🔗 New #article: On Programming with Agents

> Focus on the thinking and let agents do the typing. Use the three rules to guide your workflow: plan first so you know what you're building, stay engaged so you never lose the thread, and review the output so you can stand behind what ships. The craft is the same as it's always been. We just have more time for it now.

The Aquabats were so much fun supporting Less Than Jake on the Winter Circus tour that I decided to see them again, this time headlining in a much smaller venue.

Again, it was so much fun, with the inflatables and crowd. There were plenty of young kids there, some even dressed up in full superhero outfits. One even crowd-surfed on a giant pizza. #music

My lunchtime walk was windy AF. I was nearly blown into the river and almost lost my earbuds. Strangely, the two wind turbines weren't going round… I wonder if they turn off the solar panel farm to save electricity during the day.

🔗 New #article: Personal Blogging

> Personal blogging is the antithesis of what these gamified platforms have become. Blog posts tend to be long-form, thoughtful, personal. There's no algorithm to please, no incentive to game the system or perform in a way that's not you, no draw towards outrage or controversy. It's a place you can be yourself.

🔗 New #article: Your job is to deliver code you have proven to work

> In all of the debates about the value of AI-assistance in software development there’s one depressing anecdote that I keep on seeing: the junior engineer, empowered by some class of LLM tool, who deposits giant, untested PRs on their coworkers—or open source maintainers—and expects the “code review” process to handle the rest.
