In-Memory in Solidus
Sorry about the digression into the world of LLM's last week. I'd spent too much energy thinking about that situation (and discussing it with people) to not...
LLM Neurosis
There was no Skill Issue last week because I was struggling to synthesize my thoughts. I'm not sure I've come to any real conclusions, but I've at least come...
All Around the Mond
Last week there was no Skill Issue. Between work and the hunt for a home, there wasn't time. The good news is that we've got an accepted offer on a place to...
Zero Bilisibility
Now that the LLM craze has not just ruined the GPU and RAM markets, it has now moved on to hard drives. Not content with just consuming physical resources,...
Vouch and Denounce
I had one of my worst surf sessions in recent memory on yesterday. This is made even worse that I couldn't really afford to take the day off, and have to do...
Code Reuse Considered Harmful
I caught a cold last weekend, immediately after having done something to my shoulder that aggravated my rotator cuff. I started the year off very strong,...
Go-lidus
I'm finishing this week's Skill Issue up having just returned from getting my shoulder checked out. I was worried I'd seriously injured my left rotator cuff....
Rubyists can have a single monad, as a treat
I've been learning Go. The programming language. I've played a little of the board game, but never enough to get halfway decent at it. Both the language and...
Gate-getting-rid-of
If you haven't already, go check out this week's episode of Dead Code with Samir Talwar. Also, I can't be more jealous of his personal site's domain,...
Welcome to 20XX
We're back. I actually wrote half of a year-end bonus Skill Issue, but decided that I'd rather spend more time surfing than finish. We're back now, though....
Dystopian Code Review
This is the final Skill Issue of the year. Thanks y'all for reading. I'll be back at it on Jan 9th. In between now and then I'll be enjoying some time with...
Introspection
I'm really tempted to complete each day of the Advent of Code this year in a different language, but I don't really have twelve languages that I'm proficient...
Jared Is Not a Serious Programmer
I fell behind on my Skill Issues due to business at work. Hopefully this is a fun one to make it up to everyone. A Deeply Unserious Take This week my...
Wytchcraft
This week and into next I'm on a little getaway. It's not a full break from work, though I am working a bit less this week. I'm off in coastal cabin with Amy...
Abyssal, Cosmic, Byzantine
Last week's Skill Issue was missing because I was too busy. We've had a couple folks depart Super Good and there was a bit of reshuffling. This has me...

The surf has been great this week. It’s been so good that I’ve been seeing shots of local spots on r/surfing. Earlier this week I scoped out a slightly more...
Sec-Fetch-Site: same-origin
Note: I wrote this on Friday, but for some reason it failed to send it out. Tomorrow, the surf is going to get really good around here. To the subscribers...

I got a new bike today. If you follow me on Mastodon you’ll probably be treated to some pictures from my rides over the next little bit. I've been riding a...
Coup d'état
It's been a fun week. I was in Vancouver overnight to see a band whose name I'm hesitant to put in my newsletter. Their lead singer is 70 and (suprisingly)...
Fragmented
I already said this elsewhere, but writing this week's Skill Issue is exceptionally difficult. I have some very particular feelings about what's happening...
