Gave you an opportunity for a good thorough cleaning. Lord knows mine needs it.

my precious boy. my moonbeam child, my wave upon the sand. if the only thing keeping people from thinking your writing is LLM-generated is that it has em dashes in it. the problem is not the em dashes

Heyo, I did the same thing. Deleted FB and Insta for our New Year’s resolution. It’s been honestly great so far.

It's pretty funny that the Hollywood representation of coding (lines of code flying past on a screen) has retroactively become a real thing

I literally couldn’t creat an account at American Airlines this morning, it kept giving me a form error, but none of the fields were empty or incorrect. It was so stupid.

I think the issue a lot of devs have with AI is that they haven’t realized that they’re project managers now. PMs don’t write the code for their projects, they herd developers who are probabilistic, idiosyncratic, who interpret requirements differently, etc. It’s all been shifted one layer deeper.

So… my cat Phyllis peed on some clothes on the floor in my bedroom. I trusted you Phyllis, I fed you and protected you from the dog, and this is how you repay me?

I’e always been more likely to use parenthesis or commas. I was really into to type and typography, so they don’t bother me, but most people don’t use them so it’s a dead giveaway that an AI is likely involved. I have a rule to not use them.

Very interesting, thank you.

Question, how much of this is on the devs and how much is on the networks and device manufacturers? People who aren’t tech savvy might not realize that they’re being sold or given the modern equivalent of a Pentium II phone. At a certain point, that old horse has to be put to pasture.

I’m guilty of letting the LLM do this in my own repos.

Dan Gayle @dangayle.bsky.social · 21/11/2025

What about always writing extraneous markdown files in your repo that you never asked for. It’s in my rules to stop it, but they easily forget.

Dan Gayle @dangayle.bsky.social · 20/11/2025

Will this be recorded at all?

I've updated the WebPerf Snippet "Find non Lazy Loaded Images outside of the viewport" to list images without loading="lazy". Now it shows: - Total number of images - Total file size - Individual details: URL, resolution & file size #WebPerf #WebPerfSnippets #PerfTools

Chrome DevTools Console showing lazy loading audit results: 46 images without lazy loading detected, totaling 4.34 MB, with a list displaying the first 5 images showing their resolution (900x600) and individual file sizes ranging from 14.63 KB to 104.76 KB.

Is music a side project, or the main project, funded by your day time job? I ask, because I work in e-commerce and honestly don’t give a lick for it. If I could, I’d be writing songs or drumming or playing guitar or doing YouTube reviews of guitar pedals all day long.

I’m at 98/100 in my remote Physical Geography course at Minnesota North college, I could quit now and get a 70% or C grade. The temptation is real.

I was playing Nick Harrison’s “Art Official Soul” on Spotify and my wife said “how dare you bring that into my house.” For those who don’t know, it’s 100% AI-generated covers of songs done in an old-school soul style. I said “but does it sound good?” And her response? “I don’t care.” Fatality.

See, I knew there must have been a greater purpose in making ChatGPT widely available to the unwashed masses like me. How else would I have learned this nugget of traditional Chinese medicine?

between diarrhea and constipation, which would most correspond to yin and yang?

In traditional Chinese medicine terms (very roughly mapped):

Diarrhea aligns with excess yin or deficient yang. Reason: loose stools, cold symptoms, lack of digestive “fire,” fluids moving too quickly.

Constipation aligns with excess yang or deficient yin. Reason: dryness, heat, slowed movement, too little moisture to lubricate the bowels.

It’s not a perfect one-to-one, but that’s the standard correspondence.

When people get annoyed at me for at least insisting on public slack channel discussions instead of dozens of private messages or private team channels, this is why. I know it’s annoying _now_, but it’s essential Slack hygiene so we at least have a chance at finding something.

Is there more to that article? Am I supposed to view a video or something? I’d like to read more, but there’s nothing else to read or do when I read that introduction

Before I left my last job, I was building exactly this. Xstate + Zod. I loved the idea of having an exact, testable flow for every step and state. With the visualizer, the PM’s can write out the entire exact flow. Would have been glorious. Then I switched jobs and it’s in the dust bin.

Dan Gayle @dangayle.bsky.social · 12/11/2025

Just fired up the Zed editor for the first time. I like it so far. Ported over my MCP settings and configured it to use Shopify’s internal AI proxies, and it’s cooking.

Happy There Is A Circulatory System Walking Through The Kitchen Day to all who celebrate.

It's an artistic representation of a circulatory system walking through a kitchen, as drawn by Dave Gibbons and written about by Alan Moore.
It happens a lot 'round here.

I just watched it last night. Really good. I was worried that the effects would bother me or the monster design. But overall, it held up. The casting was excellent.

I am really loving the Rust language. I like how it forces me to be technically correct, which is the best kind of correct. And it’s not so hard, really. I thought so back before I learned Typescript and a little C#, but now I realize the difficulty for me was always types, coming from Python and JS

I go in waves with this. Band shirts are generally lowest common denominator quality and fit, but they’re better looking than most “technical” t-shirts made out of better materials. In wet, cold winters, nothing beats a good merino wool t-shirt.
