Ish Works @ish.works · 02/08/2026After clicking "I do not consent" on the app's cookie notice, I start the metronome, only to find out that the click sounds are completely messed up, and the animation is 10 times bigger and brighter than before, *and out of sync with the clicks* 110
Ish Works @ish.works · 02/08/2026The perpetual 2020s experience: I want to practice the piano, but the metronome app I use has updated. 110
Ish Works @ish.works · 29/07/2026I heard politicians in Iceland are spreading fear and misinformation about local dairy products. They're using a Skyr tactic 100
Ish Works @ish.works · 26/07/2026The hardest thing about editing video is that I can't listen to podcasts or music while I do it 130
Ish Works @ish.works · 19/07/2026I think I may have finished writing a video script today???? Been a long time since I felt comfortable enough to finish a video project, so we'll see how this goes 020
Ish Works @ish.works · 16/07/2026Vibe coding and AI didnt fundamentally change the industry's priorities, it just made them take off the mask and reveal what they wanted this entire time: fast garbage to throw at users and investors. 7/7 020
Ish Works @ish.works · 16/07/2026So instead of doing the job of writing exact, meticulous instructions for what the server should do, with a very predictable set of outcomes, we are now encouraged (sometimes forced!) to write vague instructions to a chatbot, hoping it will in turn stumble upon the code we originally wanted 6/ 120
Ish Works @ish.works · 16/07/2026And now, given this code casino we can all play, that's still subsidized by investors to some degree, everyone's boss has basically just dropped the pretense: they never wanted precision work. They just want us to churn out mountains of garbage, and only think about the cleanup later, if at all 5/ 120
Ish Works @ish.works · 16/07/2026And all of a sudden, you can churn out piles and piles of semi randomly generated piles of statistically probably code. Can the LLM that generated it check the logic? Nope. Can it make sure only valid states are possible? Nope. Can it compare it to a spec? Maybe, sometimes, if you're lucky 4/ 120
Ish Works @ish.works · 16/07/2026And now, after these years upon years spent on honing these very precise skills, suddenly this new tool pops up that's basically a weird game of code roulette: come up and spin the wheel! Maybe youll end up with usable code! Or maybe not! But you can always spin again! 3/ 120
Ish Works @ish.works · 16/07/2026For years I've made a career out of doing precision work. Interfacing different systems according to a specification; making sure logic is airtight; finding every single possible invalid state and preventing it before it ever happens; making invalid operations be impossible in the system 2/ 110
Ish Works @ish.works · 16/07/2026Lately I've been feeling very frustrated by the whole AI thing in the software industry, not because I think it's useless (it's obviously got its uses), but because of a much more insidious thing 1/ 110
Ish Works @ish.works · 16/07/2026I want to open a heated tobacco store that specializes in Italian fast food flavored nicotine products. I'll call it Vapeiano 011
Ish Works @ish.works · 04/06/2026לשאלתך, זו אכן פוליקולה. לא בהכרח כל האנשים בפוליקולה בקשר ישירות אחד עם השני, ולכן מולקולה זה דימוי כ״כ טוב!!! 010

Ish Works @ish.works · 07/05/2026My version of being an asshole that's benefiting from war and carnage is that flights have gotten so expensive that going to Edinburgh by train now seems like a reasonable thing to do by comparison 010

Ish Works @ish.works · 29/05/2025i absolutely adore my ARM macbook pro, but every once in a blue while i need to do something that only works on Windows/Linux/x86, and emulation is so bad that i briefly consider getting a 200€ laptop from like Aldi or something, 020
Ish Works @ish.works · 19/05/2025apparently taking three day-trains, an over 14-hour trip each way, would actually cost about the same as flying. only problem is it's >14 hours. even factoring in getting to and from the airports, going through security, and an extra buffer, a 1.5-hour flight would only take 5.5 hours door-to-door 000
Ish Works @ish.works · 18/05/2025bonus: the train journey is so ridiculously expensive, that if i pay just 22% more, at €870, i can: rent a car, pay for extra insurance coverage, pay for the ferry across the baltic sea, AND PAY FOR GAS BOTH WAYS 110
Ish Works @ish.works · 18/05/2025welcome to my favorite game show! "will it be cheaper to take the train or to fly?" on tonight's episode: vienna to copenhagen and back, for two people! night train + day train trip that takes almost 24 hours: €712 direct flights that take and hour and a half: €362 120
