My son recently started playing Breath of the Wild as his first Zelda game. A friend showed him how to use a glitch to get the Master Sword. I'm oddly annoyed by this, but I need to let it go.

They're all so weird. And so few people seem to actually care.

The other day I learned JS has atomics, and I had to try them out. Today I wrote a RingBuffer class from scratch that uses them for some audio processing. Fun part about using them is if you get it wrong your audio glitches out quickly.

Like many scientists, I’ve been mulling over the impact of LLMs on our fields. I’ve not yet seen it articulated, but I think there is a largely unspoken “invisible labor underclass” framework at play.

I'm never going to be over that time the Morton Salt building collapsed only to reveal it literally was a building just filled with salt

Yeah, good take. It’s more about being right than engaging with the point. Reminds me of the ”bUt eVoLuTiOnArY pSyCh” explanation some people trot out in response to poor behavior.

I'm recalling another desktop app they had a few years ago that supposedly needed to be exempt from the OS sandbox and 'accidentally' was reading data from other apps.

I feel like we all sort of admitted that bundle sizes were pretty bad circa 2017 or so, but they’d come down in time with awareness and better tooling…and then they never did.

AI Is an Elite Crime Spree
Documents show a Microsoft exec called AI the "largest theft of labor in human history.” New AI regulations are besides the point, the problem is we don’t apply existing laws to the powerful.

It's absurd how much money we've saved (~50%) while also having normal QCI. We were on Verizon's budget plan in the DC metro area and it was nearly unusable due to the worse QCI.

Watching my son's first play-through of Final Fantasy IX for the first time. What a great game! Some of the older Square games have a certain charm to them that is more than just nostalgia.

Another deeply weird thing about AI is that people using it don’t seem to talk as much about Actually Doing Things that AI helps with (such as software dev). I am certain people are using it to create, but the online discussion is one of fashion, rather than making things.

Matt Green @mattgreenrocks.bsky.social · 07/09/2026
The anti-anti-AI rhetoric is bizarre: randos concerned about my productivity (how thoughtful), a layer of condescension, and a hand-wavy argument about inevitability. Yawn. One of the worst things about AI at this point is how weird the vocal proponents *still* are about it.

Rails is easy to move off of: just look up how unserious they were about learning anything from history when it came to fat controllers.

Matt Green @mattgreenrocks.bsky.social · 26/08/2026
Yeah. I don't leave agents to do their own thing, and my shell prompt's git invocations use --no-optional-locks already, so the only thing left is our internal tooling. Looking at github.com/jj-vcs/jj/is..., all I see are Antithesis-shaped problems :)
github.com
jj creates divergent operations without any user input whatsoever · Issue #6830 · jj-vcs/jj
Description jj creates divergent operations (and changes) when just typing into the editor - no commands required to run. I have a theory on what the problem is (see actual behaviour section) Steps...

Matt Green @mattgreenrocks.bsky.social · 26/08/2026
Have seen other coworkers hit it too. Might be our internal tooling tripping jj’s concurrent modification checks, bc that preceded this event.

Matt Green @mattgreenrocks.bsky.social · 26/08/2026
Souring a bit on jj. Something about our work repo very rarely triggers a big mess of conflicts on main and it can be a mess. I can use the op log and roll back, but I have to transplant the work done after the mass divergence event by hand.
