It was a relatively good week work-wise, despite the IQ-diminishing heat sweeping Europe. On Friday I wrote and published a blog post detailing my current agentic coding workflow. It was spectacularly unpopular on Bluesky, squeaked out a few likes on LinkedIn, and garnered no attention on HackerNews. (I think I forgot to enable comments or upvotes when I posted? I can’t find any sort of link to it, now.) It was nonetheless time well spent, as putting to paper these thoughts about how LLMs are changing my personal experience of software engineering helped to clarify my thinking about the subject. If you’re curious about how I use my computer to write code these days (which includes the way I write the prose, although I use LLMs only for editing grammar and spelling in personal writing like this), check it out.
I also updated both this site and that main blog site to use the Rheo justify package, which should produce much better word spacing in all of my personal writing. When I viewed a post on mobile (I have a very small screen on my device), it looked a bit messy; so I reverted mobile to regular left-alignment.
