“Captain’s Log, Stardate 41153.7”
There’s something iconic about the way Captain Jean-Luc Picard begins his entries in Star Trek. I fondly remember it.
As a developer, I constantly make decisions, either with or without the help of llms:
- Why did I choose this solution?
- What was the goal I wanted to achieve?
- What alternatives did I consider?
- What bugs did I encounter and how were they resolved?
- Which decision did I make?
However, six months later, you’re staring at code wondering, “What was I (and my LLM) thinking?” 🤭
