but if all the buses are going in the opposite direction to where you want to be, staying at home is the best option. i don't think this bus metaphor works all too well

I had a bug in my new ML-DSA implementation that caused Verify to reject all signatures. I gave up after half an hour. On a whim, I threw Claude Code at it. Surprisingly (to me!) it one-shotted it in 5 minutes. A small case study of useful AI tasks that aren't generating code that requires review.

Claude Code Can Debug Low-level Cryptography
Surprisingly (to me) Claude Code debugged my new ML-DSA implementation faster than I would have, finding the non-obvious low-level issue that was making Verify fail.

The mental health benefits of not knowing any history right now must be massive. Moving through your day with total equanimity. What happens next? Who knows? Maybe something good

The conservative movement has turned against reality on every scientific issue of our time, from gun violence to climate change to epidemiology. If campuses are ideologically homogenous, it's not because academia has ostracized conservatives. It's because conservatives have ostracized academia.

The people who think they are good at everything because they are good at coding are also bad at coding.

Currently getting shaken down for exorbitant fees for the tool whose name shall not be mentioned (has the same name as a 1997 horror movie about a giant snake). If you're still using that old tool, or you're using Poetry, you will never regret moving to uv. thijsnieuwdorp.com/posts/uv/

the current branch: HEAD wizardzines.com/comics/the-c...
panel 1: HEAD is a tiny file containing the name of the current branch

(diagram)

panel 2: when you commit, git updates the current branch to point at the new commit

(more diagrams)

panel 3: SO MANY things in git use the current branch

* git commit moves it forward
* git merge merges into it
* git rebase copies commits from it
* git push and git pull sync it with a remote

panel 4: many git disasters are caused by accidentally running a command while on the wrong branch

person: "git commit"

person: "UGH I didn't mean to do that on main"

panel 5: I keep my current branch in my shell prompt

to me it's as important as knowing what directory I'm in

panel 6: 

julia: "I think HEAD is a weird name for the current branch (why not CURRENT or something?) but we're stuck with it"
