welcome new bluesky friends! I was recently added to two cool lists I have a twitch and instagram where I primarily post @janetacarr everywhere, basically.

is anyone else obsessed with the "shape" of code? In addition to being well-written, its structural form inspires beauty or am I just a weirdo

low key a little pissed that LLMs ruined the em dash in writing the em dash was central to my writing voice and I'm struggling to dance around it and keep my flow

nobody cares if LLMs produce poor code quality code quality is not a KPI, OKR, SMART goal, CSF, or CPI. it doesn't matter to corpos. when poor code quality reaches criticality, business systems can fail. So let them eat cake.

well this is surprising apparently someone is impersonating me on @discord.com ? my discord username is "janetacarr" ( formerly janetacarr#0930) photo sent by a viewer (note the _ in the impersonator's username). careful out there

each year i become more convinced that professional software development deliberately perverts the enjoyment of programming and it doesn't have to be this way

sometimes you just have to sit and put some hard, capital "C", Coding into it

i hate to admit it but it seems talking to LLMs like corpos works best; doing praise and criticize / feedback sandwich produced best results ie "this is great work. Can you blah blah blah? I love the work so far" Also saying "homie" works well too.

It's always so remarkable to me how simple a tree traversal algorithm can be in Clojure This is 10 lines of code (sans docstring of course).

if you want LLMs to write more of your "favourite programming language" for you you don't have a favourite programming language. You have a technology tribe.

Whelp so much for going to Conj and TwitchCon 🙃

I only really get updates on my ex-boyfriend because we still follow each other on github. He's building.

When people say Devin is like a replacement for an intern or junior developer, I can’t help but wonder if they’re sourcing developers from a pre-school

2024 was wild. - dated my exes - stayed freelance after all - started twitch & made partner - climbed out of 2023 unemployed debt - made every mistake with my course - still single - tired For 2025 I want to downsize my apartment, and focus on course & twitch.

I think it may have been a bit ambitious to think I could travel for the holidays AND stream on twitch😅

Humans don’t have benchmarks like ARC We have intuition and emergence about other humans from social cues and shared evolution. Despite what the benchmarks show, it’s pretty obvious when we’re consuming AI generated content. Human touch will always be necessary.

I can't wait for AI to make all creative work irrelevant, so I can go back to hard labour and roommates 💀

Once, as a youth, I met a man who worked in computing I asked "Do you do programming?" he said "no, I do software engineering" this mf

For me it seems a really subtle sign of burning out is when typical eustress starts becoming distress

Building a list of Clojure libs to avoid. So far I've got: - compojure-api - plumatic schema - typed.core - clojure.spec (lol) - figwheel-main What else ? Yes most of these a deprecated, but I still see people using them for some reason.

is it just me or is clojure-lsp and lsp-mode just blatantly broken?
