I hate searching for things and reading the top articles today. It's either mainstream crap or LLM generated. Some of it might not be LLM generated, but it reads that way because people use these things so much they write like them now!

So I wrote a simple web form that makes it easy to restrict searches by year ranges:

https://battlepenguin.com/tech/...

It's pretty amazing, being able to use modern search engines and actually find really interesting articles that would normally be lost to time.

Bug report reads: "The fireworks bound to the Thumbstick button can be detonated too rapidly encouraging the players to abuse the function which will lead to them prematurely wearing down their hardware. We recommend applying cooldown of three seconds to mitigate that.
Even though rapidly touching the screen to detonate the fireworks works the same way, it doesn't fall under this requirement."

...the fix came in. The solution? Detonations via touching the screen have a cooldown now, while the Thumbstick button works just as it had before. Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck!!!!!!

I'm wondering if I should start looking for new work already. I've been here six months. I really miss working on Linux, I miss my previous income, and I'm so sick of working logistics. Everything at this shop is a continual dumpster fire.

They have tuition reimbursement, so I could potentially work on my MBA. But it also requires me to stay with the company for 1 year after the completion of each semester they reimburse. Might be worthwhile if I apply for a management role.

Got a new job around 6months ago. At my old job, I did controls (which was mostly logic and device drivers) and we couldn’t pay for cursor/claude so I had never really used those tools. At my new job, everyone uses them and my boss is a power user. I now only do math too which is interesting.

I hate the LLM tools. I can’t learn the math from them, and their code is shit.

I hate that I mostly write PRDs and requirements files for the LLM to do for me.

The client in the agreement asks us to be very strict about what we do, i.e. only do what's in the ticket description, the way it's detailed in the ticket description, otherwise we won't get paid.

okay..

Ticket description: "Perform database configuration analysis". We had a call where the client elaborated on what's expected from us (a full-blown DB configuration and security analysis). All good.

Ticket description: ChatGPT-generated, with all the unicode emoticons et al, bullet-pointing us what's expected. Basically, database auditing configuration analysis.

My guess is they never reviewed what ChatGPT wrote. And the service agreement is very clear and strict -- only do what's in the description. So yeah, 2 days worth of effort and I guess the result is not what they wanted, but definitely what they asked for (w/o them even bothering to read what they're asking...).

IDK, it feels like the GPT is making people too optimistic, too lazy.

excuse me why are we fighting in the middle east

originally combustion engines used distilled alcohol farmers made in their backyards... which you can make from anything that has a sugar in it

it was more efficient than gasoline

but gasoline "had won" because they undercut the price of alcohol, gasoline lobbying the government to put a tax on alcohol and the whole prohibition thing

why are we even doing green scam. alcohol making has absolutely nothing environmentally harmful on it lol. those windmills and solar panels rot and leech chemicals into the environment, and those lithium batteries are a crazy explosion and toxic cloud hazard

humans, why.

now everyone is bitching about gasoline prices and itching to uselessly go to a war instead of Canada bothering to drill up oil under our territory that could power the world's energy consumption for the next 200 years and that's just the deposits we know about and assume are finite...

I hate humans

the green scam people say ohnooo so much food is wasted at the grocery store, we must use AI to improve the logistics and never make more than the necessary food because waste is so ungreen. ok you could make it into alcohol which is a more efficient gasoline. and no need to lug an extra ton of battery weight underneath every vehicle that now has an explosion radius of 30 meters lmao

it's like we wanna die

Update: I failed at the System Design interview.
Major facepalm as this was supposedly my wheelhouse, but I guess I underperformed.

This was step 3 of 5. You know the drill.

It took like 4 days to hear back from them, so I think it was not an immediate "NO" but a no still.

It hurts, because I was supposed to ace this, not fail. I was counting on me. So I kinda let myself down this time.

They were nice enough to give constructive feedback. Like 6 pros and 2 cons, but the cons were heavy on their eyes I suppose.

Anyways, kinda sad, I'll get over it.

I'm convinced Microslop is now 100% staffed by vibecoders, because what PM/dev/CTO/etc... with ANY real-life experience, in their right fucking mind would approve to forcefully change every user's theme for VSCode to a new one?!

