Entering week 7 of waiting on the DMV to correct the single missing 0 on the
title of the motorcycle I’m buying. An entire government agency stumped by a
single digit.
After reading Thomas Ptacek’s My AI Skeptic Friends Are All
Nuts, I figured it was time to give the
ol’ “vibe coding” a try. I spent a couple hours just goofing around with
Zed’s offering. While it’s impressive at times (e.g., it was dropping
debug statements like it knew what was up), it pretty quickly painted itself into a corner. Maybe there’s a better
order of operations for “prompt engineering” that would’ve avoided this
outcome? I’m not sure. My belief remains: it was neat to watch, but I
probably wouldn’t choose to build software this way today.
Played pickleball on Thursday. Played some doubles with a random older couple
we bumped into there. They completely dusted us, 11-0. Very humbling!
Some schmuck has been digging up / stealing plants from the community garden
I’ve been volunteering at. Going to help the owner get a security camera
system up and running this week, hopefully. Imagine getting caught on tape
committing plant theft.
Started the limoncello steepin’ process, so we’ll be properly ready for
Mugello GP in a couple weeks.
Cruised out to Ashland to check out their strawberry festival. I hadn’t been
to Ashland since college. Forgot what a cute little town it is, and the
strawberry fest was a surprisingly big event.
I finally pulled up the lone carrot that’s been growing in our garden, and it
looks like one of the space carrots from that one Bugs Bunny
cartoon.
Still waiting on some full-throated Happy Gilmore style
apologies from the very
“moderate” Trump experts who confidently assured me none of what’s now
happening would happen. Should be coming any moment now. I’m
holding my breath in anticipation!
