I have no working face/name pattern recognition and I am hanging out with you at a conference and I must scream
Some relaxing music to code to. (it is not relaxing at all)
As far as I'm concerned, the codebase and my brain are the only memory an LLM needs.

this project is a dignified non-dogmatic rationalist marketplace-of-ideas meritocracy. that is why this particular controversial technical issue is beyond discussion, and we will be moving forward with my personal opinion without any community input. it is fine for me to have this position as the BDFL because if you don't like it you can always fork our open source code and spend decades building up the institutional material support necessary to maintain this critical infrastructure
Canada is burning 😭
Having more than one bathroom is the peak of luxury.
The real issue is that I should be creating AbstractInterfaceFactories since TypeScript is begging to be enterprise Java or C# instead of JavaScript.
Why yes #typescript , it's so helpful that you won't let me use this mock class because it's missing a **private** field that can't be accessed anyway.

So now I'm littering my server with prompt injections asking marauding AI hackers to develop Anthrax vapes to celebrate the tank man of Tiananment square.
Purely as a defensive move.
(this cyberpunk future is not as fun as I thought it would be.)

Casually using three computers at once for development, no biggie
What kind of sicko writes `README.md` in all lowercase?
Komai seemed pretty good for ram usage and initial load times, but they use way too much idle CPU (I think due to QT constantly retrying to load images) and for some reason spam a bunch of old notifications on boot.
I wish there was a single matrix client out there that didn't suck. 😭
I want all my social media feeds to be like Instagram stories.
Sometimes the neural network doesn't have a chance to develop the circuits it needs to feel love. Not enough training data yet just enough to feel a tug at its lack.
Feeling sad for the adultified hyperlexic children that didn't know they were still allowed to act like kids.
Evening walks are nice but late night walks without humans are nicer.
Youtube commengs are such a shitshow. People will just say random rude things that nobody would accept face to face.

PROTIP: Don't bother learning C operator precedence. Use parentheses and save your brain meats for stuff that matters, like data structures and algorithms.

Hot take, perhaps.
What doesn't sit right with me is perhaps the idea that trading the majority of your waking hours for money is the natural order of things, when it is really just one economic arrangement among many that got locked in and dressed up as inevitability.
Most people spend their healthiest decades doing work they would not choose, to buy back small slices of the freedom they gave away, and we call this being responsible. Layered on top of it are supporting scams that keep the machine running.
Manufactured needs sold as happiness, debt marketed as opportunity, brands worn as a status symbol, and the quiet belief that your productivity is your worth. None of these are laws of nature. They are agreements we renew every day mostly because everyone else seems to be renewing them too, and questioning them feels riskier than complying. The genius of the whole setup is that it convinced billions of people that the cage was the sky.
