had that moment when I did "npm install" and it found 0 vulnerabilities and I'm like... that never happens!

Installing Visual Studio 2026 to see what all the buzz is about. Planning to migrate my project data web api from .NET 9 to 10, along with the new ide.

Started the official rewrite of the Sisyphus client in #golang, working on getting the Ffmpeg command-line tasks parsed and validated against the schema. This should make things easier to distribute with respect to the client as I can just distribute static binaries.

There is a derivative of Amdahl’s law that applies to this whole « vibe coding » thing. I spend maybe 5% of my time designing and writing code and 95% maintaining it. As far as I know LLMs make the former faster, which is pointless, and the latter harder and more time consuming, which is actually both bad and stupid. Go figure.

Happy National Rubber Ducky Day!
Today is the day to celebrate a programmer's best debugging tool!

Is it wrong of me to assume that if the CSS on your project's website is broken in stupid ways, your project itself is probably also broken in stupid ways?
It's at least a yellow flag, right?

Antifragile Programming and Why AI Won’t Steal Your Job
Whenever I say I dislike debugging and organize my programming habits around avoiding it, there is always pushback: “You must not use a good debugger.” To summarize my view: I want my software to be antifragile (credit to Nassim Taleb for the concept). The longer I work on a codebase, the easier it should become … Continue reading Antifragile Programming and Why AI Won’t Steal Your Job

What's a good short name for a program that (1) syncs files and (2) runs builds?

Code is not always a liability. Code does have value. The value of code is measured by how much other code doesn't need to exist as a result.

When #teaching #Rstats / #statistics courses, I (and several colleagues of mine) made the experience that it is indeed pretty hard for a lot of students to cope with the file system on their computer. They have questions like: How do I know the "path" of a file? How do I control in which directory something is saved? WHY DO I NEED THIS?!?
I don't want to make fun of these students because I know that this could be because operating systems are increasingly obscuring file/directory systems from their users.
But if I want to teach students to use a scripting/ #programming language independently, that's a real problem!
So my questions to you are: Do you have the same impression when teaching? And if so: How do you deal with this from a teaching perspective? To be honest, I don't want to use precious course time to teach the absolute basics of computers' file systems in the first session(s).

My hobby: creating PRs to open source projects with ‘printf(“here! Line: xyz”);’ after every line.
Because those messages are so helpful. #programming

Oh wild! Full circle moment today when I found out #jellyfin uses PlaylistsNET, a library I contributed to years before even hearing about Jellyfin 🤓
#OpenSource is so cool!