(I mean i know why, they are desperate for validation because they dont actually do any real work, so they went full manager mode and wanted to show off their new “dark 2026” theme by forcing everyone to look at it)

I made an autonomous Ai cli application.. AGAIN. But I think I have the end game now. It is very basic and has only file access and a simple web search function. The web search endpoint is made by me and it searches and returns the result plus the content of the found urls. Fine. But it can do one more thing: it can prompt itself and that allows recursion. Oke, it can do another thing: create native functions for itself with an execution type: prompt, bash, python. Preferably, it converts the function to create in python because that is of course the fastest. The python script generating procedure includes the api of the cli itself giving it AI power an all the functions that the agent normally can call. The end result: as efficient possible extremely complex procedures enjoying its own feedback loop. It never ends until completion and it autonomously resolves all issues it faces.

Well, I told it to search online for a deep research algorithm and to execute that with my given prompt when I explicitly ask for it by creating a native function. Then, I told it to read the DevPlace api and create native functions of the whole api and I told my credentials. Now I have an application that can research everything about horse cocks and place the result on devplace. It did it all. Perfectly.

This is written in Nim and it stores it's native functions for Ai in an sqlite db. But actually, did you know you can add whatever you want to the end of an ELF application? I could append the native function descriptions at the end of a clone of itself and you have a statically compiled agent for specific use cases. For example, a web app builder with predifened preferences and source examples and such that will have guaranteed nice results. The accuracy of this cli is amazing and almost every action passes at once giving it unlimited power for very cheap. Thanks to great orchistration it works with lesser models to achieve great results. I invented a golden hammer. Only losers use claude for automation (looking at you openclaw loser). The art is getting as much possible out of cheaper models so you can actually relax using your tools.

It is crazy how much iterations of learning moments it costs to get to this amazing flow. I am one hundred percent sure that it will make the claude agent bite to dust. It already humiliated GLM with opencode several times. The art is to find balance in hardcoded functionality and AI.

Now working on a platform that can build sites without issues way better than manus (Never forget!!!) and deep research at perplecity level. The last one is kind of hard to validate. With this platform you can ask it to research a subject and to create a beautiful responsive seo site out of it using fastapi, jinja etc. It can basically deploy any type of project and publish it to an url OR sub domain. But that last part will be refactored to only compose using projects to be more stable. How more I narrow it down to specific technologies, the better result. It patches compose files to use Unix sockets that will be attached to an endpoint of my reverse proxy.

I tried to make it create nim web services as well but that's too confusing for AI because it's close to python syntax and llm's don't like that.

Can't wait until tomorrow to continue working on it, the first economic agentic platform better than manus. I can't believe that meta bought that shit. The three people talking positive about it are completely retarded. I talked to someone who wasted 5000 in a month and was positive about it. My god, if you invest 5000 in claude you would cure cancer. But what is the fun in that, not a very original idea. Does anyone know the name of the inventor of penciline? I don't fucking think so. Lassie has a bigger legacy than he has. I hope that lassie ended better than flipper and the many piglets that played babe. Also free willy ended up with a literally split personality. The propeller thing of a ship made two or more free Willie's of him. Autistic dolphin. He was on the Epstein list btw. Do orcas have a blowhole?

OK, time to sleep.

Even though I've earned peanuts my entire career, the stress of selling one phone is incomparable to how seamless software income came

Sure, management, deadlines and bugs are a pain in the ass missing in enterprise. The alternative involves sourcing from a reputable supplier, getting it to your end in one piece, praying for no defects both now and after sale, then the hardest part: finding a demand outlet. If you're rich, you rent a shop at a strategic location. If you're like me, online is your best shot. After pouring in tremendous amounts into ads or going organic, you have to sift through 100s of unserious trolls and convince the other person that they're better off buying off you than going offline anyway

