Every time I use a LLM for coding, it *still* fails in (sometimes very) subtle ways. Every single time. I can now, in 2026, only diagnose a skill issue: either on my side – or, not much more unlikely, on everybody else’s 🫠
No, nothing with the exception of the name for Poland is ‚suuuuper weird‘ about it.

Simon often publishes incorrect data and then never replies, never corrects his postings.
Ever heard about Semestergebühren?

Online people are weird.
I just don’t get why some certain worldwide spoken language calls it "corn" when there is the beautiful, non-generic and unique word "maize" for it.
Do native speakers even realize that corn simply means grain? 🤔
I kinda wish I could be *helpful* to others in a way that isn’t too overwhelming for myself.
My fear of the depletion of my funds and complete fossilization of myself is increasing daily. But I‘m staying put.
I dislike how this sounds like a whiny confession, but it truly sucks, and I have to get it off my chest!

If you're wondering how that's sustainable, the answer is: It is not.
I wish I wasn't burnt out. I often go for *months* without doing literally anything, living off my savings, until a tiny, god-sent burst of productivity comes along for a few days.
Surely this one very last – promise! – dopamine hit triggered by my thumb swiping that glowing glass rectangle will fix me!
If I could change one thing about the software industry, it would be adding way more quirky humor and whimsy.
And I don’t mean silly meme pics in medium dot dom coding tutorials but instead more original and fresh styles like Nikita Prokopov‘s, for example.
I envy ADHD folks who seem to have a new project idea every 4 nano seconds.
Maybe I should team up with them so we’ll hit a healthy middle ground together by reluctantly bringing my depressive and depressing can‘t-do-attitude into the mix?

Personally, I like Auto Layout quite a lot and find it pleasant every time it "clicks". But I‘ve seen others struggle a lot with it, and I seem to hear a lot of confusion about Swift Concurrency as well. I know it’s at least a decade too early to do so, but I wonder what‘ll be *its* successor.
If Structured Concurrency is the equivalent of Auto Layout, which many people also found quite a bit too hard to grasp, then what will be the equivalent of the liberating (or scary) paradigm shift that was SwiftUI?
May I suggest making the Create & Submit button a little wider, though?
Why do we still get distracted ourselves with status symbols like we used to do centuries ago? Why can’t we at least temporarily unite for greater goods?
…
It is so, so difficult to bear that reason is considered boring and justice is little more than an imaginary concept not deeply inherent in man.
I‘m mad at the world again today. Why are we little more but talking apes? Why do we constantly take advantage of others for money and power? Why do we elect leaders who do their job very poorly?
When it comes to software development, I‘m all about care and quality. LLMs are not. Maybe it’s as simple as that.
Isn't it kinda silly of mathematicians that they don't like to participate in lotteries? I mean, how unlikely would it be that *only* statisticians, of all people, shouldn't be able to win? If they knew anything about their profession, they should know better :P
Whenever I read 'tackle', I just read 'tickle' instead and everything makes a lot more sense. Gotta tickle the upcoming work week, folks!
Because I can never tell if it is a mental health issue or a current state of the world issue I decided to abandon the concept of 'worrying' altogether.
The fact that I completely loose faith in humanity every few days implies that it somehow gets restored in between?
I know it's silly to pick on colloquialisms, but whenever I read the phrase "that's how I roll" I just can't help wondering where to? And tf why?!
Because you‘re fairly intelligent it should be clear to you by now that you‘re skimming another useless shit post at the moment yet you can’t stop reading it haha no honestly what’s wrong with you
