"The Fate of Ophelia" sounds like a Lana Del Rey song, doesn't zing like a Taylor song.

I can never go back to a world without Github Co-pilot.

Don't need it to write any code, the PR summaries it writes with all the links is worth its weight in gold as a reviewer.

Github copilot is the best thing that ever happened to my shell scripts.

Now, everything has ⚠️ and ✅

The LLM bug I was having was that occasionally a tag won't be closed correctly (yes, I should be using structured output with OpenAI, but bear with me).

I'm trying to generate

<output_list>
<output>
</output>
</output_list>

except occasionally it would forget to close </output>

The real reason I haven't blogged in 2+ years is because my blog software runs on python 2.7.

It's a franken fork of pybloxsom, which is derived from the perl4 CGI bloxsom.

Ever since I got this list Mac M1, I haven't managed to get it to work & everything just goes into drafts/ instead.

Rippling's reminders makes me I feel like I've joined some fight club, which I can't talk about

This weekend was spent trying to debug my dishwasher's top rack washing issues, which still remains undiagnosed.

"maybe the issue is outside the box", so I suspect my tap cartridge in my sink is circulating back cold water into hot or my boiler isn't keep temps/pressure.
