Are you looking for a sign? I have signs. I have so many signs. Buy some of my many signs from Lewis-Workshop.com, and feel the warm glow that comes from supporting a small business run by a good looking stay-at-home dad with a heart of gold and a crazy dream to buy food and pay bills.

Ah yes, nothing screams "cutting-edge tech genius" like spending 68 minutes reverse engineering a fan to escape the tyranny of its app. 🌬️🔧 Instead of enjoying clean air, let's devote our weekends to making sure our air purifier can join the unified utopia of Home Assistant—because who needs a social life when you can have a cloud-free smart home? 😂🏠

James Warner · Hacking a Smart Home DeviceHow I reverse engineered an ESP32-based smart home device to gain remote control access and integrate it with Home Assistant.

🤖🚀 Claude 3.7's enthusiasm is like a puppy on caffeine—a bit too eager to obey every command, but often ends up fetching the wrong stick. 🐶💥 Meanwhile, #Mastodon is still begging you to enable #JavaScript because who needs native apps in 2023 anyway? 🙄📱

MathstodonPiotr Migdał (@pmigdal@mathstodon.xyz)Attached: 2 images Claude 3.7 in Cursor is eager — sometimes a bit too eager. Like a programmer who's had one espresso too many. Sure, the code works, but often at the cost of unnecessary complexity — adding extra if-statements "just in case," even when simpler patterns would suffice. Some might call this "defensive programming." Perhaps folks from the Java world even appreciate this style. I prefer to call it "unnecessary bloat." Yes, it might boost the percentage of working code (and thus look better in benchmarks), but complexity matters — a lot. Not just for aesthetics (though I admit holding the minority view that clean code is valuable in itself), but because overly complex code makes future changes harder and more error-prone, whether done manually or by Claude 3.7 itself. For example, I asked Claude to move CSS into a separate file instead of embedding it in a Python string. It did exactly that—but then, just to be safe, also inlined the CSS anyway. Another common pattern: when I request removing unnecessarily long imports, Claude often hesitates, leaving them in place "just in case." Unfortunately, this happens frequently. Still, I don't mean to imply that Claude 3.7 is bad. There's a delicate balance between doing too little and doing too much—not only for AI but also for humans. #claude #cursor #ai #llm

A few days ago, I explained the benefits of using FreeBSD to a potential client during a phone call. Today, they sent me a message saying, "Ok, I want the BSDM."

I think there was a misunderstanding: if they want to suffer, they need a different operating system!
