This perfectly encapsulates the coding agent paradox. Agents make coding boring and formulaic. That some see a tragedy where others see a triumph exposed a disagreement over what coders want out of coding that didn't matter until now reddit.com/r/ClaudeAI/s/VDTxoeiBIh

Just realized that if the children's book Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs was localized for Japan, it could have been named, "It's Raining Men."

(Translator's Note: "men" means noodles)

Followed Ruby type systems for years. Spent a month of my life porting my meta-programming-heavy library Mocktail to Sorbet, only to realize zero tooling lift. No idea if it works, but I gotta say T-Ruby's pitch is the first that makes intuitive sense type-ruby.github.io

TIL if you want Safari to render 120fps, you need to go to Settings -> Advanced -> WebKit Feature Flags and TURN OFF "Prefer Page Rendering Updates near 60 fps". You can test it here—big difference! testufo.com/

3. SSH back in

It just dawned on me that I can write an iCloud Shortcut that taps into multiple cloud-based GPUs to perform any number of complex tasks for FREE, but I still can't define an "if-else" block. Welcome to the future, chumps.

Now that POSSE Party is properly "done", I'll be on Aaron's live stream tomorrow at 1 PM eastern / 18:00 UTC to show him how the sausage is made by… uhh, peeling back the casing, I guess? It will be gross and/or fun! youtube.com/live/YkMpfAnu6Z8

Forget five 9's of reliability—when it comes to LLMs, I'd gladly settle for just one 9. Just be correct 90% of the time. That'd be a dream.

GPT 5.2's improved visual analysis is no joke. I took 20 PDFs pertaining to our condo purchase and asked for transcriptions/translations with Codex CLI set to 5.2 (xhigh). What's been produced so far is professional-level quality and 10.5 hours in, it's still cranking on them!

We watched that racing biopic about DHH on Apple TV last night—was pretty good!

A nonzero number of people think it's called "sudo phederine" because it requires admin privileges.

The fundamental misunderstanding behind the question, "why isn't AI eliminating more jobs?" is that the clock on adoption of agents with human-replacement-level capabilities started in April 2025, not Nov 2022. And it started with coders, not paralegals or junior accountants.
