yeah, there are a lot more designs of jockstraps or jockstrap-like undies than just the traditional one

10 years since i held your hands and in an instant saw your eyes reflect the stars align in our twilight August sky, a new constellation born from our vows that we’d spend the rest of our lives charting together, eternal stargazers. no dark clouds ever extinguished our starlight. love you, sweetie.

given the criteria i listed and the descriptions of the models online, i used Sonnet 5 to balance effort, (supposed) verification of work, and cost this was straightforward and simple work at a small scale and it fucked up requests for things as minor as individual functions multiple times each day

010

August Parker @augustparker.bsky.social · 21/08/2026

since you are the prominent for it, what model do you think i SHOULD have used for a <50 file coding project that is a single class library with a singular straightforward purpose, and a $100 budget of tokens for the month i have to fit in?

121

August Parker @augustparker.bsky.social · 21/08/2026

i see we’re going to play the game “tell me what you used so i can invalidate your experiences”, which i won’t be able to win because if i say the “wrong” model it’s my fault, and if i picked a “right” model it’ll be dismissed as either “it got better” or “oh well mistakes happen”

110

August Parker @augustparker.bsky.social · 21/08/2026

my decision to not use it to write my code for me is based on my actual lived experiences of using it at the behest of my organization, and no amount of telling me how good you believe it is based on YOUR experience and views invalidate MY experience using it if you can’t see that, that’s on you

110

August Parker @augustparker.bsky.social · 21/08/2026

the sheer fucking arrogance of sneering at someone for not using AI to do their work based on assumptions about what i code with, whether i’ve used AI or what my experiences were if i did, is absolutely wild and just plain gross, and a fucking weird thing to do to a stranger from the jump

110

August Parker @augustparker.bsky.social · 21/08/2026

wish i could share that code snippet but after opening Claude Code today following a hiatus of a month or two, it somehow lost (or for some reason hid) all my conversations and Code sessions, despite retaining the stats of those sessions and my usage, and the setup for the folder i worked in

110

August Parker @augustparker.bsky.social · 21/08/2026

- wrote a function that would fail to compile because it used completely invalid syntax for creating and setting the value of a variable. syntax so obviously invalid i knew it wouldn’t compile the moment i read it and lo and behold when i tried it for shits and giggles it failed to compile

110

August Parker @augustparker.bsky.social · 21/08/2026

- told me a file referenced in the session didn’t appear to be on disk and to check it still existed, even though it did. i had to tell it to check again for it to find it, and be told the agent “missed it”. there were only 36 files in the project and it still missed one.

110

August Parker @augustparker.bsky.social · 21/08/2026

- asked it to read all files in a (relatively small) project to update its understanding of the relationships between them, e.g. what inherits what and which interfaces are used. except after saying it was done and listing the files, it ignored all the interfaces in the project.

110

August Parker @augustparker.bsky.social · 21/08/2026

- got an exception from its method and asked it to check its work. it told me it was correct and the error must be from an upstream source i wrote. except it treated a numeric property of an object as a string which made the code to set an object’s value in a collection treat the param as an index

110

August Parker @augustparker.bsky.social · 21/08/2026

- giving it a link to a Swagger for an API and asking it to read it for context for subsequent questions. after telling me it had done so it failed to answer a question because it actually failed to retrieve the Swagger and said nothing

110

August Parker @augustparker.bsky.social · 21/08/2026

well, i have used it because my organization pushed us to try it whether we wanted to use it in our actual live project work before testing it or not. so here’s a VERY non-exhaustive list of Claude Code fuckups i’ve dealt with not long ago while using it that caused countless headaches:

110

August Parker @augustparker.bsky.social · 21/08/2026

i love that we’ve moved on from the baseless assumptions about me, like what language i code in and that i haven’t used AI bc i’m a conservative luddite, and the smug claims were definitely right without acknowledgement or apology lmao i guess we just get to pretend that never happened

110

August Parker @augustparker.bsky.social · 21/08/2026

considering i’m the person he’s talking about i think i have the authority to state what he is and isn’t right about you dipshit

111

August Parker @augustparker.bsky.social · 21/08/2026

fucking lmao the smug self-assurance with which you state shit that’s literally all wrong is such an on-the-nose encapsulation of AI and its evangelists i’m embarrassed for you

the feeling of wanting to make art out of sheer spite grows

100

August Parker @augustparker.bsky.social · 20/08/2026

and fuck you for making your need for comfortable art everyone else’s problem

010

August Parker @augustparker.bsky.social · 20/08/2026

if the space you allow for messy and complicated experiences of queerness in art is limited to a tiny box of acceptable behavior, reactions, and traumas then you don’t actually give a shit about advocating for the existence of messy and complicated queer art & characters or art that’s uncomfortable

110

August Parker @augustparker.bsky.social · 20/08/2026

i just know if i go looking through the timelines of the people most loud about this, they’ll have at some point opined about the need for more art that allows queer people to be imperfect and messy but the moment that art actually exists and is messy in a way that makes them uncomfy, they hate it

110

August Parker @augustparker.bsky.social · 20/08/2026

the more i think about this clusterfuck shitstorm instigated by bad faith dipshits, the angrier i get absolutely fuck you for making this community less safe for art that allows people to express the messy & complicated personal experiences of queer people

131

August Parker @augustparker.bsky.social · 20/08/2026

they make the community unsafe for art that isn’t sanitized and comfortable

030

August Parker @augustparker.bsky.social · 20/08/2026

people like Dangpa who are clearly incapable of engaging with art that deals with the complicated nature of lived experiences and insist on moralizing the content of art as endorsement, and its creators as proponents, would demand i explain myself and publicly dissect my trauma for them to judge

130

August Parker @augustparker.bsky.social · 20/08/2026

i don’t need to have my life ruined by thousands of strangers harassing the fuck out of me because being in an abusive relationship can leave you grappling with complicated, conflicting, confusing, messy feelings about it and the abuser you loved that take years of therapy to even begin untangling

120

August Parker @augustparker.bsky.social · 20/08/2026

shit like this is why i can’t bring myself to create a story sharing my lived experience of abuse as a teen b/c the extremely confusing & complicated feelings an abusive relationship leaves you with would 100% be used by bad faith readers like Dangpa to harass me with, and dogpile me for, my trauma

150

August Parker @augustparker.bsky.social · 20/08/2026

the idea that one can definitively know an author well enough to pass moral judgment on them as a person solely from a single piece of work is fucking stupid

August Parker @augustparker.bsky.social · 20/08/2026

“the author of this story believes murder is good because the main character is a hitman and their profession goes unquestioned”

i haven’t decided what i haven’t decided when but there WILL be consequences for this

i wasn’t asking you i was asking Snake idiot

Lt. Col. Goose Geesamen, do you believe love can honk even on the battlefield?

in fact, you didn’t even assess yourself whether the Nature paper itself was worthwhile, you had Gemini assess it for you by relying on it because it “mostly gave thumbs up.”

110

August Parker @augustparker.bsky.social · 25/11/2025

except there is no reason to trust its understanding or summation of the article and its sources, and thus its arguments based on same. did you fact check its understanding or summaries before sharing its responses? no. you didn’t even begin reading the Nature paper until afterwards.

110

August Parker @augustparker.bsky.social · 25/11/2025

there’s something beautiful about having to outsource your arguments against criticism of AI, to AI. a complete inability to function without AI doing literally every step of human communication, from reading to learning to thinking to responding. “you think AI is bad? well the AI says YOU’RE bad!”
