@electrosmith.bsky.social any guidance on whether you’ll be building more patch.init modules? Waiting list?

The first mistake everyone makes is linear extrapolation. We live in a non linear world, linearity is only ever a short run approximation. The second mistake is assuming permanent exponential growth. There are no exponentials in the real world. There is always a hidden constraint, somewhere.

So the big bookstore in town has more shelf space dedicated to baking bread than programming. And I can’t find any books on things like electrical engineering. I worry.

Odd reality shift. I was chatting with a startup founder about how to improve the onboarding flow of his product. He pitched me a front end role. I realised I don’t want to do work that isn’t first and foremost about using AI to improve user experience.

AI was supposed to empower junior developers. In reality, it has become a tool that makes seniors more valuable while exposing the gaps in software culture.

Silly question of the day: when did Americans stop being engineers? Go back to recordings of the 60s and the US called itself a country of engineers. Justifiably proud of what they built during WW2 and afterwards. Now? I see no pride in building stuff. Just to be fair, Australia is the same.

I can’t imagine what Silicon Valley is thinking right about now. I suspect the next round of startups are going to need to either master team work over zoom, or move to Canada. Eh! www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Y’know what I find weird? We are doing stochastic compute atop a deterministic abstraction build atop a stochastic reality. That deterministic abstraction is expensive, and I’d guess not needed.

One of the odd parts of going from pure software development to combined software and hardware development is the number of engineering trade offs explode.

I’m using GenAI to learn electronics. It’s oddly engaging to have an unreliable tutor. I keep having to engage to figure out if I’m being told the truth or not. It’s waaay more fun 😎

As someone who is tooling around with a soldering iron, I can’t see how anyone builds electronics without easy access to parts out of China. Simple things like SMT resistors and capacitors.

You know, for all the noise about AI destroying education, I’m finding it quite useful for learning new things. There is a difference between “write my essay” and “critique my essay”
