Hoping to increase my post:lurk ratio here. I like video and board games, whiskey and cats. I write code for a living and love doing it. My sense of humor is probably darker than it should be, but that seems to fit with the times.

The AI bubble is a stunningly designed grift. Here's a machine that promises to automate the alienation of labor for knowledge workers, built on their past work, marketed to a buying class who has none of the skills to evaluate the output of these tools or the talent they promise replace.

Working on a new Angular app. As with all JS applications, the thing I keep asking is - why do I have to write the same code so often? (And no, I honestly don't think code generation is the answer - that code still needs to be read & understood.)

If you could get another album from a band that’s not making music together anymore, who would it be? Right this second, I’d love another Modern Baseball album.

Trying batch 24-04 from Bookers. It’s sweet, definitely some cinnamon, maybe some red fruit. Nice finish too.

Cold morning friends. It’s icy and windy out here in Michigan. These two don’t know why I went out there at all. (School carpool)

Day 3 of adventofcode.com done. I ended up solving it with regexes. Tricky that the test input changed between parts - that hung me up for a couple of minutes.
