Finding a WordPress theme is hard (no, don’t care to build or maintain one). But I’ve settled on TwentyNineteen with some dark mode enhancements. Wanted something simple. It’s not perfect, but I will continue tweaking it to my liking.

As someone who uses Apple Notes and Reminders daily, I have to admit Apple really makes crappy software.

As a senior developer, I’ve found AI incredibly useful for boosting productivity and handling a lot of tasks. It’s like having the Internet on my computer and it can speak to me, it’s really awesome. But, it can be infuriating when it doesn’t quite get what you need, especially with more complex stuff. It feels like working with an amateur developer who keeps missing the mark over and over, needing constant guidance and re-instruction.

For me, this has led to something I’d call “AI burnout.” The frustration builds to the point where I just want to give up trying to use it. It’s annoying, exhausting, and frankly, not worth the energy. I begin to distrust it and lose confidence in its ability to help, to the point where I’d rather push it aside and I often start to continue working on my own.

I wonder if other developers feel the same way—when does the help stop feeling helpful?
