I find there are still opportunities to solve puzzles. Claude Code might build something in an unsatisfying or inelegant way, and you can suggest a better approach. You can absolutely write core components — the fun parts you crave — of the

I think it’s important for you to understand that there were always way more people who loved programming than were able to work professionally as high-level coders. Sure, if you spent most of your working life writing code, you’d be very p

Yes: I'm 57 and my heartrate rarely goes over 150. ~135bpm is "run a 5k twice a week" pace, only maintained for 30 mins, and resting heart rate is ~50

Any sufficiently interesting project won't be generated with a couple of commands though: you can still think about systems, about the _right_ way to do something. Then you can document your understanding and hand it to Claude Code to

You are 100% right that we _should_ be focusing on reducing emissions, but the reason we would prefer to capture-and-sequester is... money. We make money by emitting C02, and it looks like we will also pay to have it captured again. Is this

I'm sorry this happened to you/Jenn. I lost my brother to a heart attack aged 50, but he died immediately. In the end it was very quick, but he had warning signs for years. Look after yourselves, people.

We have a similar, Murdoch-owned newspaper, The Australian. The news is actually OK, but the editorials and the choice of front-page headlines are some of the most tendentious conservative bullshit you can imagine.
