Having a character casually talking about spending $20 when that is $360 in today's dollars is very distracting.07 Jul 2026 12:45 +0000at://did:plc:76ewhdmooca37win6rnhlmnk/app.bsky.feed.post/3mq2n4hh6bk2thttps://bsky.app/profile/jordanreiter.bsky.social/post/3mpoecima2k2yEver heard about the guy who couldn't afford a premium URL shortener with a custom code so he had to name his company He29FRDj9YvA?02 Jul 2026 15:36 +0000at://did:plc:76ewhdmooca37win6rnhlmnk/app.bsky.feed.post/3mpoecima2k2yhttps://bsky.app/profile/jordanreiter.bsky.social/post/3mohdwm3vt22lThat thing where you finally have your life together enough to be able to schedule an appointment with a therapist but now you don't have anything to talk about.17 Jun 2026 03:15 +0000at://did:plc:76ewhdmooca37win6rnhlmnk/app.bsky.feed.post/3mohdwm3vt22lhttps://bsky.app/profile/jordanreiter.bsky.social/post/3mocmaz2wys2eImagine thinking being predictable isn't fun.

I think it's incredibly important to remember that not only does GenAI make mistakes & hallucinate, but it's also SPECIFICALLY designed to write code that LOOKS correct.
