LLMs are mansplaining as a service, but more specifically that type of mansplainer who googles your question and replies authoritatively with the first result that comes up, despite having zero understanding himself.
Unexpected that I'm not finding any reviews of the #twiddler 4 online when I search. Has anyone actually used this thing?

Calling it now, learnable graph cellular automata will be the future of "AI coding assistants" :P
@drj These are excellent, ty. I think I should dig more into the sorts of ways folks work with combinatory logic, too.
@pbloem TY, the elementary graph edit operators described in that article are a great starting point for what I want to do. I could probably build up higher order operations on top of them. 🙇
Question for #math and #ComputerScience folks: What search terms should I use to find papers related to transitioning graphs to other graphs. Kinda like graph cellular automata but more the basic operations. I want to think about code AST transforms but would like to learn about general purpose graph transforms first. Boosts appreciated.
@macdonst it's a new codebase to me still so I over estimated how bad it'd be :P Luckily it was just a minor dep update.
Love it when a task takes an order of magnitude less time than expected 😎👍

Web comics about emerging technology don't generally age that well, but the passage of a mere decade hasn't blunted this one a bit.
Had a dream where the moon was taking up the entire sky.
Then a dream where a dog detective needed help solving a case. But he could only bark and honestly the clues didn't add up like he thought they did.

@Miaourt Just high level making sure you handle cancellation in every program that uses async code. It can be hard to answer "What is the best way to handle this long running task needing to stop half way through at arbitrary points". In my case it's needing to stop indexing events from a queue due to teardown of the indexer instance.
@ohmrun I honestly don't mind the language itself. It's just that it gets way harder to interface with it when you're using JS dependencies or trying to do stuff that works best with JS but is a huge pain in the ass to represent in TS.
I feel like a pure TS workflow with Deno would be less annoying to deal with compared to slapping it onto node.js and the node_modules workflow. 🤔
Still convinced TypeScript has added 10x more complexity and struggle to catch bugs that could be caught by CI. 🤷 I guess there's the fancy intellisense stuff too but I don't use it so 🤷🤷
Async cancellation is hard.

@thegibson There are two numbers you need to know. What is the minimum bill rate you need to survive. If you don't know know your billable utilization, assume 40%. 2080 hours in 2025, assume that you'll bill 832 hours. Find the bottom number that will allow you to pay your bills.
Then find out what bill rate is usually charged for your service. Usually, it's much higher than your bottom number.
Now you know how much you can wheel and deal on billable rate. My pitch used to be be "I'll beat the going rate by 20%"
