥹

wake up babe, new code review just dropped

Man do I ever hate owning a MacBook right now Send help

Oh you’re a staff engineer? Name all the services then.

Oh I broke 500 followers on Bluesky. How exciting, feels like getting in the ground floor of Twitter when it was young.

One of my hottest takes is that refactoring code is 20% of the time useful, and 80% of the time hubris. Devs should seriously consider whether or not you need to re-write that block of code this sprint. 🫣

One shift I've noticed about LLMs: non-devs are much more confident about solving / estimating coding tasks without any context (or even experience) I'm sure this will have no downstream affects on the profession 🙃

I only ever worked at one company where developers felt empowered to give back to an open source library they used at work

This is a great opportunity to point out, again, that a container is just an isolated user space I’m not a lawyer, but Even if this didn’t contain only OSS, Mac users should be able to build and then run this docker file. (Downloading an image might be different though)

The biggest problem facing Clojure is a lot of Clojure developers don't like anything useful I once had someone tell me to use java Executors instead of core.async (as if that'd be simpler?) They eschew anything with a preconceived notion it'll 'add complexity'
