I may be an outlier but I don't really mind being shown a relatively short ad before watching something. I'm almost never really paying attention yet anyways. Like yes, I'd prefer it not to exist but it doesn't cause me

This. I hate interviewing. I hate having to "learn" new people and corporate processes. I like being able to rely on intuition I've built up over time, both about my colleagues and the products. Bouncing from place to place c

Same. It’s hard to understand today, but in a world where search engines weren’t really a thing and almost no one knew what the internet was, the concept of “public” was quite different. Yes, I should have known better in my teenage years a

This was the problem I saw. I installed rtk when it came out and liked the idea of it. But over time with newer model generations I kept seeing the model get confused in the reasoning text and retry a command bypassing rtk. I didn't ev

This sounds great until you've seen an AI generated & maintained repo go wildly off the rails and need to step in afterwards to fix it. Turns out some of those things still matter.

The problem is it's often the devs themselves who request the siloing. I used to assume otherwise, as I think the way you do. And then I had a lot of my devs rebelling because I was keeping them from their "real work" by havi

This has been my hope. Relase one, say "oops no market", and then come back several years later

I suspect the story is that next year when the AirPods Pro 4s come out it'll be more clear.

The flip side is I used to be the person that upgraded every year. Meanwhile I'm now sitting here with the most recent mini model and HODLing. I realize its' a drop in the bucket for them, it's their loss that I no longer pur

I've been hoping that the folded size would be roughly that of a mini, and perhaps I could be wasteful and get the foldable phone and always keep it folded. But this doesn't sound promising.

I've been using this for a couple of months and it is hit or miss. It'll make actual high quality suggestions at times. But the thing it's missing is the *actual* experience that makes its namesake persona. There's no se

Given the GOP doesn't even bother covering up the Trump is senile thing, perhaps the Dems could have tried the same tactic.

I mean, nearly all of my produce, meat, and dairy from a handful of small, local farms. They're all organic, focus on "happy animals", all that. I'll shift to a strict vegan diet once everyone else abandons their giant m

Unfortunately if one asks "who is the cause of the corruption" you'd see two very strong modes in the data, and therein lies the issue regarding fixing things.

It's not always that simple. I was deep in debt for most of my 20s & 30s, and the interest rate on that debt was higher than I'd have gotten by socking it away. While somewhat avoidable in retrospect, I don't believe my s

The problem is that anyone can type "I have this problem, plz fix" into Claude Code. What unique insight or skill did they bring to the process? That's the interesting part. Otherwise it's just a small part of a huge sea

This is part of what I don't understand about the new narrative. I agree in principle that yes, the mechanical act of writing code was always the real bottleneck. But people act like all you have to do is carefully plan everything out

There are effectively 2 schools of thought on this. One states that more junior people will excel. Younger people tend to be more hip to new tech trends, more natively immersed in changing times. And the contemporary AI tools eradicate any

Eh, the "it's impossible to change later!" line is the classic one for any of these types of conversations. My experience over the decades has been that while yes, this can happen, it's grossly outweighed by YAGNI-in-ret
