What a cool setting for a story on Mars.
Real photo of sand dunes on Mars from NASA. Quite amazing, we donβt have these patterns on earth.

I am deep in a really giant spreadsheet, which means something has gone horribly wrong with my day.

Took a ton of time to edit it (this story was *long* by my standards!) but I got it submitted in time. Now back to novel writing until the next @WotFContest deadline looms! :-)
I have an all-new short story for this quarter's @WotFContest, and I'm stoked! I think this one's special.

I just started up a virtual server with 48 cores and 96GB of RAM so that I could run in a few hours a job that would have taken my laptop about 9 days to finish. It's routine, but I also know that high school me would have tears in his eyes thinking of how cool the future is.

Sometimes I see contests and conferences and seminars and I'm like: sounds like fun! Starting something new! Talking about writing! Then I remember I still working on finishing my first complete book.

Today ChatGPT taught me a fun new term: "cache-busting". I was trying to get an image in a Markdown cell of a Jupyter notebook in VS Code to refresh (new file, same filename) and this is what ChatGPT told me to do: 1. It worked. 2. "cache-busting" is part of my vocab now

I'm n00b enough to get excited at people reading my story! May it ever be thus. Also, good synopsis: "The descendants of a crashed spaceship have grown to see old computer commands as prayer, but the latest genius acolyte has stumbled over something amazing."

"Three LLMs in a Trench Coat" should be an underground post-hardcore band with anarcho-capitalist politics.

I signed up for FB recently, and now I'm besieged by "people" trying to sell me marketing services, except by "people" I mean "three LLMs in a trench coat."

One of the things you gotta watch out for with infrastructure-as-code, is that a bug in the code can actually result in more, you know, *infrastructure*. (Snapshot of a CloudWatch report of Lambdas invocations before and after fixing a bug that emitted 15x too many EB events.)

Was randomly thinking about this quote today. One of the truest lines of dialogue every spoken. Sadly haven't found a good .gif of it. https://t.co/zpuViTNTu9
Well, what you plan and what takes place ain't ever exactly been similar... #Firefly #Serenity #WhedonVerse
