Entirely coincidental. This was actually a photo of JL Dong. Maybe he’s a long lost twin.

One could have stood up and gobble up an Oreo off the face of another in layer. Instant win.

Commits aren’t version control, they’re auditing. Sometimes you need to go back and recreate the path/timeline that led you to here and now. That they also serve as a way to rollback is a happy accident.

That’s cool that you can now see those two mountain lions in the trees.

Wasn’t this basically a scene in Idiocracy where the fast food company took the kid because the mother had no money for food?

Sometimes I just say it did some bullshit work to see how much it pushes back. Pressure testing assumptions will never get old. Works against humans, works against terminator robots ready to end the world. 😂

IMO, the main reason to continue learning these things is to be able to call the LLMs out on their bullshit. We use claude a lot and noticed it created a new feature/component by stuffing 18000 lines of code into a single file. LLMs are book smart, not street smart.

I picked up Stripe's Maintenance: Of Everything some time back and just started reading it. Like it so far. Best quote fro the first section: "Sometimes maintenance involves shooting the shark." "Old systems break in familiar ways. New systems break in unexpected ways."

Less about the failure states and more about the unexpected interactions of things previously thought to be well understood. I can’t count the number of times I’ve looked at a complex system and thought, “well, that’s funny” in a perplexed sort of way.

I took FEMA training 25 years ago. Best survival advice for disasters: shoes next to the bed. If you run outside naked but with shoes on you're more likely to survive than if you have clothes on but are barefoot. The FEMA guy had numbers for this. So... shoes next to bed, then relax.

I was told we’d have hoverboards and flying cars by this point. I’m not holding out for HUD.
