Inside every developer there are two wolves.
One wolf worries about cache invalidation.
The other wolf ponders deeply about the naming of things.
The third wolf makes off-by-one errors.

Being rather frustrated with programming Clojure in IntelliJ, (mainly because Cursive and IdeaVim don't like each other) I tried to set up Neovim with the Conjure plugin and it 's an absolute blast to use the REPL with it.
Also I discovered that there is a Lisp on top of Lua called Fennel, which I'm looking forward to play with

The Pathfinder 2E character sheet continues. The current "components" are all now linked to actual character sheet data. The skill functions all do what they're supposed to including some interesting edge cases. The ability scores can be edited, and the sheet auto-updates which took longer than it should have. I'm still not a fan of JavaScript/Vue though.

So, making slow progress as I learn `rust` things. Instead of going with my usual `union`/`struct` combination in C, I'm resorting to not overflowing/underflowing primitive types and doing things more safely. This snippet of code took far longer than it should've, but it gets the job done.

It's not a language or a framework that I ever use, but I think that "don't be too clever" is one of the most important rules that every software developer should abide by.

Shower thought: Algebraic effects are isomorphic to checked Aspect Oriented Programming, in the same way that checked exceptions are isomorphic to a Result Type.

The lovely thing about Clojure (or any LISP for that matter) is that you start with

step 1: learning its data structures,
then you proceed to
step 2: learning the syntax, which you've already done in step 1

How do you pronounce char?
Do you say car?
Do you say care - since it is the beginning of the word character?
or do you say it like the beginning of the word charcoal?

The amount of pointless, useless, overly-complex indirection I see in so many well-established, popular projects makes me very sad.

A coding problem that sounded simple, but to implement it with good performance was quite a challenge::
Given a number n, find the next number m where m > n, with m containing the same digits as n
So given 12 this would be 21
113 -> 131
534987 -> 537489
111 -> no solution, -1, error or whatever
EDIT: changed the solution of example for 534987

You know what's the difference between a human programmer and an "#AI coding assistant"?
Sure, human programmers make mistakes. And rookies often make "worse" mistakes than an #LLM can come up with. However, the difference is that humans can actually learn. Teaching them comes with a payoff; not always and not necessarily for your project, but there's a good chance that they'll become better programmers and contribute back to the community.
Sure, human programmers sometimes plagiarize. And of course they need to look at some code while they learn. However, they actually can think on their own and come up with something original. And they can learn that plagiarism is wrong.
And most importantly, usually they don't lie if they don't have to, and there are limits to their smugness. You can build a healthy community with them.
You can't build a community with unethical bullshit-spitting machines.

#Copilot "Think Deeper" mode is much more useful than Quick Response. For coding, it has a "Senior Dev" posture (even alludes to it) including saying "ping if you've a question" and talking vague, defensive BS in circles.
That's a ✅ on ego and mumbo-jumbo parts of senior dev.
