The Gregzone<p>It is *so easy* to doompost. I acknowledge the feeling all the time; sometimes I give in to it.</p><p>I imagine it’s a way to try and feel like you aren’t the only one noticing how bad things are, or how much worse they are likely to get. Others star your post, or boost it, or reply, and there’s that sense of “oh thank god, I’m not alone”. Sometimes, there may even be a perverse sense of needing to scare/anger people, in the hopes that it may result in action. But it won’t, because that action has to come naturally, organically from a populace.</p><p>What I try to remember is that others do know, especially here. They don’t need reminders. Yes, it is important to share news about awful shit going down, but the danger is slipping into total despair, depression, hopelessness when doing so — and then dragging others down into that pit with you.</p><p>So I’m gonna keep trying to make a conscious effort to hold on to whatever hope I can, and think about what I post. For all of us.</p><p><a href="https://retro.pizza/tags/morningthoughts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>morningthoughts</span></a></p>

The Gregzone<p>I think getting in “the zone” can be detrimental to modern coders who need to work in a group, *especially* ADHD coders. In my case, I’ll fall down a rabbit hole of refactoring, “oh if I change this it means I have to change this, which means this needs to be changed, etc.”, and soon I have this huge commit and MR that nobody is gonna want to review.</p><p>I need to force myself to slow down. Take a step back, try to limit stuff to one or two smaller changes, even if it means hacking in a shim before the rest is changed. Get that working and passing the pipeline so it can be approved and merged. THEN proceed with the next step.</p><p><a href="https://retro.pizza/tags/adhd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>adhd</span></a> <a href="https://retro.pizza/tags/programming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>programming</span></a> <a href="https://retro.pizza/tags/morningthoughts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>morningthoughts</span></a></p>

The Gregzone<p>I saw someone last night posting about using LLMs to answer questions. He said “it is usually correct” (referring to its responses).</p><p>I said nothing, but my mind was screaming “THIS IS THE PROBLEM”. “Usually correct” is not acceptable to me. Being right 98% of the time and confidently outputting bullshit misinformation 2% of the time is NOT ACCEPTABLE TO ME.</p><p>And what is scary is that it IS perfectly acceptable to a large percentage of people. They’re just fine with putting their faith in a confabulation generator.</p><p>Years ago, Stephen Colbert (or his writers) coined the term “wikiality” to describe the then-new consensus-truth of the internet, but this flies right past that quaint concept into something far more insidious: “vibality”. “Well, it feels like it could be right, and it was delivered with such authority, by a computer, so it’s probably true.”</p><p>Ironic that the “facts before feelings” crowd have embraced the total antithesis of what they claim to believe in.</p><p><a href="https://retro.pizza/tags/morningthoughts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>morningthoughts</span></a></p>

SleepyCatten<p>It's weird. We're kind of an oddity when it comes to social stuff. We want to be more social, but we also massively struggle with it. (Thanks AuDHD 🤦‍♀️)</p><p>However, in spite of this, we seem to be a focal point for others becoming friends and partners.</p><p>Guess we're a better wingwoman / wingperson / wingcatfoxcombo than we think? 😅</p><p>This post sponsored by seeing the posts y'all do that show us that you want more friends or a person (or people) to love: we appear to be a useful fulcrum / locus for such things.</p><p>And you can probably track down folks by seeing whom we've replied to, or looking through whom we're following 🫶</p><p>Just a thought 🩷</p><p><a href="https://cultofshiv.wtf/tags/MorningThoughts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MorningThoughts</span></a></p>
The Gregzone<p>I never liked the saying “suffering is good for the soul”. The idea that comfort, happiness, and safety must by definition require pain and hardship. It is toxic, regressive, and anti-empathy.</p><p>But I *will* say that too much convenience can be detrimental. For example: the early days of being online were a PAIN. Super-slow modems that tied up phone lines, cryptic procedures to connect, and so on. But they forced me to learn. Failed downloads with XMODEM vs error correction with YMODEM taught me the difference between checksums and CRCs. Getting IDENT working on mIRC taught me how TCP/IP operated. Just using a computer required me to learn the basics of file systems.</p><p>In contrast, today’s net is a black box for 99.9% of people. And that’s excellent in many ways, but terrible for education. And now, with impenetrable LLMs, things are getting worse at an alarming rate. </p><p><a href="https://retro.pizza/tags/morningthoughts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>morningthoughts</span></a></p>
