Same. I've been in the venire twice and never survived "what's the highest level of education you've attained?" 😥

I can't decide if Alanis Morissette or Morgan Freeman is the canonical representation of god in film, so this tracks.

It's required in a lot of places, though. A former employer had a policy that all encryption be performed with FIPS 140-2 validated modules. I told the security engineer that was impossible given the requirements the business gave us and he just shrugged and said "yeah, nobody actually does that" 🤦

I get ya. Indeed, if there were any part of your post I'd have to take exception to it's the idea that that tiny sliver of Pennsylvania that sneaks up above New York's baseline has any right to exist or to claim the lake! 😜

This is how we ended up with 17 USC 117(a) allowing the making of copies of a computer program so that the program can actually be executed and so that it can be backed up. I don't think the law has really caught up with how copies of works need to be created to do things not protected by 106.

Aneurysm9 @aneurysm9.com · 03/12/2025
Copyright law was largely written without an understanding of how computers work. To the extent that "looking at things ... when you're a computer" requires making a copy of those things then it necessarily involves exercising one of the exclusive rights enumerated in 17 USC 106.

It's that selection and arrangement that is copyrightable, not simply the words themselves. It's also why a model trained on every word in the English language wouldn't make every subsequent written work a derivative work. The copyright covers the expression, not necessarily its constituent parts.

Hello, friends! After 10(!) years of #AdventOfCode, I've made some changes to preserve my sanity: there will be 12 days of puzzles each December (still starting Dec 1) and there is no longer a global leaderboard. Read more: adventofcode.com/2025/about#f... adventofcode.com/2025/about#f...

Reminder: code review is not "to catch mistakes", it is a tool for understanding to limit bus/lottery factor first and foremost. When code is written (if you're lucky) by one human, having the second human abdicate their judgment to the machine is actively harmful to your team's code understanding.

Even better is when it says "let me simplify your failing test" and proceeds to rip out the test entirely. I guess "no [test], no problem" is a philosophy...

Q CLI is great. Sadly there are ~37 other Q products that are poorly differentiated and a bad experience with one might sour people in the whole "suite".

When I've been successful in using LLMs to generate prototypes to convince a team to take, or at least explore, a new path that opens up opportunities within that team for the senior folks to work with junior folks to get things done. Shit doesn't have to be the only thing that flows downhill.

Now I'm the most junior person on my team and the rules of the game have changed. I'm no longer guiding individuals but teams and organizations and I'll take all the help I can get in doing so.

I absolutely do when I can. I was able to do a lot of this in my last position and I hope to be able to do more of it in the future. Some grew and left the team, others are now running with the product I helped conceive and launch.

Aneurysm9 @aneurysm9.com · 28/06/2025
LLMs that can shit out prototypes that help me achieve those goals _are_ the new tools that I get to experiment with. I still get to be creative with what I ask it to do and how I refine the results until they're what I need. I find that more enjoyable than trying to program humans with prose.

Aneurysm9 @aneurysm9.com · 28/06/2025
I agree with you, mostly. The thing is, I have a job to do and that job largely involves convincing a seemingly endless series of people to change their plans and behavior in order to change the direction of a large organization.

In fact, it's probably better that they're not "good" so it's more clear that they're effectively wireframes for conversation and not production-ready software.

Aneurysm9 @aneurysm9.com · 28/06/2025
That software doesn't need to be maintainable or extensible or any of the other things we'd normally associate with "good" software as a developer. It needs to show that something is possible to allow it to be considered as a basis for humans to do the work of making it "good".
