    LLMs can always be trusted to code the thing right, once all other possibilities have been exhausted.

    “In another example of them not understanding the spirit of WordPress, the fact that plugins can change every aspect of your WordPress experience is a feature, not a bug!” — Matt you-know-who writing about EmDash. My new keyboard:

    The “Clean Architecture” is really just PTSD and masochism in a preacher’s overalls. Which I guess you’d expect from its author.

    Remember when it was an absurd, laughable cliché for astronauts to return to earth and while they were gone it’s been nuked into oblivion? Rather than being possible, even slightly?

He’s ostentatiously a convert and law graduate, it’s the sort of thing he’d say. And so now I’m reading the Code of Canon Law (1984) to see if he can be excommunicated. So far looking good

    Matt Canavan proposes an “Australia on steroids” plan. Apparently forgetting that anabolic steroid abuse often leads to dangerously high blood pressure and terrible blood markers. Frequently also brings liver damage (sometimes failure), infertility, erectile dysfunction, aggression, depression, paranoia… I mean yes they can make you look good.Amazing, even, if that’s the look you want. But it doesn’t come without side effects. As the old saying goes: there ain’t no such thing as a free pump

    LLMs have an eagerness to use loops, even when vector operations are trivial, that rivals the thirstiest old man on X hitting on the big boobie AI girl
