I guess "Power corrupts; absolute power corrupts absolutely" isn't just for monarchs, then.

Does anyone know of any tape that doesn't leave glue when you've used it to stick something on a metal surface, like a window frame?

We hang up our festive lights that way, but it's always such a biatch to clean up the glue residue of the tape afterward.

I'm thinking a LibrePress alternative could very well be in the making with how he keeps reacting to this situation.

In another episode of "Matt being a dick", he removes accounts of WP developers that dare to criticize how he runs WP. 🙄

Finally pushed the disable button on my birdsite account.

No way I'm going back on there, and after being gone this long, I don't miss it anymore either.

A while ago I wondered if it would be possible to generate a static site using Pandoc, from Markdown files.

With a bit of tinkering and reading the docs, it turns out it isn't that hard.

This post contains links to a demo site and the source code repo, for the curious.

I wonder if there's a non-intrusive way to find out if people are actually using your (open source) software.

It's kinda fun and motivating to see they are, but for a zip download from GitHub there isn't a way to find out.

It just occurred to me that AI is like the most annoying type of person you can run into.

Someone who thinks he knows everything, and tries to bullshit his way out of every mistake he makes.

For unit tests it seemed to work. It generated tests that were pretty much what I wanted from a description or test name.

Still had to double-check everything, because it messed up in some cases, but it took less typing.

Copy-pasting from a previous test might have also done the trick though.

I'm not convinced AI saves you time when coding. I turned off Copilot in VS for autocompletion because it kept generating code that was wrong. It kept suggesting unexisting properties, while I expect autocomplete to help me with figuring out what properties and methods exist on a class etc.

Code it generated to initialize objects was often just wrong, and so you waste more time redoing it, and double-checking everything it wrote.
