Not because I have a crystal ball, I just don't believe in magical thinking.

Eerily accurate, especially the downtown skyline shot—100% accurate. And this is with GPT 4.1 Mini!

The captions are automatically added into the image metadata (exif). Makes them more searchable on iOS and macOS. Cost: $1/2k images. https://github.com/coreyward/candid-captions17 Jun 2025 16:37 +0000at://did:plc:lablxdo23toe6j63dra7dcrz/app.bsky.feed.post/3lrswksvokk2phttps://bsky.app/profile/coreyward.dev/post/3lrjctupyoc27I got tired of putting route tests in awkward folders in Next.js and came up with an easy fix: https://coreyward.svbtle.com/next-js-ignore-test-files-in-route-folders-pages13 Jun 2025 20:50 +0000at://did:plc:lablxdo23toe6j63dra7dcrz/app.bsky.feed.post/3lrjctupyoc27https://bsky.app/profile/coreyward.dev/post/3lrcccor4722iI just fixed a wifi connection issue by going to geocities .com. 😂 I'm out at a brewery. My laptop connects to the wifi fine, but nothing loads. I curl -vv stackoverflow and it complains about a self-signed certificate. Shoe in for a captive portal, and HSTS prevents the redirect from working.11 Jun 2025 01:52 +0000at://did:plc:lablxdo23toe6j63dra7dcrz/app.bsky.feed.post/3lrcccor4722ihttps://bsky.app/profile/coreyward.dev/post/3lq5x5tsmms25What a shame it'd be if people started using the website that lists the locations of these license plate reader cameras to find them and vandalize them.

Hype-hounds will lose their minds over it, stalwarts will pen witty pieces in McSweeny’s lambasting it as something their parents never needed, and the rest of us are just along for the ride.17 May 2025 04:16 +0000at://did:plc:lablxdo23toe6j63dra7dcrz/app.bsky.feed.post/3lpdoontur22yhttps://bsky.app/profile/coreyward.dev/post/3lp337cnzo22nI've used each of Cursor and Windsurf as my daily driver IDE for at least 6 weeks each. I've used Claude Code at least several times a week since launch. And the conclusion I keep coming back to, is that Microsoft/Github is going to win the AI-integrated IDE war.13 May 2025 18:06 +0000at://did:plc:lablxdo23toe6j63dra7dcrz/app.bsky.feed.post/3lp337cnzo22nhttps://bsky.app/profile/coreyward.dev/post/3lnweskqqxc2bJesus fucking Christ. I’m pretty pro-capitalism, generally speaking, but it’s gotta come with checks. 19 fucking families earning $1 trillion in 12 months is LUDICROUS.

It's practical benefits like this that I think are going to be far more common uses for LLMs. They're useful without the hype-laden futurist nonsense.26 Apr 2025 17:54 +0000at://did:plc:lablxdo23toe6j63dra7dcrz/app.bsky.feed.post/3lnqcm6ccg22chttps://bsky.app/profile/coreyward.dev/post/3lnnyp553oc2xGoing hard in the Car & Driver comments.25 Apr 2025 19:51 +0000at://did:plc:lablxdo23toe6j63dra7dcrz/app.bsky.feed.post/3lnnyp553oc2xhttps://bsky.app/profile/coreyward.dev/post/3lnndnkc6h22pPrior to the election some friends and acquaintances were frustrated with our two party system. Some voted third party, even. I can’t help but feel like they all took for granted that we’d have at least two parties. Not sure that’s panning out well as we speed toward a one-party system.25 Apr 2025 13:35 +0000at://did:plc:lablxdo23toe6j63dra7dcrz/app.bsky.feed.post/3lnndnkc6h22phttps://bsky.app/profile/coreyward.dev/post/3lmkpoozfuc27If you've been switching IDEs a lot lately, you might have been annoyed when a `git rebase` launched the wrong editor. I know I was. So I wrote this short script to use the current IDE instead. Works with VSCode, Cursor, and Windsurf. Easy to add others if needed too! https://gist.github.com/coreyward/6131e6ec5a35ef226abc5463ea63d33411 Apr 2025 19:07 +0000at://did:plc:lablxdo23toe6j63dra7dcrz/app.bsky.feed.post/3lmkpoozfuc27
