Working with my 8 year old on designing a game to teach him how to type has been a good counterpoint to LLM induced anxiety and dread.

So far, Fable is the only model to take my "reply to me like you are Carmy from The Bear" comment in my Claude file seriously. However, it does not pick up on my The West Wing references. So, there is still room for LLM improvement.

My not so humble opinion in dealing with Security Architects and Spdcialists over four decades is that many hold users in contempt and do not care that their products and solutions are painful to use.

A long known irony of automation is that as you automate the most frequent (and easy) cases first, people are left to handle both increasingly rare *and* challenging situations, with less practice.

Day two of vibe programming with Cursor. I don't get the hype. This is...terrible. The model regularly gets lost in my file system, fails to use its own internal API, overwrites existing things like migrations, outputs half completed modules. Is this thing an iPhone 4? Am I just holding it wrong?

I was recently perusing the Phoenix codebase (as one does), and loved how `Phoenix.Logger` handles its own telemetry data to log statements. It's brilliant! It centralizes logging so you don't have duplicative `Logger` and `:telemetry.execute` statements!👇
