Tell me the truth... I'm.. I'm ready to hear it.

I wanted to add `rust-toolchain.toml` to ONE toy project. I'm now heading into hour 3 of yak shaving my Nix config and compiling god-knows-what from scratch.

@catsalad I'm not actually in security. I'm a forklift operator and post dumb shit between deliveries.

Sure, I was assigned a gender at birth. I also got assigned homework at school but I didn't do that either.

That's why you iterate. I have no idea what the implementation will look like, so I start with some test. Often a guiding test. It teaches me about the API I might want. As I expand the code and tests I rearrange it all frequently as I learn.

Type driven development is also cool but I think mostly complementary to tests.

@jonn @faassen And how do you know you need those types?

LLMs are a near-perfect rentier technology. The cost of training them to the point where they're even marginally useful is so prohibitive that only people with very deep pockets can do it. The goal then is to make us all reliant on them, by shoehorning them into as many products as possible.

And it doesn't matter whether or not we actually need them if products won't work without them.

Wow. I follow news about Free and open source software quite a bit – but where do I learn that a movie made with @Blender actually won a freaking Golden Globe!?

Congratulations to the creators of the movie Flow – and to all contributors to Blender throughout the years, who made this possible! What an achievement!

Here's an interview with the director, with focus on the use of Blender https://www.fastcompany.com/91232740/flow-movie-turned-a-4-million-budget-into-an-animated-work-of-art
