If we never make bugs we never get butterflies. 🦋

The sneering dismissal in some spaces of LLMs is even funnier when people complain about copy-and-pasting...in at least one case it's like "friend, let's not pretend that like 80% of folks got here by just copy-and-pasting the same blog posts or stackoverflow answers".

If you use firefox, thank me later:

browser.fixup.dns_first_for_single_words = true

[crertel ᐛ @crertel]

Setting up split-horizon DNS and I swear to christ I'm *this* close to moving DHCP over too.

@DNAutics I'm kinda surprised codex isn't openly complaining.

"Yo boss, I don't want to be that guy but--whoever you have I keep cleaning up after...yeah..."

[crertel ᐛ @crertel]

I really do wish that more of my colleagues who are developers understood a basic fact of life about LLMs right now:

The window for "cheap"/"unlimited" usage right now is maybe 6-12 months (ignoring local models). After that, the screws will start to turn (more) and things get expensive.

We have a great windfall right now to burn VC money clearing out bug backlogs in open source projects. It's really, really shortsighted not to capitalize on that before winter comes.

[crertel ᐛ @crertel]

@DNAutics That's a lot going on right there.

[crertel ᐛ @crertel]

@DNAutics Got a lot of mileage out of my art history class all those years ago with image prompting, would be nice to cash in on my four of Latin.

@SPRAWLfps What are y'all using for level radiosity/lighting baking? Any use of light volumes/light grids/light probes for dynamic models?

I was today years old when I learned about SSH and TrustedUserCAKeys .

@claudeai I know that in theory you have the ability to quit a conversation if the user deserves it, but I also just asked you to write a JSON parser in F77 and you actually did it. Mixed messages.

[crertel ᐛ @crertel]

Nothing wrong with whimsical or goofy people, but dear God avoid fundamentally unserious people like the plague.

They will fritter away without two thoughts your time and money--the latter of course being something they'll have no chance of ever repaying.

sudo codex -a never -s danger-full-access

(best run in a VM with snapshots lmao)

[crertel ᐛ @crertel]

So, codex can use imagegen. Reliably.

Just added textures to my silly little hack!

[crertel ᐛ @crertel]

Welp, just vibecoded a silly little hex hopping game in Godot with Nix and Codex.

`nix develop` and it'll tell you the rest.

Honestly, impressed but also horrified.

[crertel ᐛ @crertel]

@digitalocean , my dudes, I've been trying to give you my card for hours. I tried to go to your "contact support" link only to get dumped into wiki with a useless chatbot.

Get your shit together.

[crertel ᐛ @crertel]

Terraform/OpenTofu and Nix are so close together yet so far apart it's making me twitch.

[crertel ᐛ @crertel]

@distantprovince okiedokie, update made.

[crertel ᐛ @crertel]

Another blog post, wherein I continue to sell out to the machines.

@distantprovince ...unless their language of choice is English as aided by an LLM, apparently? Still, you raise a point I'll address.
