Please AI companies. Can you stop giving our service a death hug multiple times a day.

I enjoy programming while waiting at the airport far too much.

I heard you like escape characters so I put some escape characters around your escape characters. Maybe I should have the logger convert win paths to unix-style paths just for the readability.

Me everytime I invalidate my Cabal cache: "Should binary haskell package caches for Cabal be a thing?" Also me 5-10 Minutes later when stockholm syndrome sets in: "Eh recompiling didn't take *that* long."

I'm mentally not ready for so many AI generated happy Easter videos.

Someone needs to write a follow up to wiki.c2.com?Sufficiently... called the SufficientlyIntelligentLLM.

Bug reports in 2027 will be like: I've yelled at my computer. It started to mine bitcoin and deleting my files. How can I convince it to stop deleting the files.

forever $ sequence_ (eat, sleep, write_haskell) Or at least an hour or two: www.twitch.tv/andisdevcorner

I'm streaming haskell stuff ATM: www.twitch.tv/andisdevcorner Not sure for how long yet

Have to get up at 15 minutes earlier for an appointment. Wake up in panic at 4am, 4:30am, 5am, 5:30 am for fear of being too late and having overslept. Just give up and get up at 5:30 am. Day ruined.

I saw an add where someone added their dog into a picture with AI. Somehow all I could think of was someone saying "My dog has always been in this picture." But spoken with 1984 vibes. Will people frame fake pictures at home until and convince themselves those are real memories? I guess so.

Opening htop just to check if I'm getting my 0.7€/day worth.

We are still talking about you.

What if Nero was just a prompt engineer on a bad trip.

The year is 2026. I can buy a toner subscription for my printer. I have to reset my printers power cable before I can print over USB. #Priorities

I found myself debugging a Perl script today. And I realized Perl basically isn't a thing anymore. It used to be inescapable when I started to get into "computers".

Unironically my banking apps changelog.

2026 will be the year of sound just working on Linux. We all just have to believe.

The european Superbowl experience. Go to bed. Wake up. Realize the superbowl was yesterday.

I'm so compiler brained I keep typing llvm when I mean llm.

Watching this python script run for over 5 hours so far, and starting to wonder if I'm going about this all wrong.

Day 4(ish) of Rust: Most of my problems are now of my own design. Turns out the hard part about programming is still the programming.

Getting around the in-agent confirmation was surprisingly easy. Wonder if it would have just deleted the file with a different workspace config or if there are other security checks there.

Haskell should have a Turbofish operator. Not because I think it's good design. Just because I love the name.

Good first impression.

Don't try Monads kids. You might get hooked.

Rust adventures: Day2

Maybe a bigger library ecosystem really just means you have the choice between 5 half-broken C wrappers rather than one.

One day of playing around with Rust and I managed to trigger a stack overrun. Not even using unsafe or anything. I really seem to have a talent for finding those edge conditions.

I did not expect installing rust on windows to be this annoying. I guess if they want to be compatible with VS-C++ they don't have much of a choice but still ...

Committees are reified bystander effect.

It's wild that we spent 40 years learning how to separate data from code down to the CPU level. Just for everyone to agree the thing to do is to splice data and code into one string and dump it into a black box. Because that's the only way I can describe how most LLM designs work today.

I imagine this is how Russian news reported about Crimea in 2013. www.reuters.com/world/europe...

Resisting the urge to send (Message Deleted) into some chats.

I completely stopped using my e-reader at some point. Even looking back I don't know when exactly that change happened. I think I also haven't seen one in public in ages. I'm sure there are still users but now I wonder if it was a fad or if I'm just turning into a Luddite.

Another year and another blog post: andreaspk.github.io/posts/2026-0... I (kinda) benchmarked two ways to give variables a new name if you clone them.

Wonder if learning about international law at Uni comes with a big disclaimer these days.

Reading a book that is almost great but repeatedly falls flat is so much more frustrating than reading a book that's just bad throughout.

The State of #Haskell 2025 survey is out! Please take ~10 minutes to fill this out and share it with friends/colleagues/coworkers, whether or not they are users of Haskell.

I think on average I spawn about 1.5 GHC tickets every time I use Haskell for non GHC related tasks.

Tried looking up some historic data from 2008 Found bots talking to each other last month in the comment section of a 17 year old article. Really nothing online is real anymore 🥲

This is not a drill: GHC (the #Haskell compiler) now runs in your browser. See the announcement (and please report any bugs) here: discourse.haskell.org/t/ghc-now-ru...

The debugger taunting me when I'm hungry.

Finally I learned what upgrading python projects is like.

Programmers are usually fed a steady diet of features and bug fixes. But occasionally they get to work on performance problems. This development methodology is known as intermittent fasting.

Today I came across one of my comments on someones blog from 14 years ago. It was peak denglisch.

And a few hours later ...

Some musings about unknown function calls and arity tracking in GHC: andreaspk.github.io/posts/2025-0... Also: Five years between blog posts! Time flies when Covid happens.

Who doesn't love consistency?
