Finished the lawn mowing!
First lawn mowing of the season! Yay!!
I'm officially taking down all open source code I have written. This is to protect against LLM scrapers training their models on my work. At some point I'll publish a list of all the stuff I've built and offer folks the ability to participate and/or use it. That is, if anybody expresses interest!
Keep forgetting to report weigh ins at the doctor. The weight loss journey continues
Lifted the below quote from In the Face of Tech Kaiju:
“Large Language Models (LLMs) like ChatGPT and Grok don’t just help students write—they train the brain to disengage." Even worse, "Their neural activity remained below baseline, even after AI use was stopped."

Exercise bike at la fitness. The one in Cuyahoga Falls OH is pretty nice
Seems there was a glitch and my VM's network configuration got wiped out on Linode. That's fixed!
It is so painful.. people I respected pushing vibe coding. What happened today is a first in my career.. I removed someone as a connection on LinkedIn because they were pushing LLM coding. They promptly re-added me as a connection today. I had to accept the connection so I could message them that I don’t hate them but I hate what they are pushing so I had to remove them. Sent my email address tho in case they want to communicate. Then I removed them. Ouch.
Herein appears a new favorite pattern for defining macros that define functions that define "out params." Clever? Or madness? Time will tell...
more inside...During my walks I’m listening to a podcast exploring various magical systems including Tibetan Buddhism, Hindu Tantra, Neoplatonism, Wicca, and more. It is fascinating how much overlap there is!
Doing some ensemble programming on a personal workflow engine app. Checklists on steroids mostly. All server side rendering using datastar and Clojure. Having a blast!
