AI companies asking me to code in an interview. Didn't you already automate that?!
It's fine, it's just boring. (Which is why we always knew it would be automated...)
Last days of leave from work: Yellowstone! It’s just the best.
Perhaps SIFT toolbox is the answer for “how we can prevent the web from turning to slop”?
The Bay Area is a weird weird weird beautiful place.
On my way home, finally.
Miss those kiddos bad.

Day 7 off work: lovely run up middlefork snoqualmie
On the other side, Facebook made it easy for more folks to connect and good things did not happen. So yeah.
I hope that generative technologies make it easier for folks to create more new weird things. Like the software side will be more malleable and approachable and so maybe a lower barrier to entry will help good things happen.
That was a fun read!
Then tried some gardening and managed to get stuck by a bee. Was a rough day.
Day 2 of leave from work: nice sunny day, kiddo still sick, but I just got a nice run in at Bridle Trails.
At least that one demo I built does better:

Also seems like a good number of the recipes directly link to product pages. So I dunno, this isn’t the ai slop I worry about. Also for recipe pages, blissfully few ads
I wouldn’t say those recipes are the majority of the site? They took me a hot minute to even find and the rest of the site seems reasonable at a quick glance
Iterating on a product idea with a LLM, it says:
"Section 3, while powerful, requires solving some very hard AI and information retrieval problems reliably and neutrally. Iterative development and user testing will be crucial."
Oh, but that is why I am here!
Spring ski is the best ski
Though I just realized I forgot oldest kids ski pants back in Seattle…

I’m going to need a fact check
Rain to match my mood, at least.
Ah, ok, that makes total sense. :)
This toolkit is amazing btw, I love it.
Did something go wrong here? I can’t tell if you are happy with the output or not
I’ve been pondering something like a chrome tool to analyze things that I browse, or having it also remember short summaries of what it analyzed before which it could cross reference
