I set tabs to be 3 spaces, so I can relatively easily detect if we have source code with mixed-up spaces vs tabs.
Yesterday, I pulled my back.
It took one week and one day without long COVID symptoms from last Friday until today, Saturday. Chest pain is starting now.
My sense of smell is slowly returning. Initially, I lost my sense of smell due to COVID, and subsequently, long COVID. I thought it was not a big deal, mostly I missed the smell of coffee, but it’s nice to be able to smell familiar smells of the house when I return home, or the c…
Developers love to latch onto the latest “magic bullet” solutions—object-oriented programming, functional programming, data-driven techniques, design patterns, test-driven development, continuous integration, continuous deployment, memory safety, rapid development, extreme prog…
I asked ChatGPT to generate a productivity mantra based on the Sith Code:
“Tasks are a lie.”
Challenge their necessity; reject pointless obligation.“If you can avoid a task, avoid it.”
Value your time and energy as precious resources.**“If avoi…
I wish I could quit. Can someone hire me? I am so frustrated with SVN; simple things like getting the three dots diff between branches turn into impossible tasks.
I don’t use perfect forwarding often and always forget to put Args std::forward<Args>(args)... Just a reminder for the future me.
template<typename T, typename... Args>
std::unique_ptr<T> make_unique(Args&&... args)
{
return std::unique_ptr<T>(

DejaVu Sans Mono is the best mono font. I periodically try to jump from it, but I cannot find a better font.
After $260, the washing machine is fixed.
I need to slow down, just record ideas and focus on my game.
With AI-assisted code, I’ve been wondering what’s more optimal and also more enjoyable. On one hand, it feels great when AI generates code that, with just a couple of tweaks, works well enough for me to start iterating. But it often misses edge cases, which can lead to a lot of f…
The washing machine broke. 😦
Note: alpha = opacity; 1 is equivalent to full opacity, 0 is fully transparent.
All happy families are alike; each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way. – Leo Tolstoy
I always wanted to be happy my way, but maybe Leo is right.
Found on YouTube a good tune; I thought that song was a banger. I checked it out, and it had 50 views. Wait a minute; no way. I got a bit suspicious; somebody just reposted the song, and the official version has 500,000 views. For a moment, I thought I found a diamond in the roug…
OMG! Sony! How come X is accept and O is cancel?!
I asked ChatGPT to create a program that can generate automated podcasts, and it wrote it in Python. It worked for a while, but now I’m getting a bit irritated. Of course, the program wasn’t perfect from the first run, and ChatGPT handled the big changes well.
However, for sma…
Working with o1 preview is like working with an intern who knows all languages in the world, but has 0 experience in software engineering. I have to be very explicit with my intent.
It took a whole day trying to piece things together, essentially re-onboarding without the help from others; I was embarrassed to ask for help a second time. I probably should admit that I remember nothing, and I need help.
SVN checkout takes so much time; how come this old technology is still alive when Git is everywhere?
Some YOASOBI songs sound like K-Pop, for example ‘Biri-Biri’ 🤔
I have a hard time recalling relatively recent events, such as those from 2-3 months ago. I was onboarded to one of the projects and spent about 3 weeks playing around with it, and then I got sidetracked to another project. Now I’m trying to get back, but I have no memory of anyt…
It is fascinating how software development has changed with the current state of AI. I had an idea for an automated podcast, and after about four hours, it is completely functional.
I have an idea for a fully automated podcast. I’m trying to get into podcasting and realizing it requires a lot of work. I need to schedule time, then edit, which takes about 5 hours to edit a 1-hour podcast.
What if I write a program that generates a podcast based on my microb…
