Late night dev sessions get weird when the LLM starts tripping. 🫠 ​A reminder that the "magic" ✨ goes away once you realize it's just embeddings and calculated word associations. It’s not thinking; it’s just REALLY into adverbs. ​Hallucination like these got me into building game thewordspool.com

Winning an eBay bid battle for Batwheels toys discontinued for my lil guy so we can play together with it is what really got me cheesing today. Today is particularly special for me and the anniversary of winning a battle with my mental health and smiling at the small things. Feeling grateful 🥲❣️

​Who decided this? 😩 ​❌ background-color: linear-gradient(...) ✅ background-image: linear-gradient(...) ​Forget shorthand..like how is a gradient technically an "image"?! 😆 Is it just to enforce a solid color fallback? ​Make it make sense. 👇 ​#CSS #WebDev #Frontend

Head of design of Cursor roasting start up sites made by cursor. I think it's both a curse of Y combinator slop and Ai slop. I appreciate Ryo keeping it real, shows there is a lot of value of designers and engineers. "You want to avoid the typical ai slop..." youtu.be/RynySryqM_0?...

🤔 Human language/coding language has always slowed down computers. It's intentionally there for us to understand it and speak to it but a computer doesn't have to talk like us If this catches on it could be a huge pivot, but also a creepy pivot. Truly just trusting a robot youtu.be/Cis57hC3KcM?...

Was reviewing API props with the team and showed a doc using multi-color. They said multicolor (no dash) is better. I said, “That’s where I draw the line!" (because the dash… is a line.) I’ll see myself out.
