Thanks for saying this. There is such a badge of honour about being some misanthropic hermetic introvert that bandies about online. Some people are more extroverted than others, sure. But interacting with people is vital to human's hea

I think most people who cannot learn most of these skills between the ages of 12-21 (when it's perfectly socially acceptable to fuck up to varying degrees, since literally everyone is learning), are probably neurodivergent. In which ca

I had no friends for the majority of high school. I still often find it hard to make friends. I would not have said I didn't have opportunities to practice social skills. Like, I still spoke to people every day. It might take some long

Right? And even if you are in such a dire position that you literally have no oppurtunity to speak to people irl - that's bad. You need to be helped to leave that situation immediately, not given an LLM. You can literally die from neve

Another episode of "what convoluted way can we use tech to 'solve' a social issue that it clearly exacerbates to try and desperately keep the blind cult-like silicon valley version of techno-optimism alive for as long as poss

Sure, its sorta cool and promising for technology in the future. But as of now, we don't know how badly it might fuck up the other 78% of cases. If it fucks up like 50% of cases so badly that it takes more time for the devs to fix than

22% is a hilariously low percentage to use as a tagline. I do hope it gets better.

That would be really cool to do. One of the reasons I became a dev is cos I used to work for customer service in a games company and I was frustrated with the fact that there were ongoing bugs that I could've fixed if I was in the dev

This is the most robot human post I've ever seen. As others have said, stop thinking about yourself and even about a business as the priority. Get a reality check that business is not life. Support him, talk to him. Then come to an agr

Bro even people like me don't turn up to the office if there aren't mandatory days cos nobody can be arsed to go to an office where there's noone there and they haven't built a relationship with their colleagues anyway.

Did you read my reply. You are objectively wrong and I explained now. Your fish culture is caused by the industrialisation of food, which is what makes you think only salmon is good. Your point would only be valid if salmon was universally

This is such a narrow-minded view. The reason you think that is because you're from a country that lacks fish culture, where very few fish dishes are served. In Japan or Italy, they eat every single type of sea creature that could poss

Big salmon (I say that in a somewhat tongue-in-cheek way) seems to have a chokehold on all food suppliers. I swear salmon makes up 90% of the fish I see sold almost anywhere apart from a specialised fishmonger. I find it really wierd

Thanks. I definitely don't live to work. As I said, definitely not a type-A, workaholic who loves office surveillance. I barely care about work at all. But I do have to spend most of my life doing it. And what it provides to me is rout

I feel sorry for you that you live in the US. I don't. I've heard from colleagues from my (lovely) office that when they go to the US office the work culture feels so toxic. Sounds bad, mate. I think you proved my point that WFH b

I have never worn shoes at home, that's for sure. Not into barefoot shoes though. I'm not really sure why it is for me. If it's to do with calf muscles, I guess we could attribute it that my mother never learned how to drive

When I worked remote I lost my sanity for sure. I really need to have some human interaction in the workplace to be able to keep morale up and to not feel incredibly isolated just as a human being. I think remote work is unnatural.

Funnily, as a brit, I have always had the ability to sit in a deep squat comfortably and it's not even from tons of practice. I only even realised that its unusual to be able to do and that it may be good for you when I was about 21. B
