  2. A quotation from Cicero

    MARCUS: The power of separating the intellect from the senses, and reason from instinct, is characteristic of the highest genius.
     
    [Magni autem est ingenii sevocare mentem a sensibus et cogitationem ab consuetudine abducere.]

    Marcus Tullius Cicero (106-43 BC) Roman orator, statesman, philosopher
    Tusculan Disputations [Tusculanae Disputationes], Book 1, ch. 16 (1.16) / sec. 38 (1.38) (45 BC) [ed. Harbottle (1897)]

  3. 👨‍💻 Ah, "effortlessly" deploying cloud coding agents – because who doesn't want to add another layer of #abstraction to their already convoluted cloud infrastructure just to feel like a tech wizard? 🧙‍♂️ Apparently, it's the 26th letter in the alphabet that finally cracked the code to make developers' lives even more 'exciting'. 🎉

  4. When #abstraction is bad. I want to run #JavaScript #Promise s in sequence, not "parallel". Easy:

    let tail = Promise.resolve();
    for(.x.) {
    tail = tail.then(() => somePromise(x));
    }
    await tail;

    But I wrote a class PromiseSerializer. It got out of hand.
    - collect all results
    - catch all errors
    - allow callback on resolved promise value
    - allow aborting
    - two variants to add a promise
    - document semantics

    yet each use site needed maybe two of those. And looked worse than the code above.🤦‍♀️

  6. Since I have no machines to run #AI I can only speculate from what I can #Imagine . Does AI have a #Skill called #Abstraction? (like thinking deep into some subject and "look" to the object to see more openly the object) .. does skills include #Objectives ? (like don't change the first generated code, but develop new modules to fix what the first code is doing wrong) .. is like a #patch(er) -> Fix code vs Break code <- Is always on the intention Right? #RedTeams #Dream

  7. “The planet does not negotiate with our saved storage. It only continues or ceases to support the conditions under which prediction organisms of our complexity can persist.”🌱
