As AI apparently has the power to make my occupation and my passions truly meaningless, it ultimately has the power to free me once and for all.

I *need* more quality in my life! More attention to detail, more clever design, more love for the craft, … just generally more delight because somebody really thought something through. How to find it?

What I obviously liked most about #wwdc is the apology voucher (redeemable for Apple products) they gave us to compensate for all the extra work needed to partially roll back 26’s liquid glass and menu icons decisions 🥲 Bravo Apple, what a classy move!

The whole tech industry feels so deeply fucked up. What wouldn’t I give for having the mental and physical stamina to work a humanitarian job that actually helps people. #wwdc left me soo angry and sad.

Never EVER do I want my devices to send my friends AI stuff written in my name. #wwdc

Where‘s the vocal fry slider? #wwdc

Every time I use a LLM for coding, it *still* fails in (sometimes very) subtle ways. Every single time. I can now, in 2026, only diagnose a skill issue: either on my side – or, not much more unlikely, on everybody else’s 🫠

always has been

Online people are weird.

I just don’t get why some certain worldwide spoken language calls it "corn" when there is the beautiful, non-generic and unique word "maize" for it. Do native speakers even realize that corn simply means grain? 🤔

Surely this one very last – promise! – dopamine hit triggered by my thumb swiping that glowing glass rectangle will fix me!

If I could change one thing about the software industry, it would be adding way more quirky humor and whimsy. And I don’t mean silly meme pics in medium dot dom coding tutorials but instead more original and fresh styles like Nikita Prokopov‘s, for example.

I envy ADHD folks who seem to have a new project idea every 4 nano seconds. Maybe I should team up with them so we’ll hit a healthy middle ground together by reluctantly bringing my depressive and depressing can‘t-do-attitude into the mix?

HP DeskJet 500C.

If Structured Concurrency is the equivalent of Auto Layout, which many people also found quite a bit too hard to grasp, then what will be the equivalent of the liberating (or scary) paradigm shift that was SwiftUI?

When it comes to software development, I‘m all about care and quality. LLMs are not. Maybe it’s as simple as that.

Isn't it kinda silly of mathematicians that they don't like to participate in lotteries? I mean, how unlikely would it be that *only* statisticians, of all people, shouldn't be able to win? If they knew anything about their profession, they should know better :P

Whenever I read 'tackle', I just read 'tickle' instead and everything makes a lot more sense. Gotta tickle the upcoming work week, folks!

Because I can never tell if it is a mental health issue or a current state of the world issue I decided to abandon the concept of 'worrying' altogether.

The fact that I completely loose faith in humanity every few days implies that it somehow gets restored in between?

I know it's silly to pick on colloquialisms, but whenever I read the phrase "that's how I roll" I just can't help wondering where to? And tf why?!

Because you‘re fairly intelligent it should be clear to you by now that you‘re skimming another useless shit post at the moment yet you can’t stop reading it haha no honestly what’s wrong with you

Parents shouldn’t die. Having kids should make one immortal for them.

I would love to be a pleasant and chill old bear who throws the occasional garden party for his forest friends with lampoons and stuff.

You gotta admire Vermeer‘s confidence in his mastery – He even leaked the prompt he used. #AI

With every additional degree of heat I lose another ten IQ points. I‘m looking forward to being the happiest person in the world.

We’ve managed to come up with and master the idea of infusing liquids with carbon dioxide and in the process invented „fun drinks“ – I’m asking you: Is there anything at all mankind cannot achieve?!

When was the last time you tapped this thing

Nothing brings me grief more reliably than pondering the brevity of life. I *so* much want to carpe the effin’ diem out of it that in result I stagnate completely, because nothing is important enough to start right away and everything is just a sad, grotesque waste of time.

Some of you seem to never sleep.

How can #AI assist me with not having to read about it every. single. day.
