I'd say that's a really good souvenir from Tenerife 😅

Tenerife forced me to do a week decaf moment. The coffee is bad and it's just useless to drink it in the place I'm staying right now.

For now I'm super happy with the Luminar mobile app.
Desktop app will be tested more after I get back and use my old Nikon D90.
Maybe I'm gonna get back into photography and finally buy Fuji X-E5. Who knows.

The second app that I'm testing is called Luminar Neo. Lifetime license right now starts from 99 euros and up to 159 (with mobile app and 1 year of presets access, 149 without presets). That's about 12 months of adobe subscriptions.
I've tested the mobile app and desktop app. Both are interesting. Some things to learn about but I'm super tempted to get the license while it's at this price.

And first issue with dxo photolab. It does not talk with dng files from my Samsung. I need to check if I need to use and buy dxo pureraw and photolab to be able to do the same thing as I can with Lightroom 🤷♂️
Bonus pic from Tenerife.
This was created by the local artist with clay. Really awesome.

I've started taking more raw pictures with my phone. I'm using Snapseed as it's free and has most of the things I need to quickly edit a photo.
What I'm starting to be annoyed by is how to manage pictures on my phone 😬
I'll need to take a stab on this topic soon. I might just use localsend/blip apps to backup to laptop and to NAS system I want to create.
Additional picture from yesterday's sunset.

I want to test DxO PhotoLab but it's 25min download with the free wifi in the hotel 😅

I got up early to get to Berlin airport.
Only to see that my flight was 1 hour delayed 🤦♂️

Eh dalej problemy z oddaniem.

Oh I'm not the only one seeing this:
The failure mode that keeps developers anchored to IDE-level inspection is agents being almost right. When something is 90% correct and subtly broken, the cost of finding the issue often exceeds what it would have taken to write it yourself. For high-stakes changes, the IDE remains the best instrument for that kind of deep, precise inspection.
I would expand on this to say that people that were mediocre at coding (on manager levels and higher) now are empowered to generate something and then dump the result on others with expectation that it will be reviewed, merged and pushed to production within hours.
And this does not happen on many occasions. Why ?
I'd say because of couple of things:
Not enough context and poor decision making that the generated code might be causing issues or at least it's not connected with previous decisions. No real planning. I see people wake up and do what came up to their head first. No real plan to finish things that were already opened or follow up on issues as this is already boring to them.
So I see people that are not feeling accountable for their work as it was agent work and they are done with it. Not understanding the decision made in the code but believing that the code is what they wanted.
And in the end this causes huge tension in the company. So if you're in this "I can build things" loop you might be the issue and might be one of those writing "we are shipping 25x faster".

Another hot take on AI.
And that's something I am not great at but I want to create a workflow that it will make me better.
To make AI agents more robust you need to know what you want. If you're gonna change mind too often the code will become crap faster. And making AI to fix I think it will do 2 things:
Produce way worse code quality with way worse bugs hidden inside the domain logic (or security loopholes).The cost will rise as AI will require more tokens to analyse what it produced and fix it.

I think the next big thing in AI will be "how we can make it cheaper".
Companies are eager to spend ten of thousands of USD for AI but not on people.
Based on current state and how everything slowed down I'm gonna say that's a mistake that will be the issue in the long run IMVHO.
I can see the shift on how we build things. But it doesn't make us faster. It makes us the reviewers of what was produced as you cannot blindly believe in the thing it was produced.
Unless you're ok with errors and downtime...
And SecOps is going to have hard time... I can see that the next step is to gather more data and use AI to search for anomalies and patterns that might show that there's issue with the system... The old rules might not be enough and well we as a people will be too slow to find those new types of attack 😬
And normal usage (like hotel booking, banking) is fucked. I already see better attacks.
Oh and this short post was "trigerred" by awesome as always Addy Osmani post here: https://addyo.substack.com/p/death-of-the-ide

Yesterday I was also able to connect my doors LED and button + release mechanism to power.
I did not have details on cables so I had to use detection skills with AI what's what.
In the end everything works and I can buy the panel to put on the wall and connect switches.
After this change I will be able to lock the entry to the house with a simple switch that will disconnect power and the doors will require a key. That's a feature when we are in the house. If we are out we will still lock it with the key.

Over the last 3 days I also did build 3 small sets of Lego that I got.
Finally build Pokemon Center that I got from the insiders program. And build Japanese restaurant and castle.

Can I get OneUI 8.5 please ? It finally has AirDrop support.
Localsend is good replacement but airdrop support is that one missing piece.

So 3 days ago my life installed patch 4.2 on me.
With this patch here's what's changed/upgrade:
Skeptical algorithm is updated. A bunch of bugs fixed.Sarcasm algorithm got upgrade to be more direct and truthful.
New features:
Lack of faith in IT on any level. This also comes with hate to shit building things and nonsense high level talk about nothing.
And other small bug fixes.

Another addition to my desk setup. This is something I'm not 100% certain about but I'm gonna test it.

Also from 12th to 14th of June Pokemon Go Fest is happening in Copenhagen.
I was supposed to go to the Berlin one but I broke a toe so I missed that one.
I'm not playing #PokemonGo like I used to but maybe I should go and have fun ?
Travel tip: If you want to get a cheaper hotel try to book something in Malmo as it's super easy to get from Malmo to Copenhagen by train.

I bought niimbot printer a long time ago. I had an idea on what to use it and today I started this.
So I took pictures of stuff that I have in boxes. I uploaded this to Google Drive and copied the link to the folder.
Then with the app that comes with the printer I have created QR codes, printed them and put on the boxes.
Now with a single scan I can check what I have in those boxes.
Next step: use Gemini to go through those images and create a list.
Finally a good QR code use case.

Next step of my desk setup. Now I have 2 drawers and a monitor stand.
Next step probably next week - drill the hole for cables, mount the power strip and connect everything.

On another note there was a time when I played a lot. PS3 has more boxes than any other console.

In today's episode of "how AI can fuck your company up" we have:
scope creepfeeling that you can do what others can because AI told you that you are a geniuscreating more work for people that need to verify you AI generated things (on top of what those people were supposed to do)more context switching and multitasking (and not this is not good)
