Don't trust code that you have not vibe coded yourself.

When working with an agent, will you put requirements and stories into Jira?

Graphical user interfaces were a detour. vt100 is all you need #llms

Is it time for comment-free code? And then an IDE adding them dynamically following your favorite style on-the-fly?

Every time again, car rental must be disrupted. Looking at you @TeamEuropcar_en. If you want to experience (IT) processes of the 80ies, this is the place.

"Did I leave the agent coding in yolo mode?" is the new "Did I switch the stove off?"

Wow, @twintapp in 🇨🇭 is so incredibly 2002. Prepaid payment where prepaid means to put money on your mobile by buying credit at @coop_ch shops, at least for us non-Swiss visitors without Swiss bank account. Telefonkarten Vibes.

Added custom subresources to CRDs in our internal kube code based generic control plane: 194 lines of code. One day of work 😎

AI creates PR (on my machine). I review. Can I approve? What does the Github/lab netiquette say?

After a little operational hickup where the app got deleted and GitOps eventually recreated everything, OH: "I only wish that the db would have been also deleted to test backups"

just performance and memory

This costed me a day and a half:

When watching via Golang types in controller-runtime, but use unstructured when reading from the cache, you are in trouble.

Of course, 2 informers are run and they are not consistent aka events arrive and you don't see the changes in the cache.

Try to build a bridge from A to B over a deep valley. No car will be able to pass before a certain point. Not even a bicycle or human can.

The measure of progress is not the thing that can pass. The measure is not continuous. There is a point when everything comes together.

There are tasks that are not iterative. Tasks that take days or weeks or more of super focused time until you see success.

I call them Heavy Liftings.

Making them iterative with sensible intermediate steps makes them infeasible or way slower.

A pity.

We need fewer lists, more visual representations in work communication. Will AI help?
