Vibe coding is fun
Just forked some ancient repo, updated it to the latest stack, migrated every breaking change
And now Iâve got god-tier syntax highlighting in my projects
Wouldâve wasted weeks on that otherwise

Big 4 accounting is so cooked. A SOTA LLM can nail a one-month forward reconciliation at 100% accuracy.
Now its pure tooling to make it continuous. Remind me what the â$300/hr billable expertsâ are for again?

lfmao turns out Cloudflare is just a another google GCP wrapper.

Be me: attend Machine Learning conference
Watch 21-year olds demo AI that literally saves firefighter lives
Return to my desk patting myself on the back for a 0.27% churn drop
Existential dread creeps in

Tried a life-expectancy calculator and it turned out Iâm good for 89 years.
Now plotting how to blow every last penny by then.
Retire broke and die happy.
Not a financial advice.

One step closer to full-on algo trading with Interactive Brokersâ API after 4 hours of sweat, and curses
Now firing off multi-leg options strategies algorithmically with just
"result: rest_client.Result = client.modify_order()"
Feel free to steal the code.

What Youtube gurus won't tell you about n8n and no code automation:
No type safety
Debugging in the dark
Context switching PTSD
Poor logic reusability
Your brain doing gymnastics over API calls, states and logic
The no-code hype? Mostly a lie.

If youâre not on n8n yet, youâre missing out.
Just spent 4 hours ripping a Go microservice+Temporal orchestration to shreds and redone it as a two-step n8n workflow.
Automation so slick itâs practically cheating.

Starting with Reinforcement learning is scary
You need Anaconda, OpenAI Gym⊠and a prayer.
So I overfit my first agent from scratch. As any beginner would do.
Result: Buy/Sell Acc. 53.54%, Total reward:Â 7
Definitely not a money printerâŠbut hey, at least got ball rolling
