I want to believe, but it feels so hopeless. I’m thinking I need a career change 😔

the umpire should hide 12 collectibles around the baseball field and the first team to find them all gets an extra run scored

The other day someone told me that codex is better because it finds flaws in claude’s code. 🤦‍♀️

It’s not even that I feel like “software engineering is a craft” but I genuinely enjoyed the process and what I learned through the process. Now that’s all gone and I’m sad.

Seems like trans women finally figured out that it’s fun to do things together that aren’t drinking at a bar

30% less cars would embolden the remaining drivers to drive 30% faster due to the 30% emptier streets. We need 30% less cars paired with 30% narrower streets.

“People are working 12 to 13 hours a day just to press enter.”

I am done with this shit. It is over. The state of engineering right now is horrible. It has been half a month since I started a new role at a big company.
Nobody knows anything here. The specs, code, tests, PRDs, tickets, resolution of those tickets, reports, etc., everything is made by Claude Code.
Nobody on my team likes this. They are being forced to ship as much as they can. I have heard multiple times from higher management that pushing code is not a bottleneck, so why are we slow?People are working 12 to 13 hours a day just to press enter. Nobody is reading anything. Humans in corporate are doing nothing on their own. Everyone, literally everyone, from an L1 to an L7 engineer here is doing the same thing.
Talk to Claude. There is no sense of victory. Nobody is resolving bugs. In reality, nobody is thinking anymore.
Everything is done by LLMs. It is so soul-sucking. I would not mind it, to be honest, if we were at least given the time to check out the code and see what is going where. But no, the goal is to just ship. No matter what happens.

My favorite taco spot recently put up a full wall AI mural inside the restaurant. The mural depicts the outside of the restaurant with the name of the restaurant spelled incorrectly!!!

"Our findings and analysis have led us to conclude that first and foremost it is imperative that perspectives of women and gender minorities should be taken into consideration at all levels of transit planning." women and gender minorities should be the ones who are active in doing the planning

When I think about trans people in sports, I don’t think about lobbies or legislation. I think about my friends. Wrote about pick-up hoops, queer community and love:

Column: When I think about transgender people in sports, I think about my friends
Despite the rabid fixation upon the concept of trans women in sports, those who beat the drum the loudest for exclusive policies rarely seem to care about trans people themselves.

I fear that Chicago is going to have to experience a tragedy on the scale of Midwest City, 1999 in order to start taking tornadoes seriously

I had a 1999 Legacy back in 2014 or so. It was the 30th anniversary edition with heated leather seats, sunroof, hood air intake, and spoiler. Unfortunately it was wrecked (I survived). That’s the only car I actually miss driving.
