No need to leave, move up north and wait for all the shenanigans to blow over. Hard to be annoyed at the government and the corporations when you're walking through the Yorkshire dales on a sunny day

You're absolutely right! It was an oversight of me to give you the full, unredacted details of every individual who has complained about the new legislation being proposed. I'll correct that now and send you the redacted version!

Yes I pay for the most expensive Claude sub with my own money and use it at work. I also have to use it via a proxy server I set up to get around the corporate firewall which explicitly blocks it. The company like the results but wouldn&#x2

CC very regularly ignores very explicit stuff in CLAUDE.md for me, and I know I'm not the only one. The cycle of compacting/starting new conversations feels like a sisyphean spiral of the same undesirable behaviour and I've y

You know something is a good idea when you're surprised it hasn't already been invented. This is one of those (assuming it actually hasn't I guess). Really handy little tool. Nice one

yeah (as became a theme really until we were acquired and it was no longer an issue) we didn't get past procurement as we failed some sort of due diligence check(s). Can't actually remember what it was specifically in that case, l

Same experience from pretty much the same time. I ran a relatively small web consultancy at the time and we were in the middle of trying to specialise in the new, more complex things people were starting to build on the web. We had the pote

Rings true for me. Always the sign that you've found someone you can be good friends with when you feel that sense of comfort I always used to say about my wife in the early days: "being with you feels like being by myself" (

I think it depends on one's goals maybe. Big communities are more diverse and easier to find like-minded people. Good if you want to blend in whilst being part of a subculture. However, if the point is to stand out/be different th

I'd go slightly further than "pretty harsh". It was basically ethnic cleansing. Albeit an incomplete and fairly moderate one as these sorts of genocidal things go

I wrote a really similar thing only a few weeks earlier than you also using bubbletea: https://github.com/ceuk/git-file-history I wonder if we were influenced by the same things. Did you also want something to plug the

Can you expand on the idea that slave labour is "vastly less efficient"? Is it just a motivation thing? And is there any good evidence/sources for this? Surely both groups generally performed pretty extreme levels of backbrea

Superficial and banal. Sorry. Thinkers like Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, or even modern existentialists have far more interesting things to say on the nature of ambition, the search for meaning, and the human condition. Is a surface-level analys

High dimensionality, more granular interpretation/models of the world. More conscious/deliberate behaviour, less benefit from neurological canalisation. I don't think you're seeing ineptitude, I think you're seeing

Came here to say the same thing, seems like a bit of a glaring thing to not address since I imagine "isn't it being a parent as opposed to being pregnant" is probably one of the first questions a lot of people would ask

Assuming this is a genuine question and not just intellectual posturing the obvious answer if you've ever spoken to.. most people.. is that a lot of the (admittedly somewhat simple) concepts in the book are for whatever reason, not par

Yeah, very badly worded sorry. It's almost always at your "probationary review" when you either lose your job or get your position confirmed (or your probation extended in some cases). Completely agree with your comment about

Basically, once you've worked somewhere in the UK for 2+ years you generally have some statutory/default protections. One of which is a set of laws around unfair or "constructive" dismissal[1]. e.g. if we had a falling o

So I made a very vague comment about it being more tricky to get rid of employees in the UK. If you think it's not actually that hard as "it takes a bit more legal work", great.. but we still seem to generally agree. It'

What an interesting difference, I had no idea. Seems like a good system given the context in the US. Classic American hands off approach that it's more of an unspoken rule than legislation etc :) But anyway, in many ways I can see a sy

In the UK (and most other places with fairly strong employee protections I imagine) it becomes pretty difficult to get rid of employees once they've been around for a while. Often involving a lengthy "managing out" process. G

I totally understand the pseudo-autistic disgust/anger at inaccurate statements. I imagine a lot of us programmers are very sensitive to them in a discipline where small inaccuracies can have big consequences and I myself am easily irk
