Hello Austin 👋

Using AI dev tools? Skill issue.

Just recently tried T3.chat, I'm blown away at first glance just how much faster it feels over chatgpt

Bluey is just all-around a good show--I've watched some with my nieces/nephews 🙃

Don't get me wrong, AI generated code is cool and can be useful, but to entirely use these tools without understanding any of the code being created is ripe for security vulnerabilities, bugs, performance issues, and scalability problems.

Vibe coding is akin to racing a car at 120 MPH by providing directions to the driver, who has only ever seen videos of cars being driven before.

Happy New Year! 🥳 Wishing y'all a great 12 months (even with the ups and downs that'll come)

I recently purchased a new #framework laptop, here's my thoughts so far: jamesebert.dev/blog/the-fra...

A freshly unpacked Framework 16 laptop, with a cat poking out in the background for extra vibes :)

My new Framework 16 laptop is here--time to assemble and get Linux installed!

Ooh thanks for the share, this does look really cool!

Not yet having done day 10--this is amazing out of context 😆

Day 6 Sneaky
#AdventofCode

I'm pretty sure recursion is the right call here. Yes I'm still mad about it 😆

Finally caught up on AoC again, Day6 threw a wrench in my progress for a minute there 😅

I just completed "Resonant Collinearity" - Day 8 - Advent of Code 2024 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2024/day/8

Enjoyed this one a decent amount tbh

FWIW as someone who also really struggled on Day6 Pt 2, I found Day 7 to be refreshingly easy (I don't like it at all, but it wasn't that hard IMO). So maybe that can be hope inducing? 🤷‍♂️

I just completed "Bridge Repair" - Day 7 - Advent of Code 2024 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2024/day/7

Surprisingly easy! I still hate revocation though... 😆

I just completed "Guard Gallivant" - Day 6 - Advent of Code 2024 #AdventOfCode

And oh boy did I struggle with this one! This ended up being a really good reminder to take breaks (as often the answer will come, it just needs a lil time) and to regularly reevaluate the target I'm building towards

I just completed "Print Queue" - Day 5 - Advent of Code 2024 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2024/day/5

I honestly really struggled with this one. I'd be interested in seeing other people's solutions or any writeups on their approaches, so I can learn something from this particular puzzle

That'll be $5 please
