I got a Mary Morter, per suggestion, will report how that goes. But who is Mary Morter?
Ba Bar in the University Village in the U District. Sonia really U Village?
Software architecture isn’t disappearing because of AI. It’s mutating. The work used to be diagrams, frameworks, and gatekeeping design decisions. Now AI can generate scaffolding in minutes. The real job is shifting toward shaping the thinking process behind what gets generated. Architects aren’t just designing systems anymore — we’re designing how humans and AI collaborate to build them. Read more: https://compositecode.blog/2025/11/04/architects-evolving-with-ai/
It's amazing how quickly high value individuals disqualify themselves from relationships. After a certain age the tolerance for "maybe this would work" or "they seem interesting" turns into "they aren't involved in nor associated to 99% of what I have going on in life - disqualified". This also explains so much of modern society. Especially so many of the broken parts of modern society. It definitely explains the loneliness of people and the massive business that has formed up to toxify the situation and leech money off of lonely people. It is truly one of the modern cons.
Finally trying out the Goodvine Coffee & Bar. https://www.goldvinecoffee.com/
People are asking for some weird stuff in job reqs these days. It's almost like we're in the super early stages of Generative AI being adopted in more places and the vast majority of "job reqs" are clueless. Waiting for the "must have 20 years experience with Gen AI Copilot Cursor [fill in blank thing that hasn't existed even a small % of time as the request]."
I've written down some thoughts (on a prediction) around Generative AI and the increased security vector risks it poses. Not so much that it, in itself, is a security risk specifically (it is) but how it is amplifying our existing bad practices. https://compositecode.blog/2026/03/09/security-was-already-a-mess-generative-ai-is-about-to-prove-it/
A favorite part of the route from Tacoma to Seattle, heading through the Puyallup & Sumner areas.
It’s this nice in Tacoma right now. What’s Seattle looking like? The weather report is it’s raining. Any eyes on the ground?
There is supposed to be a passenger train here on these tracks in 3 minutes. Yet this train isn’t even moving. Betting that passenger train arrival isn’t on time! Ask me how I know! 🤣
A short story and a quick thought. 🧶 I've been working on some credit card integrations and those gave me a thought on the current state of currency (not just credit cards) processing and generative LLM based tooling. First and foremost, it's great, it helps you take giant steps toward integration of processing transactions, but the risk is huge that a part of things won't be done right. One still has to learn the processing process pretty intimately if they want it to be trustworthy and know how to resolve issues when they come up. Right now, the LLMs just aren't really in that state, and part of that is just the expansive choices in how to implement payment processing tech. Without that knowledge you're unlikely to get things implemented in the way that you'd want them to work. I'm finding that out having selected a wrong option or two in my initial setup on Stripe. Attempting to implement the project entirely via generative AI. So far it is working really well. However, a few gotchas once I pushed a wrong choice or two, and the tooling just tried to follow my directions and work around the particular bad option I'd chosen. Funny how that works. The tricky part at that point was to get the generative tooling to step back to the point in the process and know where to restart from. When I reset the option that was the problem, I had started a new practice - kind of labeling or tagging the point of start and end for each prompt I wrote up. Thankfully I'd done this because then I could inform the tooling to restart thinking from that point in time. It worked great. From the repo perspective, I just went back to X commit in git. Ya know, cuz we're all still using source control right? RIGHT? Anyway, just some thoughts on the kind of heavy practices around transactional currency processing. Still a space where you absolutely need to hunker down and dive deep into how things work on a particular service/product. Good luck out there, that's all I've got for now - cheers, keep thrashing code! 🧑🏽💻
Getting close to first release of InterlinedList! 🤘🏻
Never thought in the years I lived in PDX that Vancouver would become a hive of art, activity, and life. It was for years, dead. Added biking and walkability and housing and a little bit of this and that, and acting as a tax escape from Portland really did the job. All that and a strange sprinkle of trash rednecks and their hyper loud puffy trucks and fascism pop up every now and again, but not much.
There’s this joint that used to be at Clinton & 21st called the Lamp Light, but now is a comic book themed cowboy kind of joint called Rhinestone. I dropped in after my stop in at Blink and had some drinks and some crispitos. For beverage I went with a “fixin to”. But excellent. Followed up with a good ole’ Old Fashioned. They’ve also got this art piece that is made up (see images) of the liter comic book covers. Then in the bathroom they did the wallpaper with the actual pages of said comic books. In the end, crew was cool, drinks and food good, would recommend. Good joint to hang out in!
Ever pondered how your micro-movements effect and affect your interactions with other people? I'm legit curious how many others have actually pondered this. What did you take away after spending a second, or minutes or longer time on this thought?
Also while in PDX. Always with the love! ❤️
Stopped in at Kiln to co-work for the day. Getting some docs reviewed and approved, troubleshooting some .NET - yup, y'all heard that right, some .NET! - and then it's over to Blink later today for new glasses. How wild and unfettered should they be? I ponder this, but of course ask rhetorically, cuz I'll manage to ensure their entirely unregulated. BTW - if you're in PDX looking for a co-working place, Kiln is choice. I was told they're opening a Seattle location in Fremont, so stoked about that! * https://kiln.com/ * PDX Location - https://kiln.com/communities/portland/ * Fremont in Seattle - 837 N 34th St - https://kiln.com/communities/fremont/
