You've gotta be joking. Every AI commit message, summary, and test plan is full of extraneous garbage I didn't need to read (and a lot of it is not understandable)

Having the style guide and proofreading it and linking it is more effort than the lazy slopulists want to put in, so your writing will reach far better than theirs will

I wonder if Amazon can sue the US govt bc they basically caused this material loss to their business. I'm sure they cannot. Maybe a lawyer can explain why?

You can believe what you want. I don't censor bad grammar, but it's not good writing, and it will have negative effects on someone's writing and who will read it. You can have your fingers in your ears or you can adapt.

There's not a direct correlation, but most Americans are not in shape. I run every other day. I use my last years Hokas where the foam and cushioning isn't good enough anymore as my walking shoes and use my current year ones for r

> and a little AI help can't hurt here. Wrong wrong wrong. Bad writing makes the reader stop thinking about what you wanted to convey. As unintuitive as it is for most people in this forum, AI writing smell is as bad as bad grammar.

Is $150 a lot in the grand scheme of hobbies? That'll buy you: - a set of used golf clubs - a couple years of fishing licenses, bait, tackle, used fishing rods and line - a couple really entry level tennis rackets, balls, and court res

Everyone likes to deride idiot MBAs while also enjoying a stock market that returns on avg 8-10% per year vastly outpacing inflation in a developed, stable, wealthy country of all places. It's like that scene from margin call about n

They also have enormous fulfillment services. Shopify doesn't handle that part. They also have video and music streaming. And Kindle Unlimited.

Why is it astounding? They have one of the biggest e-commerce applications in the world. A mobile app for shoppers. A payment system and mobile wallet app. A shipment tracking system. Tax and small business software. They have their own len

No it's absolutely not time to let go. You are one of a limited set of people with pre-AI taste and intuition for good software. They aren't making any more of them. And you'll be a super valuable asset anywhere you go. I mea
