I am not a great (some would argue, not even good) programmer, and I find a lot of issues with LLM generated code. Even Claude pro does really weird dumb stuff.

The author actually addresses that - he hadn't even considered that pregnancy related issues would top the list. I think this was just a fun exercise for a curious mind. I don't think it needs to have a point - it's not an e

When I was learning cloud computing I ran an ASP.Net forum software on Azure Cloud Service with Azure SQL backend. It cost me ~110 USD per month and was a total dog - slow as hell intermittently. Moved it to AWS on a small instance running

That is stretching the definition of words into realms to which they do not belong. Force is measured in newtons.

I don't think we fundamentally disagree: HOA's exist for a good reason, for all the hate they get (and often have earned).

I loved my old Toshiba Tecra 780-DVD back in the day. I bought it used as laptop prices were falling, and got a lot of kit with it. A web cam (unheard of for its generation), DVD drive and hardware decoding (also very baller), and a docki

I sat on the board of an HOA for a small condo building where I had purchased a unit. The board was comprised of owners. The HOA was our only way of ensuring bad owners didn't abuse their ownership rights. It was an old building, so

I had to do a double take when I learned that modern cloud services still support PHP. Mentally, I put it in the same bucket as legacy ASP, which is looooong dead.

YES! I rented a Prius once, and this was my biggest complaint. That big stupid bright-ass LCD screen which smugly ruined my night blindness by trumpeting constantly how fuel efficient it was made me feel less confident driving at night. T

Cloud providers have formalized these deals actually. If you promise to spend X amount over Y period, you get Z discounts. And this is not reserved instances, this is an org level pricing deal. Some have been calling it anti-competitive a

Reliability is not even how the cloud got sold to the C Suite. Good God, when my last company started putting things on Azure back in 2015 stuff would break weekly, usually on Monday mornings. No, the value proposition was always about sav

I had this Ah-Ha moment a while back when I was presenting on how to shorten cloud outage times, by aggregating impact into a list of details, and hustling around to make connections to support engineers and their customers and the poor bac

I apply this to writing as well as coding. To keep the flow, I leave TODO: notes, and later I search for the TODO: and see what needs attention.

If you want to take a broad view of the world, we may be entering into the post-age-of-enlightenment age where truth and ethics are malleable in service of the larger powers which build the things which comprise the world.

All right, I guess I see your point. If you company doesn't handle the complexity, it can be a nightmare. Where I've worked, they withhold the necessary number of shares from RSU's and it just gets taxed as W-2 income. Then
