I think I've been mourning the job I used to have for the past couple of years.
First it was gradually having reduced input into a product that I'd felt part of from day one then it was the switch to using an LLM for everything.

Looking forward to all those who have a platform at #railsworld calling out the facism! I mean, why else would you go and give them your hard earned cash?

Just in case you still use any Basecamp products, DHH is crashing out about his AI product gently pointing out that it’s bad for him to have extermination fantasies about the Roma people.

I miss pull request descriptions and commits being written by humans.
They explain a simple concept in the most complex way, exactly the issue that I find the worst communicators suffer from.

Really enjoying learning Godot, it's such a fun engine to learn and just the right level of complexity for my brain.

I reluctantly have to use Basecamp in my day job.
It's actually a terrible product in nearly every way and its owner is a racist who is basically suggesting people like myself and my family shouldn't be in the country.
Knowing I work for a business that gives him money fucking sucks.

I've accepted (somewhat) the extent to which LLMs are part of my job now, but man does it feel soulless.
I do get the value of them, but the push to churn out everything everywhere all at once is exhausting and puts a much larger strain on the real people in the process.

Found a bracelet just past the nature reserve, where the path joins the South Downs Way. If you've lost it and can tell me the brand return it.

My big project: The Death Generator.
It's a tool for making fake video game screenshots, just fill in new text and it'll give you a (generally) pixel-accurate image back, the correct fonts and everything.

I'm really pleased with this little performance display I added to my case.
I 3D printed a little enclosure for it with gaps for the HDMI and USB power connections.
Could do with a less bulky USB cable with a 90° angled connector to tidy it up I think.
