“Software engineering as entertainment” is the best single concept I have heard to explain the weird state web dev is in these days

Tools like Claude Code and QCLI are the best agentic solution I have seen so far, but they are still not good enough, so making my own thing #llm #agentic #ai

I find if u work with it to write design docs, arch docs, task plans, then write code, Claude sonnet 3.7 writes pretty maintainable code

So now I am asking questions like "what does good writing look like?" and trying to relearn grammar and writing style again. All so I can prompt an LLM to write blogs properly.

Gary Jennings @garyjennings.bsky.social · Mar 30

Ive generated a few blogs now with LLMs. Its really good at technical blogs, where I only care about instruction. But when I ask it to turn a personal note into a blog, its terrible in interesting ways. Its very cliche, very mediocre, and it somehow removes anything interesting and makes it flat

The other use case is to make a blog about a topic already know a lot about, but I just want it articulated well and concisely. I just need the resource so I can reference it in the future.

Gary Jennings @garyjennings.bsky.social · Mar 28

And im not going to care about "getting caught" or someone "realizing its LLM generated". I dont really care about being a blogger, I dont find my identity in blogging. I just want these blogs to exist so I can read them.

Gary Jennings @garyjennings.bsky.social · Mar 28

I would start by writing out some thoughts in broken sentences, and ask it research the topic, answer my questions, reflect my take on the topic, and it generates a blog that I personally want to read and find useful. Its crazy. So I might just do that, generate blogs.

Gary Jennings @garyjennings.bsky.social · Mar 28

So... I have been trying out agentic coding (sonnet 3.7 + local tools), and its pretty mind blowing. Last night I remade my website, make a script that takes md files and generates blog pages, includes bsky comments, has dark light mode. Then I had it generate some blog entries.

Got any tips for cloud? As far as I can tell, Canada is in the dark ages and the only competitive thing Canadian companies can do is build on AWS

Gary Jennings @garyjennings.bsky.social · Feb 9

It’s shocking how little there is in Canada for modern cloud. I can’t find anything
