I don't know who needs to hear this but tests can be wrong, even if they are passing.
The funny thing about ADHD is that you get bombarded with coping techniques/organizational tips that are super super useful AFTER you are on meds.
I've been writing daily notes/tasks in a notepad, consistently, for 7 months. I can't get things done without it now. I struggle when I forget a dose. 😵💫

This has been my experience getting back on meds and working through 25+ years of unmedicated ADHD.
One of the challenges since I got my ADHD diagnosis is that I can't really tell if the issues I observe now are the same as they've always been, or if they're actually worse and I just don't have a good frame of reference. I forget things all the time now. But maybe I always have.

If we've met before, I definitely remember your face. But I almost certainly don't remember your name. And I 100% don't remember how we know each other. So you're gonna have to help me out.

I know I've reached this point when the number of tabs just says ":D"
I don't have "too many tabs open." My tabs are flourishing. Healthy. Bountiful. The ecosystem is thriving.

The number 1 lesson I got growing up autistic was be someone else, be almost anyone else. And yet here I am as an adult fairly consistently being rewarded for being myself now that I have found a less hellish dimension of reality to occupy

Finally got the last approval for this PR. It feels appropriate to deploy this on a Friday.
When left to my own devices I will try to fix random flaky tests 😅

So I can totally see why someone would charge $20-$50 for this app. I probably will buy one of the few out there BUT I'm still working on this 😅
This would actually be killer as a VST... 😵💫

I have a new project to work on 🤩 I'm working on a Rust crate for editing parameters for the Roland JDXI synth. Those parameters are buried in menus on the actual synth.
Yes there are several JDXI editors at this point. Many of them paid (deservingly so) but this is really more for fun than utility

I have a technique I call incompetence-based-mutation-testing.
Start making some changes. Bork everything, comment out half the existing code to just make stuff compile. Run tests. Watch tests pass.
Stop refactoring, go have a stern word with the tests.

Building Rube Goldberg Machines...can easily become hard to maintain, thereby reducing or eliminating the value we intended. As in all situations, we must ensure we get value from our efforts, lest we inadvertently create our own version of Mouse Trap.

The thing about LLMs hallucinating is that next tokens are influenced by the tokens previously generated in current response.
It's like when someone lies. Each lie compounds making harder and harder to form a coherent/accurate response. Just replace lie with hallucinate. 🤷♂️

Our VP of DevRel, Christian Heilmann, says that deleting code is more important - and more fun - than actually writing it.

Code coverage improvements: before and after 🎉
Lots of low hanging fruit e.g. invalid op codes, mapping errors to diagnostics, popping off an empty stack, removing unused code even.
