Any conversation

I want to become an excellent marketing person😭😭

The TPMS indicator came back on again today; on the same road, can you believe it? I might have to get it checked at Costco this weekend.

Anyone like James Michener? #booksnotesfollow

good #morningnotesfollow y'all ! #coffeenotesfollow time

I'm doing experiments with short attention-span students and code. Starting with python, and, oddly, now working in BASIC. As a C programmer of 40+ years, I find this aesthetically and pedagogically displeasing, but I am delighted to see them getting fully absorbed in writing 130 PRINT "You have been eaten by a bear!" : GOTO 900. Yes there is spaghetti, but it's their spaghetti and they seem to take delight in debugging it. Python will come later. #educationnotesfollow #programmingnotesfollow

Maybe it'll end up being a case of stated vs revealed preference, but I feel like Apple's really missing the moment with their latest products. People by and large want less tech in their lives right now, not screens and AI stuff everywhere.

"200K lines is not 10 times as much as 20K lines - from the mission perspective it's just irrelevant. And yet it's the easiest thing to measure. And so we look for the keys under the lamp post." ~Kent Beck www.youtube.com/watch?v=F8fBgDCf2Y4&t=2753s

So much present tense in #ainotesfollow generated prose. Terse, authoritative sentences, without breathing room, without hesitation or qualification. It jumps off the page, and not in a good way.

turns out the power of exclamation mark thing in bash is bigger than !$ and !!. i learned a few tricks from refp.se/…/your-shell-and-the-lazy-exclamation-markrefp.seA shell exclamation mark is not for yelling.

#morningnotesfollow! #coffeenotesfollow n #worknotesfollow

my wife is concerned that my job search will not be fruitful due to my use of ai to build and orchestrate my json and latex resume and cover letter build pipeline. it has not changed much since I initially built it almost 20 years ago. there are only so many ways that the core metadata can be assembled for presentation, yes? #resumenotesfollow #aifearnotesfollow #jobsearchnotesfollow

First #coffeenotesfollow of the day <3

I like old cars

I'm so fed up with the series of tabloid articles claiming Koji was a stand-in actor in koitoki. the 'insider' seems to be part of the staff since they had access to details like the location of the wrap-up party. Idc who they are and how true their information is, the intention is obviously malicious. it's just disappointing that a person like that is blending in with the people my oshi works with, viewing him as nothing more than a subject to sell to trash tabloids.

AuDHD is ASS sometimes omg

was feeling a little fancy, bought a bag of gesha coffee beans :))

code quality is about coupling. coupling is not a technical property of the code bytes. code acquires its meaning in contact with the cultural environment, and coupling is about meaning. two constants with no semantic relationship are nonetheless coupled in pragmatics if they refer to the same domain concept. if your goal is to minimise the time integral of future work, you must understand your domain: it decides which lines will need changing. to carve up a codebase is to carve up the world.

sometimes my devices will make noises that seem to go off for no reason. it really stresses me out though, I can't help but always think something is doing it and if it's not me, then what?
