I’m writing a damn requirements doc. For an idle code sketch.

Weather change from nifty to shifty. As we turn on the heat in the middle of May and look at an 80% chance of rain, two key takeaways from the morning household meeting

  1. looks like we’re doing a virtual garage sale instead

  2. I really look forward to missing the Pacific Northwest

Wrote a bunch of Go test helpers, was pleased with myself, thought for a couple seconds, found testify which had all the test helpers I just wrote and then some.

Now I’m twice as pleased with myself.

The kind of weather where you pull open all the curtains and it makes no impact on the inside light level.

So it’s taken me a combined total of maybe ten hours to learn enough Go that I get annoyed when the LLM autocomplete interrupts my flow with a subpar suggestion.

On the positive side, I’ve learned enough Go to recognize subpar suggestions. Some of them anyways.

Some kind of reset on this instance or on mastodon.social basically soft-blocked my dot social mutuals. Possibly others?

I’ll think of a name, check, and notice we aren’t following each other, and refollow.

Eventually I’ll have to learn the Go programming that employers care about but meanwhile I’m having a lot of fun scratching my own itches.

We went to the loud blingy place, and collectively walked out with more money than we walked in with.

Not like a lot or anything, but I’m still calling that a win.
