Here's a Bash script that stitches together `llm` and `files-to-prompt` (from @simonw) to run an iterative TDD loop to make a set of tests pass. codeinthehole.com/tips/llm-tdd-l… This effectively automates the green part from the standard red-green-refactor loop.

On TikTok there is AdjusterTok, where work from home insurance agents video their side of calls explaining how car insurance works to irritated people, and it’s quite sobering stuff. People don’t really know what insurance is, it’s just some magical thing to make stuff better.

This is a very revealing quote from Billy Bragg. If you're independent-minded (paulgraham.com/mod.html), you often find yourself on the same side of an issue as people you dislike. So if he's shocked by that idea, it shows he's not.

Is anyone working a system for federating custom emoji between systems? I need Notion and Slack to share the same set.

To be a good writer, you have to be annoyed by bad writing. You're unlikely to get your first drafts exactly right, and unless you're annoyed by what you got wrong, you won't fix it.


Today's bug bear: newline characters: ⛔ Don't use them to add whitespace between paragraphs (adjust your tool's paragraph spacing value if you need to do this). 🟢 Do use them to break up your almost-always-too-long paragraphs.
