low key a little pissed that LLMs ruined the em dash in writing

the em dash was central to my writing voice and I'm struggling to dance around it and keep my flow

nobody cares if LLMs produce poor code quality

code quality is not a KPI, OKR, SMART goal, CSF, or CPI. it doesn't matter to corpos.

when poor code quality reaches criticality, business systems can fail. So let them eat cake.

well this is surprising

apparently someone is impersonating me on
@discord.com
?

my discord username is "janetacarr" ( formerly janetacarr#0930)

photo sent by a viewer (note the _ in the impersonator's username). careful out there

each year i become more convinced that professional software development deliberately perverts the enjoyment of programming

and it doesn't have to be this way
