Extinction of the human race by AI? Once we start mounting guns on robots or equipping them with one ... sure, why not. Never underestimate the power of the stupid. youtube.com/shorts/Wjxwv...

Some people will have you believe layering is bad ... those people have not tasted lamination-done-right ;-)

Trying the new `union` keyword in C# 15 (RC.1) and already stumbled on "how the hell do I reflect over the union type and get all the cases". Poor man's approach is to inspect the type to see whether it carries the UnionAttribute and tease the cases from each declared constructor's parameters.

With rise of AI, the strain that puts, indirectly via the data centers needed to support it, on natural resources such as water and the world heating up, ... sounds like a killer combo.

Been taking claude.ai/design for a spin to come up with a design for my KDS. Looking good so far. Trying to cut down on the number of paper tickets (but still have it as a backup).

53 is the only decimal age that one can experience oneself where the hexadecimal equivalent reverses the order of the figures (35). The next one is when you turn 371 ...

So fucking tired of all this AI talk … can’t wait for the dust to settle and getting back to the order of the day, even if AI will be part of the new normal (which is fine by me).

Erosion is what happens to terms over time. Name any pattern, practice, or principle, give it time and eventually loudmouth devs will spit on it. Disgusting habit if you ask me.

One thing I find a useful application of AI is the ability to shuttle it questions of a statistical nature about data (code is data too). Not because I can't get the answer another way, but because I can be lazy about it and still get it. #guilty

As the years in my career in software development go by, I’ve started to notice that the toolbelt you need to carry around keeps getting bigger too. Simple is under appreciated. We’re so focused on the “meta” aspect of our profession …

7 years in and all that UI gear is still working top notch. I do my rounds during summer to clean every appliance (de-dust, clean outdoor gear). Configuration and upgrading has been relatively painless.

I'm probably not using enough AI since I'm not burning money fast enough compared to some of my peers, nor do I feel the need to purchase a very expensive, power-consuming box to run models locally. What's wrong with me?

Been thoroughly enjoying my renewed SSR journey. Between HTMX, Alpine.js and Chart.js I've got pretty much all I need to not have to reach for JS much these days. I've purposely ignored the Angular, Vue, React FXs of this world - if I had to build a state-full front-end it'd be ELM inspired.

Positional query parameters are not very refactor friendly when you are about to change the order or number of parameters.

Packing information into a tight space runs the risk of running into its limits but a little bit of research goes a long way.

I was looking for an object model in .NET that allows me to compose markdown documents similar to how Giraffe.ViewEngine offers one to compose HTML. Ended up writing my own, mapping it to MarkDig's object model to tap into its rendering capabilities.

Talk about throw-away culture ... just got the offer for the yearly inspection of my fire extinguisher: 40 EUR more expensive to get it checked than it is to get a new one with a 1 year permit included.
