I’e always been more likely to use parenthesis or commas. I was really into to type and typography, so they don’t bother me, but most people don’t use them so it’s a dead giveaway that an AI is likely involved. I have a rule to not use them.

Very interesting, thank you.

Question, how much of this is on the devs and how much is on the networks and device manufacturers?

People who aren’t tech savvy might not realize that they’re being sold or given the modern equivalent of a Pentium II phone. At a certain point, that old horse has to be put to pasture.

I’m guilty of letting the LLM do this in my own repos.

What about always writing extraneous markdown files in your repo that you never asked for. It’s in my rules to stop it, but they easily forget.

Will this be recorded at all?

I never ever knew this was a thing. Very very cool.

Is music a side project, or the main project, funded by your day time job?

I ask, because I work in e-commerce and honestly don’t give a lick for it. If I could, I’d be writing songs or drumming or playing guitar or doing YouTube reviews of guitar pedals all day long.

When people get annoyed at me for at least insisting on public slack channel discussions instead of dozens of private messages or private team channels, this is why. I know it’s annoying _now_, but it’s essential Slack hygiene so we at least have a chance at finding something.

Is there more to that article? Am I supposed to view a video or something? I’d like to read more, but there’s nothing else to read or do when I read that introduction

No guessing what the business logic is.

Before I left my last job, I was building exactly this. Xstate + Zod. I loved the idea of having an exact, testable flow for every step and state. With the visualizer, the PM’s can write out the entire exact flow.

Would have been glorious. Then I switched jobs and it’s in the dust bin.

I just watched it last night. Really good. I was worried that the effects would bother me or the monster design. But overall, it held up. The casting was excellent.
