Do you have any #gdcr recommendations to create a day for software craft in a climate of "my day job is all about AI and I don't know how to apply what I learned and how to grow"?

I have some hunches but would love to hear your takes.

@finestructure Because everyone shat in his timeline, I understand taking a break on Mastodon, but let's opening this other can of worms because of ...? -- hm

You see, the thing about principles is that you need to hold to them not just when it's convenient. If you only reject LLM use when the results are bad but jump on board when the output suits you, you’re telling me that the externalities were never truly the issue. You just liked hearing […]

"I'll just go to the big box store and grab a thingie to close the water pipe and then we can turn on the main valve again" he thought The thingie has no standard size it seems An hour wasted, still no water.

How may hair do you have to lose before you're considered 'bald'? At how many grains of sand exactly do you have a heap?

When does AI code with AI review turn the code base into a […]

"LGMT" is an AI generated music video about AI coding and how it leads to doom

The cautionary chorus: "millions of lines, and nobody on earth knows what it possibly means" -- the crux there is that it has no meaning because no […]

I can get Mircea Eliade's "Religious History" books in Turkish for reasonable prices, but not the English originals. Huh.

When running a web server gets expensive because of all the scraping: "Fundamentally these AI companies are now charging me to train their models for them. I am now being billed $2,700 per month, $32,000 per year, so that their spicy-autocomplete plagiarism-machines can suck the blood out of […]

@pixel come to think of it, yeah, I wouldn't have been surprised if @Migueldeicaza did exactly that

It's really tough to come up with an enticing invitation for a code retreat in 2026 where everyone's craft is being devalued

So with #Lettera for Mac I'm maintaining a wiki with clickable links and minimal lock-in for video game concepts.

Parts of the wiki contain literate programming blocks now that declare in an engine-like expression how points in the story relate to each other […]

Unknown source. Google claims it's from "Non Sequitur" by Wiley Miller but it doesn't match his style.

Localtion: INFO HUB (formerly known as ticket counter) on a train station.

Clerk to elder woman: 
“OK; one more time: Go home and log on to
our website from your computer, create an
account and purchase your ticket with your
credit or debit card, download the ticket to a
smartphone, then come back at the allocated
time... Just what part of ‘easier and more
convenient’ don t you get?”

I get a cold marketing outreach for one indie app for Mac per day in my email inbox. Wild

OH GOD the whole app is Solarized now though

The #Xcode 27 onboarding dialog looks nice though. Didn't expect an animation in the end. That almost feels like someone wanted to signal they care. I dig it.

Typinator doesn't work on macOS 27 anymore. Probably accessibility privileges broken? 😬
