If you are integrating with an LLM like #gemma3 that supports function calling by passing whatever it hands you to `eval()`... never forget to filter out the globals and locals. A call to `eval()` without limited scope where user (or agent) input is being evaluated is a very bad idea.

Computers bring the ideosphere to life through quantized instructions that themselves are ideas.

I think one of the reasons that people find me charming is the juxtaposition of my aggressive style and my kind and considerate demeanor and soft features. I seem to attract a lot of people with protective instincts who want to shelter me.

Costco is a really popular subject for business-success case studies but I feel like business guys kinda lose interest when the upshot of the study is like "just operate with scrupulous integrity in all facets and levels of your business for four decades" and not some easy-to-fix gimmick

Spending the weekend at a kink fest in Portland. I can't hear or see the world burning when I'm five miles into subspace.

I know I'm risking deadlines and egg on people's faces when I put my foot down over something, but there are some compromises I'm not willing to make wrt software quality and security.

You’re stronger than you think 🐇💗

a court has officially ruled that transgender people can have warrior ethos

Someone tell Vedal there's a problem with my AI.

I want to feel soft and vulnerable but safe and confident too

I'm a deeply damaged and mildly deranged individual but my heart is pure and my intentions are crystal clear

[trans] [sub] stantiation, just sayin

I wish someone would give me headpats and treats every time I did a code good

(Boosts encouraged!) Hi! 👋 I’m Kat. I’ve been a professional dev for over 15 years. I maintained the NPM CLI for 5 of those. I sat in TC39. I work at Microsoft. I’m self taught w/a film degree and no formal CS edu. Are you new to tech? What do you wish you could ask some1 like me? Literally AMA

I'm working on mentally reconciling my want to be more vulnerable with the trauma of my past. I've spent so many years holding back my deepest thoughts from the people I care about. I regret the time lost, but also am looking forward to trying again.

Stop advocating for trans people by referring to us as canaries in the coal mine. The whole point of the canary is that it's an acceptable sacrifice to protect the people who actually matter. We are not a *warning sign*. We are real people. Our lives and rights matter in and of themselves.

No amount of shoving them in my face is going to make me want to interact with your AI tools any more than I already do, which is to say sparingly and with crystal clear intent. I do not intend to mindlessly integrate AI agents into my life. Instead, I will take a nuanced approach, as I usually do
