Every piece of code I write feels like a decision I'm taking responsibility for. If my code doesn't work, or does something it shouldn't, it's on me. So I prefer to take my time and ensure the code is right to the best of my ability.

mfw mr beast is planning to launch his own bank

Film still from The Big Short showing a close-up of Christian Bale portraying Dr. Michael Burry. He wears a blue T-shirt and white wired earphones, sitting in his cluttered office with blurred shelves and a monitor in the background. This moment occurs during a key scene in which Burry listens to music while analyzing financial data, underscoring his socially withdrawn and hyper-focused character as he anticipates the impending collapse of the U.S. housing market. The glass reflection in the foreground emphasizes his isolation and detachment from others around him.

It’s like with tax software—makers of tax software have an interest in making tax laws overly and needlessly complex. Makers of “coding LLMs” have an interest in making it impossible to write code manually.

Oh look, a Python package that does exactly what I need! It's lightweight and well-documented, even! It's unfortunately also unmaintained and depends on an older version of a library my project uses that has since introduced breaking changes 🙃

And one thing I'm quickly realizing about myself is that I have a hard time sympathizing with the idea that "the way the world used to work" is harder than how big tech wants it to work. I can't shake the feeling that big tech thrives on people who conflate "new" with better.

An interesting document is Wikipedia's edit filter for internet brainrot which gets updated if certain meme phrases are overwhelmingly used in vandalism. It started in the yolo/swag era and has evolved to the skibidi/rizz present, regularly dropping memes that are sufficiently stale (like Harambe)

$regex to capture memes such as "|absolute\s*unit" and "|b+o+iii+"$
