Purescript, Erlang, Rust, C, Typescript - but probably actually talking shit about video games or shit talking about code. I hail from codeofrob.com and that probably tells you everything you need to know about the quality of my posts.

Tomorrow's itinerary is quite imposing, out at 9am for a traditional Lyonnaise Machon (cheese, offal, wine), followed by a traditional Lyonnaise bouchon lunch (offal, wine), followed by an institutional Lyonnaise dinner (offan, creamy sauce, wine). Thankfully today is a light day of offal and wine.

Ah yes Badenoch, “cut welfare to control inflation”, “if the poors have less money the prices are sure to come down”, absolutely out of touch with any semblance of reality

If you were driving the Claude I've been driving for the last day or two, the only reason you'd be concerned about it destroying humanity is if somebody was dumb enough to put it in control of the nuclear launch codes

Highlights of EOTR - ChatGPT summarised my scores. and I like "musicians who are obviously capable, have a strong individual musical language, are willing to fuck around structurally/sonically, but still understand that they're supposed to entertain you - so they're the ones here.

Doing a 10km the day after a four day festival of a beer, liquorice, and goat curry diet has a way of bringing you back to earth. Currently feel like a fat blobby mess, but I managed it.

Played good golf (by my standards) in Spain for the first time ever yesterday, drives mostly down the fairway, laying up (intentionally) for a safe chip onto the green then mostly 1-2 putts. A temporary breakout of borderline competence. I fully expect my other two rounds to be unmitigated disaster.

Golf (and presumably other sports like it) is so weird - you can know how to do it, you can hit a few shots at the range and go “yeah, cool, I got that”, then turn up at the first tee and because it’s a competition wit strangers the club feels like an alien object, how the heck does this work, what?

Dialled back my swing a little, gained a ton of predictability- a little more patience in transition and this will be a functional thing for the golf course

My schedule ran away with me yesterday so my first bake with the new starter has ended up being an overnight bulk proof - my least favourite, especially with a new starter that isn’t as active as I like. Will it have stalled by the time I stick it in a banneton? Let’s find out

It's really impressive how all the career conference speakers are able to become experts in the latest hotness every year so easily. And of course if everybody started talking about Dunning kruger again they'd certainly be the first to give a talk about having imposter syndrome.
