I went through a phase with LLMs (as I think most did) in 2023. What’s funny is that as the year progressed, I started to see the limitations and blindspots of AI companions more and more. To the point that I started to write my own code primarily, again.

In fact, what I find them most useful for is to simply automate the boring stuff (looking at you, mapping). My hope for 2024 is some sort of breakthrough for programming with LLMs where they gain some killer functionality. 10x programmer?

I’ve been working in the .NET world for a number of years. My blog happens to be written in PHP. Going back to it is interesting. The lack of types is frustrating! Development iteration is faster without having to build, though.

I always wanted a way to publish my thoughts on my website. Something a little less formal than a blog post. That will be this section, which I hope I’ll remember to update with whatever interesting mundane 🤣 thoughts I have.
