  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. 😭😭😭😭

  16. if you've been thinking "I wish I could hear more of Steve's nasally voice" I have a gift for you. I recorded some conversations last winter with people about the systems that work (& don't work) for them. I'm *finally* sharing them. First episode ships in a couple weeks! @ADevExPodcast/1579834957509246976

  18. This is a great episode. Maybe it especially resonated with me because I'm having trouble starting my Monday morning 😬😅 but also it features some of my favorite people and they're very thoughtful. @ArtsyOpenSource/1575487425719062530

  19. I said this the last time I installed a garage door opener, but I mean it this time: Yes, you *can* install your own garage door opener. No, you do not *want* to.

  22. Thus begins a five day vacation to drive to Michigan and race 70.3 miles, and I'm starting it off the right way -- finding out the garage door opener is busted and needs to be replaced. Not today, Satan. Not today.

  23. Ummm this lake is connected by a large channel to the one I swim in every summer, so (a) I'll never be sleeping again and (b) open water swimming in an unknown lake this weekend is going to be terrifying 😬😰 reddit.com/r/AbsoluteUnits/comments/x5mcov/this_snapping_turtle_found_washed_up_on_the_beach

  25. Devastated to learn that contributing to one docs project, and a combined 35 stars across 40 incomplete nonsensical personal projects, does not make me a "maintainer of popular open-source repositories" 😭

  28. I can't tell if there's a specific tweet to cause this trend, but it seems like not and this is just a perfect capture of literally every conversation on Twitter.

  29. After years of supporting my wife at USA Triathlon age group nationals, I actually got to compete this year. Weather shortened the race by half, but at least I got to race. I beat my goal of "better then the bottom 10 of my age group" -- I was bottom 15 😅 just too many fasties.

  32. Help! I have a repo with a precommit hook set up via husky. It runs prettier to auto-format changes before committing. It doesn't run when a commit is made through the GitHub UI. Does anyone know if there is a way to MAKE it run for commits made via GitHub UI?

  33. Awwww poor Git, want a huggie? I hear this error message in the voice of an 8yo, arms folded, bottom lip stuck out, just SO. SICK. of losing games of "Terminal" to their sibling.

  34. I've been wearing the same bike shoes for about 15 years, so I was due for new ones. Kids bought me new ones for Father's Day, so I bought paint markers and added "stripes". Yes they're not as good as professionally custom painted shoes but I made them and I love them.

  37. Pretty sure there has to be a "law" named after someone, for when you need to open a whole new box of materials just for 1/1000th of it. I bought an extra box of flooring just in case, and that red mark is the amount of material I need out of it 🤬😅😭

  38. Can we all just agree that "dependending" is an acceptable spelling variation of "depending"? I don't know why my muscle memory spits that out every single time.

  39. Oh hey for all 8005488 times you've heard me say "to solve the problem, break it down smaller," I spent my morning getting really anxious that I couldn't solve my current problem, and finally made progress after I BROKE THE PROBLEM DOWN SMALLER. 😅😬

  40. After a full day of not losing bluetooth audio, I can say confidently that disabling "AirPlay Receiver" in the settings has fixed my last two work macbooks. Both would drop bluetooth audio for a few seconds 20 times a day, and both were fixed this way: reddit.com/r/MacOSBeta/comments/qjgqjx/i_think_ive_found_a_fix_for_the_bluetooth/
