The golden crane flies for tarmon gaidon!
It’s funny how this today hit, when I never noticed it in my earlier reads.
It a bit worrying that Claude Code found like ten threads issues in my blogging app today. I’ve learned to write such code and still make errors :-(
Finished (for now) my mapping tool. Check it out here.
I just started reading Bombenkopf: Wie Migräne mich ausmacht by Phia Quantius.📚
⤑ How Zurich built a weird mountain train….that’s also an S-Bahn.
Interesting video about a part of Swiss rail history. I like the external view of our system a lot.
Soooo true :-)
I just finished reading Die Macht der Computer und die Ohnmacht der Vernunft by Joseph Weizenbaum.📚
🍿 Person of Interest (2011)
John Reese, former CIA paramilitary operative, is presumed dead and teams up with reclusive billionaire Finch to prevent violent crimes in New York City by initiating their own type of justice. With the special training that Reese has had in Covert Operations and Finch's genius software inventing mind, the two are a perfect match for the job that they have to complete. With the help of surveillance equipment, they work "outside the law" and get the right criminal behind bars.

Seen today. Like the geometry of it.
Glad I got the post about my homepage update done yesterday. I found so many issues in the page writing it. And also found quite a lot more today. I hope I’ve have fixed most of them now.
How to slim down your Hugo homepage into an archive and a live page
My homepage deploy script stopped working at the end of January. The Hugo content folder is now over 4 GB in size and this causes quite long build times. But the bigger issue is the checkout time and the actual time required to deploy the final page after the GitHub Action build has completed. The whole issue is made more complicated as I’m unable to run Hugo directly on my webhost. So each time I trigger a new build the build process copies the entire public folder, which takes up to 30 minutes. And then it often runs into a caching or timeout issue on my webhost, leading to the page not updating for up to 12 hours. I never found out what the actual issue was. So it was time to find a solution for these problems. I had already run into this situation a year ago and managed to patch it, but I was never happy with the overall build process. This time I want to fix the problems once and for all.
My current weekend project :-), I need a little map overview generator (needs a better name), which can show custom POI’s and details.
Handy trick to get back a Github secret, certainly not ideal, but it helps :-)
run: echo ${{secrets.YOUR_SECRET}} | sed 's/./& /g'

⤑ The Album That GLOBALIZED Celine Dion: Falling Into You (1996).
How this awakens so many childhood memories. And I directly needed to listen to the album again. Still like it after all these years.
I’m wondering if frameworks and coding languages still matter in the not so far future. When the LLM is writing all the code, my opinions about a language matter a lot less. Only of course you run out of tokens and want to implement something by hand.
@V_ It probably would matter less, but I think it will still matter to some degree. I’d argue that you’d still want the option of not using AI tools. Say they get too expensive, or they’re not functional for some reason. Having a codebase that you can understand, after some reading, would still be important. That’s generally why I’ve shied away from requesting agents working in technologies I’m not familiar with. Having something in SwiftUI would be nice, but Go and web tech is what I know.
@lmika & @torb you both raise important points. Regarding the type (and provability) I wonder if a separate domain model could help (in whatever form). Of course that would then not yet be provable. And you still need to validate if the generated code actually uses it. And the point of not being able to write on the codebase when the LLM is offline. Is a big issue. I’m also thinking about what happens when you have such a code base and they start to increase the token costs.
@torb Yes understanding of the source code is something you lose – and I feel it for features I’ve added this way. I feel a distance between the product and how it works now. Right now understanding the code is a good still a good thing. Right now I try to help a bit against this issue be adding more comments to the code. But yeah it feels different when you hand craft something vs when you just let it generate. A bit like the difference between tailor made clothing or furniture vs buying in box store.
@torb @torb And yes the ethical issues are something I ingore in part right now. Or try to make smaller by telling my self that it does not matter so much with code as most of it is OpenSource or comes from StackOverflow (which has an open licence for all posts). But I know that this argument is not so strong. At least I make a difference between image/text generation (for fiction) and code generation.
Why does coding with Claude Code or Codex feel so addictive?

@V_ Congrats! what does it do? Just clicked through and tried toggling cities but couldn’t see any difference. What did you build it for?

@holgerfrohloff I use it to make “context” images of where I live for the postcards is send via Postcrossing. Show where the motive is from on the card for example. Or show the travel route I had while traveling through their country. Regarding not seeing differences after toggling cities: I see you just found a bug oO

@V_ cool. It did look good so there is that.
