It’s like an episode of fucking Masterchef.

Anyone who doesn’t like LLMs hasn’t had to do mandatory training modules for their job.

Is this ironic? It feels like it might be ironic.

Having finally started using Cursor properly, this blog post has inspired me to try agents a bit more.

So far so good. I am on the road with my wife issuing orders to a posse of eager junior developers to add simple but useful features to various projects that I would never get around to.

It’s actually kind of terrifying. Not sure I’m being the company Emma hoped for while we fetch this horse.

I don’t even have my laptop with me.

My Trmnl arrived and I’m in love!

Stayed up too late last night making a dashboard for my wife’s business.

Might be a little more impressive looking if I hadn’t finished after midnight 🤦🏻‍♂️

I've used Cursor for ages, but just for much more expansive autocomplete. I've never really embraced vibe coding until today.

I'm not 100% sure it's quicker than by hand but its more fun.

Like pair programming with an enthusiastic golden retriever who is simultaneously an incredibly knowledgeable developer and a complete idiot.

It is now 11 years since I wrote my podcast catch-up service Recast. In that time I still haven’t found a podcast client that neatly handles listening to an existing podcast from the first episode. So I’ve given it its annual dust-off and upgrade and it will continue on again.

If you’re looking for something worth catching up on, I highly recommend Origin Story by Ian Dunt and Dorian Lynskey.

Went to cast my futile vote. Almost tactically voted Tory to try and keep Reform from winning but if we’re honest are they really any better? 🤷

Enjoy it, but accept that you just lost it.

I’m listening to @siracusa compare LLM vibe-coding to 4GLs on @atpfm

Hard to believe 4GLs were going to be the next big thing. My (admittedly very bad) university course was filled with 4GL and CASE talk. I think the only thing I learned at uni that I still use today is SQL. Everything else was a future that never came or already on the way to being the past.

I don’t have favourite children but if I did, this is the kind of behaviour that would get you bonus points.
