  • The integration of AI into regular, deterministic software bothers me a lot. As a developer, I want my IDE to be consistent so I can feel comfortable that autocompletion and other functions do what I expect. But recently, and at an accelerating rate, I find the IDE to make inconsistent autocompletions - often suggesting a lot more code, which often contains errors and non-existant references.

    I could use AI every now and then for work, but I wish it only helped when I’m explicit about it. Currently, it kills workflow and sucks out energy both from me and the grid.





  • I really don’t like these. It’s binary for each digit, so it’s really just a bad proxy for decimal numbers rather than being clean binary numbers. If it were roman numerals, I feel like it would be equally silly to separate the numbers this way: 15:39 -> I, V : III, IX.

    I understand that it makes it hard to read if the binary numbers go high, but that’s why we don’t use them like this.












  • Magic: The Gathering - Arena, but in a different sense. I have played it a decent amount ever since I moved away from the city and have been unable to play with people over the table. I learned that it wasn’t really the game itself which made me interested in Magic, but the interactions with people.

    I have since quit the game and haven’t really paid attention to its direction since.
