Software engineer, trying to be less cranky but if the techbros could stop being so cringe that'd help.

Living on unceeded Gadigal land / Glorious Inner West Sydney.

Current work is in energy market software, data and analysis. Pretty keen on that whole energy transition! Previous work has been embedded software / consumer electronics.

Dad to two kids. Likes a good bushwalk, bikes, cooking, making bad music.

Full-time remote WFH crazy cat gentleman.

I'm at QAGOMA where there's an excellent special exhibition by artist Olafur Eliasson but of special Fedi interest is the "Cars in rivers series". #IfItsFloodedFloorIt

@Kels_316 It may well be that the best use case for LLMs is comedy.

@Kels_316 My Mr 13 recently discovered the "Knots 3D" mobile app in the family library, now "rope" is on my shopping list. Parenting win, I think?

@vampiress@eigenmagic.net Completely agree on train wreck points -- ethically, morally, financially, environmentally. I've been a massive sceptic. But having used a bit of Claude on C# and typescript and even terraform over the last couple months -- I'm starting to see why people are saying it's got some use cases.
