Also pulled my shoulder last week from 1 minute of shadow boxing. I am a tiny man. A muppet of a man

It did not even hurt that bad but my body LOVES to overreact. tried to move off after a minute and had to crouch down again for 2min to not collapse

Remember, embodying the spirit of straight animals is actually more gay.

A soft-focus image of a bunny with green text overlay. The text reads: "WARRIOR AFFIRMATIONS. I AM A BUNNY. I can hop as high as a bunny and be as cute as a bunny, but that does NOT mean I am as GAY as a BUNNY."

I love the smart constructor pattern / refined type generalisation, but one of the main sells for me is the big red button of `unsafeRefine :: a -> Refined p a` which you can't really get with fancier types. so I stick with talking about types & predicates rather than saying X is unrepresentable

Saying "I'm gonna kill myself" to the smallest of things is an indicator of a healthy mind

Can't google "purview" any more because of a product of the same name. Duckduckgo is hardly any better. What the?

Yes, computers do everything at our company but don't worry, there's always a human reviewer. Nothing goes out the door without one of our highly trained shruggers briefly glancing at it and clicking Approve

I wonder if my parents too felt like society and the greater world was collapsing around them when they were in their 20s. Or their parents. I wonder if they too felt like their hobbies, interests, careers were being destroyed by insipid people and ideas. I'm just saying some empathy would be nice

I frequently see "AI" boosters implying that LLMs are simply an innate and superior part of coding now, inescapable, and that literally all programmers agree with them. And, well. That, too, is a form of propaganda

Looking at my software peers in 2026 I see fatigued faces, I see frustration, and I see a lot of people looking for a way out of an industry that seems poised on the brink of collapse. LLMs are being pushed on us at every turn, most people seem at best frustrated by them, and ultimately they seem to appeal most to people who see the production of software as a purely mechanical means to an end. They are antithetical, however, to the idea of software as a craft, or something requiring both initial and ongoing care. As an expression of the soul.

I do that when I get to review the work but otherwise, it's a time thing. i.e. there isn't enough of it

what if it's 60% useful, instead of the 90% I would have written? it's still useable, just worse than I wanted (this was me handing off a task). idk I don't quite know how best to approach things like this

This time I have reason to do some extension work and I will simply quietly replace it with legible prose
