Good lord 🤦🏻‍♂️ We’re doomed.

Get ready!

I need beta testers for the new site / workflow! Reply here (I do need your github username!)

Released version 0.7.0 of dtvem - github.com/CodingWithCa... Check it out! 3 bug fixes and 5 new features - mostly around using dtvem in projects that might already be using something else by reading their config to manage the active version

Goal is to have the new site launched and registration opened on November 1 - exactly 11 days and counting. Get your ideas ready!

Tommy is racist.

Gout

Bwhahahahahahahah

Although this is somewhat inspiring a soft skills talk about communication in the agentic era…

So how exactly do I keep my children from watching a man get executed over live streaming?

I just wanna build products.

Now THIS is how you write a story. Devastating.

George Costanza would have a field day with this And if you don’t know what I’m talking about, we can no longer be friends.

Why, yes, I did spend $70 on a button up shirt because it has banjos on it.

Heyyyyyy - who has two thumbs, and three rejections from CodeMash?! THIS GUY

I think I’m going to sign up on that dinosaur social media network

Well that was unexpected.

I’ve started adding rules to keep this nonsense to a minimum, otherwise every single property, method, etc., has a paragraph of explanatory model vomit.

First banjo lesson complete! I definitely have a new hobby.

Gross.

I sure would like to report a promotion, but it's only been in progress for three months. I'm not salty, nah, not at all.

The banjo has arrived. I forgot to order picks.

The banjo has shipped!

A $50 million gift will fund Native student scholarships for the next five years and create a permanent endowment to support Indigenous students for generations.

Delivered a blessing box to a church on Wednesday evening, visited a new church this morning and agreed to build one for them ❤️

I just ordered a banjo.

"Did OpenAI build AGI?" Short answer: No. Long answer: No. Altman is a con artist and has been for his entire career (the rest of the LLM bros are too, but Altman is well known as one). Even if AGI were ever to happen, it won't be created with an LLM. Stop believing the hype and bullshit.

I love getting Teams messages like, “hey did you see that email?” 99.99% chance I did. I really don’t need a reminder it’s there.

Nothing better to get your anxiety and OCD going first thing in a Monday that seeing ALL of your teammates and immediate supervisor and business lead in meetings at the same time And you’re just, ya know, not in there Yes it could be different meetings, etc., but my brain doesn’t go there first.

Yikes - you see the permission set OpenAI (and probably Anthropic) want for these plugins?

In case you were wondering, yes, they are still actively updating this article, and I find it amazing
