If we never make bugs we never get butterflies. 🦋

Country-fried steak is just cowboy schnitzel.

The sneering dismissal in some spaces of LLMs is even funnier when people complain about copy-and-pasting...in at least one case it's like "friend, let's not pretend that like 80% of folks got here by just copy-and-pasting the same blog posts or stackoverflow answers".

If you use firefox, thank me later: browser.fixup.dns_first_for_single_words = true

Setting up split-horizon DNS and I swear to christ I'm *this* close to moving DHCP over too.

I really do wish that more of my colleagues who are developers understood a basic fact of life about LLMs right now: The window for "cheap"/"unlimited" usage right now is maybe 6-12 months (ignoring local models). After that, the screws will start to turn (more) and things get expensive. We have a great windfall right now to burn VC money clearing out bug backlogs in open source projects. It's really, really shortsighted not to capitalize on that before winter comes.

I was today years old when I learned about SSH and TrustedUserCAKeys .

Nothing wrong with whimsical or goofy people, but dear God avoid fundamentally unserious people like the plague. They will fritter away without two thoughts your time and money--the latter of course being something they'll have no chance of ever repaying.

sudo codex -a never -s danger-full-access (best run in a VM with snapshots lmao)

So, codex can use imagegen. Reliably. Just added textures to my silly little hack!

Welp, just vibecoded a silly little hex hopping game in Godot with Nix and Codex. github.com/crertel/pogo_game `nix develop` and it'll tell you the rest. Honestly, impressed but also horrified.

Terraform/OpenTofu and Nix are so close together yet so far apart it's making me twitch.

Replying to @AnthropicAI
@AnthropicAI had Claude do a power metal music video about what it's like to be Claude. Even asked it to make a bunch of famous samples like the amen break. It synthesized the instruments with numpy and scipy, FFI'd into flite with python, and put the video together using ffmpeg

Hacked up some fun wound rendering demos with Claude. Nothing super great looking--well, sorta--or on par with Valve's L4D2 work, but some really fun usage of buffers, signed-distance fields, and cellular automata for simulating blood flow.

How many levels of cyberpunk dystopia are you on? Here, I'm riding shotgun coming back from Austin while vibecoding the next iteration of the Gizmo runtime using a virtual desktop on my Quest and Thinkpad (on NixOS lol)--that's the cyberpunk part. As for the dystopia, well, I'll let current events speak for themselves.
