Imagine being happy and not overwhelmingly stressed.
I finally lost my shit about so-called AIs, LLMs, enshittification & everything fucking evil that @officialgrammarly.bsky.social is doing. I'm fucking furious, and not just about what 1 company has done. An open letter to Grammarly & the rest of the LLM hype machine www.moryan.com/an-open-lett...
The police informed me that there are physical locks I can install on the tracks to prevent this as well.
Got some security upgrades to do.
Just thankful all they stole was my pickleball equipment.
Day started out bad with the break in & theft last night...
Then, work started...
Day's going downhill even faster...
Got brand new garage doors recently. Old ones rattled so hard they shook the house. These are super smooth & quiet.
So quiet that I didn’t hear them when a thief gained access to one of our cars and then opened our garage at 4:15am.
Very lucky all they stole was my pickleball backpack.
Yeah, about $600 worth of stuff, but nothing compared to all my golf gear.

I don’t remember what happened?
Had no idea. Would deflect more sounds, so makes sense.
I’m doing it because it’s very forgiving. You don’t need perfection like you do for smooth walls.
I miss 2018 Twitter when I could tweet whatever popped into my brain and get 100+ likes from real people.
My world is so much quieter (derogatory) than it used to be.
The biggest change in software development is not AI code, but a permission structure for disregarding quality in the pursuit of velocity
No. I dunno, hard to say because I’ve used React so long (since 2014) that I just know what I’m supposed to do.
Genuinely, I’ve found nothing more elegant, but nothing too bothersome. Some annoyances.
Can’t destructure props without toRefs. Setting prop defaults is less intuitive, too. Nbd.
There is at least one Vue thing that can go in the trash can: the `:deep` selector.
Garbage. Don't give people a way to break the encapsulation of my component.
The only "wormhole" mechanism that should be able to change my component is a store or context (provide/inject). That's it.
There are a few things that I'm not fond of, but they're not Vue-isms. They're the byproduct of templates.
- Conditional UI is verbose
- SFCs don't result in many small components, it just means people make long files.
- emits are overhead when you can pass fns as props
But fine, I can deal
I've been working with Vue for ~1 year now and my opinion is...
It's fine.
I've never been (terribly) frustrated by it, but I've also never had a moment where it sparked joy or I felt like, "Wow, that was so much nicer in Vue!"
So it's fine. It's there. It works.
A knockdown textured wall I did by hand with some dramatic shadowing due to a down light.
Smooth walls are cool and all, but knockdown looks pretty cool with the right lighting, too.
luckily, it kind of means that I can just remove both uses of `!important` and rely on layer order. win win.
Our code is chock-full of !importants overwriting other !importants, and using a layer undid all that. womp womp womp.
Started using CSS Layers to solve some problems at work, only to learn the hard way that there are other nasty problems lurking in wait.
Turns out the precedence of `!important`s (don't get mad at me, i hate them, i inherited them) is in reverse layer order.

The problem is the same as ever, it's not how you build, it's what you build. And frankly, I don't really have ideas that aren't "how to fix my own problem".
I have a golf stat app I've built as a side project for ~5 years. If i had any faith that thing could make me a living (I don't), I'd do it.
Been thinking that perhaps the only way I might enjoyably use AI is to build a (set of) product(s) of my own, and the autonomy that might be gained from doing so.
If only the last 6 years didn't keep burning me out to where I have absolutely zero interest in being on my laptop after work.
I didn’t have exact figures in my mind, just knew it was around 70M in each election.
Ahh duh🤦🏼♂️ I was only thinking of the two times he won
Over 70M of them. Twice!
We're working on tooling to assess a PR's risk and auto-merge if it meets a threshold because we can't review the volume fast enough.
I, too, am not filled with confidence.
INNOCENT! FREE HIM
My brother, we had to explain a 1/3 pound burger was bigger than a quarter pound burger and still failed
It’s not like I don’t understand the advantages of AI, but I find nothing addictive about this.
I’m watching three dumb dots on a screen for a few minutes and then proofreading the output.
It’s passive activity, which is exactly the kind of thing to turn off my focus.
Same, buddy, same.
I didn't just want to make stuff, I enjoyed the process (and learning the process) of making stuff.