But the essence of this post is that per successful sale after all this, the profit comparatively equals my daily wage as a software engineer. It amuses me more than it saddens me but I continue striving to eke out triumph. Almost everybody inside the market are more successful than I am, which makes it even funnier that I'm caught in the center of the Venn diagram of paupers across both vocations. On a more serious note, something doesn't add up in their apparent narrative. I suspect it's one of Money laundering, Sales volume, Robust customer base. or something else entirely

few days ago my ability to automatically plan things out in my head and to "actually remember" to do them came back... which is apparently called https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

this is actually the funnest shit. I loved this state and being "overburdened", because it feels like you're running an orchestra. it's sad though that it's been 1.5 years since I've been trending up from my cognitive issues (which doctors insisted don't exist) and it's only come back now (and of course 3 years prior to that where I was wandering around totally lost like a dementia patient, of course not checked for or acknowledged because the system says you're too young to have it so we won't bother even though that's not how definitions are supposed to work)

I feel like my life has been stolen from me and I cry about it all the time. you really figure out the underbelly of how ruthless and messed up people are. whereas before all this I had a catholic upbringing (despite being atheist and from an atheist family) where they taught you every person has fundamental value and believed in helping people, but now my whole world view is just utter misanthropy instead because humans are just outright disgusting scum turns out. morals for you but no we won't help you we'll just try to look high status to fuck you harder, repeat. if you try to help yourself we'll gaslight you because your offensive to our unfounded beliefs is more important than your life and your whole universe and every belief you ever had or could ever have, tehe, fuck you, got/getting mine off your back cuz you cant defend yourself tehe suuuckerr

j/k people don't even giggle when they fuck you. If they did they'd be more likeable. at least they'd be enjoying themselves, playing a game. but they don't view it as a game. they 100% believe they are doing the right thing, and that's terrifying and so dark

after prospective memory now my imagination seems to be coming back and i can think of 3-4 things at once in the background again... I'm actually having trouble telling the difference between dreaming and thinking when I wake up. before my imagination was invasive and was 90% of my experience, over physical reality, like while I'm focusing in physical reality. it's crazy you can lose that sort of brainpower. I'm still not there to that degree, as new "features" come back in glitchy spurts, but it makes me want to cry in a good way. I didn't think I would ever become myself again. I actually stopped being able to remember what it was like because I was sick so long

there's still so much missing. like for about a month now i can think more complicated intuitive thoughts, but if I try to put them into words I can't... eventually the ability to word them turned up but then the words end up sounding very stupid and after I say them the intuition disappears and I get very embarrassed and also frustrated because I can't bring back the intuition and I just forget it and am left with the stupid words that didn't capture the intuition. All my life I was so good at explaining things, numerous people would comment on it and befriend me because they loved I could guess what they mean and put it into words using my intuition and I guess explanatory abilities. I feel barely even human so much of the time because of all these things I could do so easily before, which made me me, but just up and disappeared... and it used to be so much worse when I was sick, that feeling of not even being human. Except the cruelest thing of all is I could never even cry out loud and communicate it, because that required human abilities I was missing hahaha... I thought I was shouting, I thought I was crying. but I don't think I said anything at all. I think I was just a vegetable, just trying to remember to feed myself, and having even no sense of hunger or knowledge of food preferences. Those also came back in the last month. Isn't that sad? lmao. I guess prospective memory is the system that tells you you would like to eat a certain food in the future

this is the first year doing taxes is uneventful... I am so freaked out by it

so I don't have to try to get access to my account on a website that randomly can't take in valid information for hours a day for 2-4 weeks?

the login just WORKED?! I didn't need to send a picture of my passport and the AI telling me I don't look like myself on suspicious as hell websites until I'm locked out?

it even PULLED PREVIOUS YEARS of information?

I have literally never had previous years pull ever succeed

here I was setting aside at least a full day at best but it's taken me under an hour

I have never heard of this and I am scared

government is too powerful if it suddenly figured out how to fix its technical issues. surveillance state now. omens of darker things to come. THE END IS NIGH

When gaming apps start teaching SEO 🤯

So this week I was writing an article about “what is a tiranga game” for a website.

Started simple…
“Okay, just explain the platform.”

Then it turned into:

SEO keyword research

Creating graphics

Writing guides

Explaining gameplay

Adding safety tips

Optimizing headings

Thinking about backlinks

At this point I’m not sure if I’m writing about a game…
or building a full content marketing strategy for it.

Funny thing about the internet:
You search what is a tiranga game, and suddenly you’re doing design, SEO, and content strategy all in one afternoon.

Developers build apps.
But somehow we end up doing everything else too.

Anyone else feel like one project slowly turns into 5 different jobs?
