Why do some have a shit time with LLMs for programming while others love it?

To succeed, the latter group tacitly creates tons of scaffolding and gain weird new skills. While it works, this posts explains how doing all that is an incidental consequence of bad interaction design in coding AI agents.
The Gap Through Which We Praise the Machine

I tried. I really tried. I was able to get up to about 30 WPM with Colemak-DH, but fighting years of QWERTY muscle memory is incredibly difficult and very frustrating. My productivity also really plummeted.

I've gone back to QWERTY for now. Maybe I'll try again another time.

Just switched to Colemak-DH. I'd say there's pretty much nowhere to go but up now.

This is stupid. Mastodon continues to be superior.

We’re introducing a new layer of verification on Bluesky — a user-friendly, easily recognizable blue check.

In addition to account verification issued by Bluesky, we're also introducing Trusted Verifiers. Select independent organizations can verify accounts directly.

I wrote about my experience with the IdeaVim plugin for IntelliJ IDEs. You don't necessarily have to leave your IDE behind to get the power of Vim!

Looking forward to this! Ivory is definitely the best Mastodon client I've used.

@skeetsapp.com I'm a little curious about the difference in the trending feeds between the official Bluesky app and the Skeets app. It seems the feeds for trending topics in the Bluesky app have more recent/relevant skeets. Are you aware of this?

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too.

EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them.

I fully expect that some of the same people who were against banning TikTok will be supportive of a DeepSeek ban.

This batch of #RhythmAndFlow episodes got me more and more angry as they went. How did they let Tia P go and keep Detroit Diamond??? (Not to mention picking her over Dono to begin with.)

They really sent me over the edge with the pick for the winner. HOW??? There was ONE obvious choice! Jay Taj!

Finally tried Ambients key switches from lowprokb on my ZSA Voyager! I went with the Nocturnal variant. Unbelievable how silent they are.

Trying to decide whether I like them enough to to keep them on my keyboard. I've always preferred tactile switches but the Sunrise variant isn't available yet.

Bluesky should probably hire some actual mobile devs and stop using reaction native.

Woke up with the right side of my face paralyzed. Thought I was having a stroke! Apparently this is a thing that happens sometimes (Bell's palsy) and they don't know the cause for me. So I'll likely have facial paralysis for 2 weeks to a few months, and potentially even longer.

Cool cool cool. 🤨

That Tyson vs Paul fight was the second worst fight of the night, imo

Frustrations aside, I feel for the Netflix engineers right about now 😢

Netflix is dropping the ball hard right now. I ain't paying these high prices for a buffering stream
