If you've ever drawn any illustrations, you probably know that the artists often recommend to flip the piece you are working on to reset your mental state so you can notice mistakes you weren't noticing while working on it. Debuggers have similar effect I think.

I like em dashes, and I hate that some people now take them as evidence of text being AI generated.

Better than an Alamo and almost as good as propane. An all new season of #KingOfTheHill drops Aug 4th on Hulu and with #HuluOnDisneyPlus.

If we're being honest, British English absolutely cooked with the pronunciations of 'aluminum' and 'laboratory.'

how come nobody is talking about how much shittier eng on-calls are thanks to blind integrations of AI-generated code? LLMs are great coders but horrible engineers. no, the solution is not “prompt the LLM to write more documentation and tests” (cont.)

FUN FACT: Did you know the creator of two of the most famous maps in video games (de_dust) and (de_dust2) was a 15 year old kid named Dave Johnston who programmed them after school on his computer? He ended up selling the rights to Valve and the rest is Counter-Strike history.

People do not realize the level of complexity software developers have to deal with. We have pushed the limits of the textual languages to contain this complexity long time ago, but any other representation is just somehow worse at that.
