  2. Good news, songwriters! AI will not be replacing you yet. cc @illuminatihotts
    Screenshot from a chat conversation with ChatGPT. Input: "Write me a song about my black cat Todd as if it was written by the Illuminati Hotties" Output: " Verse 1: Meet Todd, our black cat He's the ruler of our flat With his sleek fur and glowing eyes He's a sight to behold, oh my! Chorus: Todd, oh Todd You're the king of our domain With your aloof and dignified air You make us feel like we're insane Verse 2: You saunter around the house With your tail held high You own every room you enter We're just lucky to be by your side Bridge: But don't let your regal demeanor Fool you into thinking we're not equal We're part of the Illuminati Hotties And together, we're unstoppable Chorus: Todd, oh Todd You're the king of our domain With your aloof and dignified air You make us feel like we're insane. "Screenshot from a conversation with ChatGPT. Input: "That's great, but could you make it more tenderpunk?" Output: " Verse 1: Meet Todd, our black cat He's the softest thing we've ever had With his fluffy fur and gentle purr He's the sweetest boy, for sure Chorus: Todd, oh Todd You're the light of our lives With your snuggles and headbutts You make everything alright Verse 2: You curl up on our laps And melt our hearts with your touch We could stare at you for hours And never get enough Bridge: But don't let your tenderness Fool you into thinking we're not tough We're part of the tenderpunk crew And together, we can't be buffed Chorus: Todd, oh Todd You're the light of our lives With your snuggles and headbutts You make everything alright. "

  3. One of my favorite things about software development is taking big problems and breaking them down into smaller ones. I've never had as fine an example of this as a project I recently finished working on, so I wrote about it: stevenhicks.me/blog/2022/11/breaking-problems-down-a-case-study/

  4. 99% sure I scheduled a tweet for this morning, and it didn't show up, so I think that's one of the robots that guy unplugged.

  5. We must be approaching winter, cuz I wrote an article (1st one since May!): stevenhicks.me/blog/2022/11/automating-pull-requests/ TL;DR I had a bunch of repetitive PRs to open. Rather than suffer like a cave person I automated as much as I could. Along the way I learned more about sed and the GitHub CLI.

  8. Working in isolation is fun because you get to move fast But then you want to do something really dumb, and there's no one around to tell you that it's really dumb, so you end up doing it and IMMEDIATELY realizing how dumb it was.

  10. I'm still not sure if I'll be abandoning this place, but I scooped up @pepopowitz@hachyderm.io. For a bit I'll be spending a little more time there and a little less time here. Regardless, I'll keep this page updated: stevenhicks.me/where/

  11. You would be a *teammate* of mine, if that's something that interests you. Like we could hang out and pair program and stuff. @MissAmaraKay/1588594247707475968

  12. Luke warm take (maybe room temperature): Virtual tech conferences failed because speakers talking at audiences is an entirely bad format. In-person tech conferences succeed *despite* speakers talking at audiences, because the conversations and connection carry it.

  14. My keyboard was dropping keystrokes. I tried two new pair of batteries. No luck. If it's not batteries, it means something is interfering. I walked around unplugging things. It was my dehumidifier, in the "full bucket" state. I emptied the bucket. My keyboard works now.

  15. Why did the developer spend their day learning how to run a static website (plus .htaccess) through apache via docker? BECAUSE THEIR REWRITE RULE WAS MISSING A LEADING SLASH. Not a joke, just my life. 😭😭😭😭

  3. I don't know who needs to hear this, but... You have an identity that you chose for yourself years ago, and it's not serving you anymore. It's okay to let that identity go, and choose a new one. You don't have to be the stories you've been telling yourself.
