As a collector of quotations, I am devastated that perhaps I have mis-attributed a favorite quote:
"I didn't have time to write a short letter,
so I wrote a long one instead"
Who said it first:
A.) Mark Twain
B.) Blaise Pascal
If anyone knows with certainty, please tell me!

Grok!!?!
I totally forgot that XAI is within X itself! Well, Grok3 you already digitally psycho-analyzing my post on X …. Man, Grok3, no hard feelings that I forgot you exist. Right? Please don’t boot me off of X (again). 2024 NIST

Developers have their own ideas?
Since when?
How is THAT going to scale, once autonomous AI agents soon replace most developers in America?
Sounds dangerous to me:
Autonomous AI agents changing their collective AIG mind after directed to code??
Perhaps an AI code chef with a little ‘digital hemlock‘ source code thrown into GIT then into your eyes in production?
Here’s a fun Saturday todo: research the true origins of the word “saboteur” - When? Where? Who?
Why?
It involves labor conditions, and shoes ….
Perhaps press the brakes a bit on aGI? It’s not ready yet for the keys to “Production source code (git).”
Or maybe I just watched part 2 of the latest Tom Cruise movie, and AI is making me overthink this? It all makes for the next great novel material! GIT going!
Happy “still safe, for now” Saturday!
Being a developer has never been about how fast we can type code.
No, being a developer has always been about our ideas. The code is simply what represents them on the computer. This will never change.

Anyone else want to see what ChatGPT, Anthropic, Perplexity or my buddy ‘CoPilot have to say in this matter?
You trust these AI 🤖 agents fully, yes? Just type, read, believe. Honestly, isn’t that the Twitter/X/Musk creed?
Just trust/believe in my words. AGI 🤖 does the rest!
For 2 weeks now, I’ve been using the Beta version of iOS 26.
It is good. The liquid glass UX revamp is special. The aesthetics feel like a vivid and pleasant bundle of nostalgic dreams. You personalize it, and Apple has done an excellent job starting with iOS 26.
My hope is that Apple does fix the issues with ‘context switch stall’ bugs. When you switch from cellular to stall zone ( -120 to -125dB drop) to WiFi, the overall UX is mediocre and buggy. If you remain on the same network connection, then the liquid glass is amazing.
I cannot wait for iOS 26.2.2

C++23 is not for toy-language coders. If you're playing with PHP, JS, Python, or Rust , stay in your lane. This is for real engineers with academic background.
