They were an odd crew: the thin old man with his head slightly cocked, the stocky girl running her thumb over a raspberry cane, the small boy watching individual leaves on the maple tree quiver as they were struck by the first drops of rain.

"What's with them?" Marius asked.

"They're #code-breakers," Quentin replied. "The old man knows the code of changing air pressure. The girl reads the code in plants' defensive barbs. And the boy interprets rain."

Nara Moore (Raven, not author) lay belly-up next to half a blackbird.

Poe had switched to Moscow Mules, to the bartender’s disgust.

His cups and spills formed abstract poetry, symbolic of Poe’s mind.

“TM, when y-y-you st-st-art CODEing?”

“Someone saw a wee poem I penned.” He shrugged.

“When y-y-yo-you become project man-manager?”

“They said me work was a CODE.”

He drew a sample in a spill: “for(int L15= iv345;*PtrV51;L15++){*V111= V227+*PtrV45;V111++;}”

“NM, he wr-ote that dr-drunk!” Poe said to his comatose friend.

“Nother ‘Morning Glory Fizz’ and ‘Time Traveler’ fer me friend.” Me dr-un-un-k CODE still makes s-s-s-sense.

Poe exclaimed, “Not!”

Curtiss and Serena stood outside the grand ballroom. He took a deep breath, not sure what to expect.
"Are you ready, Milady?"
She put a hand on his arm.
"Before we go in," she said, "we need to get our signals straight."
"Signals?"
"Yes. We need some #code words in case things go wrong." #wss366

»Coding-Hassliebe – 8 Sprachen, die Programmierer zur Weißglut treiben:
Tools, die sich als Sprache ausgeben, verwirrende Syntax, verstaubter Code, der einfach nicht sterben will – diese Programmiersprachen bringen Entwickler auf die Palme.«

Ja und nein, daran kommt mensch nicht vorbei beim coden. Dies sind weit verbreitete Scriptsprachen und machen je nach Einsatz Sinn aber zB sicheres WebDev sollte sich davon abhalten ;)

AI bubble burst, hopefully coming soon. To be fair, "AI" (quotes because there is nothing artificial or intelligent about it, unless you think Markov chains are intelligent) code generation works for the most basic sort of routines. For most programmers this is but an incremental step above boiler plate code and with hallucinations or anything more complicated, all of us who do this for a living know; we are doing it ourselves. That leaves a few real use cases, low hanging fruit for non-important routines, rapid prototyping and chat bots. Where would "AI" be most useful? For those who need basic routines or functionality. Turns out, everyone can get something halfway working and in a very broken state but "looks usable" until it's time to actually put something into production. The only difference with this bubble is that it'll require full rewrites. Guess that could be a good thing though... #ai #ai_bubble #programming #code #opensource

Pivot to AI · If AI is so good at coding … where are the open source contributions?You can hardly get online these days without hearing some AI booster talk about how AI coding is going to replace human programmers. AI code is absolutely up to production quality! Also, you’re all…

I'm having an entertaining duel with a friend over who can snatch the "Local Legend" on a bridge interval segment on Strava. This morning, I claimed it with 31 efforts in the past 90 days.

Two days ago, he took the King Of the Mountain (KOM) on the segment. I can't compete with him on speed, so I decided to taunt him by encoding a message into my intervals this morning with Morse Code.

The run was supposed to be an easy 55'. I hope I don't regret it tomorrow.

SQLx integration in Axum:

SQLx is an awesome crate for interacting with databases in Rust with compile time checks. In this blog post, we will learn how to use it in an Axum backend to store and retrieve data from a database.
