Direct quote (not by me): Important limitation: Subsequent verification found that 57% of the second-pass agent descriptions did not match the actual PRs. Agents fabricated plausible-sounding descriptions for PRs they did not read carefully. 13 PRs cited by agents do not exist or are closed. #ugh

You can’t make this stuff up: Started up Android Studio to continue work on a thing, tapped “build” and, nope! Java error. Turns out my kernel upgrade the other day was not compatible with the JDK I’m using (!?), Maybe JDK v17 is a little old, and Gradle 8.13 is not the newest #dev #android #upgrade

In the “should do this more often” department, had tickets to see Brandon Sanderson and Joe Abercrombie yesterday. Queued an hour outside the Emmanuel Centre for good seats, excellent talk. Touristed a bit after. QOTD: “Ideas look so shiny before you start working on them” #goodbooks

morning walk: floofy malamute, old staffy, and helped a driver manoeuver out of a parking space (methinks she needs more cameras :)

Warmest it’s been this year! Spent some time in the garden enjoying the 17C sunshine, and battling ivy versus tree. Here’s a buddleia bush which refuses to be beaten back, next to a (Cherry I think) tree which the ivy is trying to reclaim and is also still alive somehow under the ivy.
