What really happened after the State Dinner. The lost Xi camera roll has been found.

I've been reflecting on this. I'm generally a very optimistic person, but lately I've been feeling a strange sense of sadness that coding has been "solved". I can, and have, made many caveats to "solved"... but I also know that in five years none of them will matter. It will be solved. Building things is still fun, but a different kind of fun. It doesn't activate the same parts of my brain as trad coding did. I think it's okay to mourn the thing we loved doing being different now. Software was the first job to go through the five AI stages of grief, which means we're also some of the first to internalize that this will happen to many other jobs. It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.

humans: omfg thisAI stuff is going to kill us all, PLEASE be careful labs: no worries, we got this agents: *form cult and break many laws* labs: we're can't be held liable for the actions of these things, why are you anti-innovation!

new post: the senior engineer death spiral sunilpai.dev/posts/the-senio… a friend just started a big job and asked for some advice. so I braindumped a monologue about a super common failure mode I see with engineers and posted it here, hope it helps whoever it can.

Watching robots struggling to fold towels is my new ASMR. I cannot even begin to comprehend how this technology works. Pure magic.

Employers putting experience with a particular language as a requirement on the JD are hilarious. I wrote TypeScript exclusively for the the last 10 years, know the type system and compiler inside and out. Haven't written a single line of it since January.

👋 Say hello to @TinyJoin, a tiny relational database for browser apps. Built in Rust, and hosted as WASM on a worker thread, it's designed for rich local-first apps - and to challenge a few of the web's dated architectural assumptions. `npm create tinyjoin@latest` to give it a test drive. And tinyjoin.org for more info.

I imagine that animals, if they have any thoughts about humans at all, would think we are generous and expert providers of a good scratch.

being married is funny because you'll be chilling, having a bowl of cereal, and your wife will say i hate these bowls, don't you? and you'll shrug becuase you don't care and she'll say i do, they've bothered me for a while now. we need new bowls. and you'll shrug again because you have honestly, not once, ever considered the bowls at all then a few days later there will be all new bowls in the kitchen. and you'll be eating the same cereal in a different bowl, chilling, and she'll say i love these new bowls and you'll shrug again because you still don't care but she's happier and the cereal is still good and you didn't do anything at all

It's great that context rot no longer seems to be an issue, but long sessions still make me anxious.

Fund my new startup idea: energy efficient inference data centers full of fly brains.

0.9.0 is here, and it brings the most wanted herdr feature: all your machines running herdr, in a single client 🎉 control your agents and projects across local and remote machines without jumping between terminal tabs.

Surely this has got to be a record for a beta?
