Dave Smith

Sometimes I write code. Sometimes I run. When I’m doing one of those I’m thinking about the other. I'm Dave Smith @davesmith.dev 🦋

@thorstenball Joe’s pizza near broadway is solid

@BullandBaird Are treasuries callable? Is this even possible?

[Dave Smith @SmithCommaDave]

@EddyVinckk Sorry to hear this. I had a front row seat when you presented your Blog Recorder experience at THAT conference. I was impressed by your story and still think about it

[Dave Smith @SmithCommaDave]

@thorstenball I used to think writing code was a bottleneck for only the slowest typers. I never imagined 500 lines in less than a couple of minutes
The next bottleneck is reviewing, or understanding nuance in the code (humans still need to know)

@Dave_DotNet To be fair, VS went years without meaningful improvements until Rider came along. They are still playing catchup

@aidstationfireb All hail the queen

@whiskeywebfm All but num 3. CSS is great, I will die on that hill

Getting good at screen scraping is never a skill I wanted.

Related, I now have a good understanding of how web browsers work.

Also, I can’t believe web browsers actually work.

@MattJamesBoyle That would explain why some people might think LLMs generate garbage. I’ve been working greenfield lately and have had success

[Dave Smith @SmithCommaDave]

@MattJamesBoyle @WisprFlow I’ve been looking for something like this to help get over writers block. What do you use it for?

[Dave Smith @SmithCommaDave]

@MelkeyDev Not even the craziest part of the language

[Dave Smith @SmithCommaDave]

@MattJamesBoyle Also happy to put an end to the debate. There are better things to debate

[Dave Smith @SmithCommaDave]

@MattJamesBoyle I think it’s great. Back when I first learned programming I thought exceptions were weird. When I learned Go, I welcomed the error handling

[Dave Smith @SmithCommaDave]

@MelkeyDev I think this already happened in Total Recall

[Dave Smith @SmithCommaDave]

Update: Wasn’t pretty with the warm temps, but am one year away from my 10th finish at this race

[Dave Smith @SmithCommaDave]

10 years ago today I ran my first ultramarathon, Ice Age 50 mile in Wisconsin. Tomorrow I will be going for my 9th finish there.

In the picture I’m saying I would never do that again. I have to learn to make better life choices

[Dave Smith @SmithCommaDave]

@MelkeyDev You only pay when you make. Congrats

[Dave Smith @SmithCommaDave]

@MattJamesBoyle @levelsio I don’t understand the jQuery hate.

Dude wouldn’t complain if he had good ideas and people gave him money

[Dave Smith @SmithCommaDave]

@AstraKernel Preach. Curiosity and being good at learning are solid career skills. And fun 🤩
