Not sure where you are located but meetup.com groups are pretty good these days. Then again I’m after middle aged cat ladies these days. YMMV.

I was working for a law firm when they did that to us. The letter they got sent back was hilarious.

I'm specialising myself in doing what AI can't, which is cleaning up disasters, some of which were caused by AI so far. I haven't let anything atrophy other than my enthusiasm which is fixed by money fairly quickly. Well it&#

I subjectively judge that as shit.

I don’t use any AI agents to write code. I spend most of my time undoing shit shows left by people who do.

Yep. Was a Microsoft dev from 1992 until 2017. Won’t touch them now because I spent my entire career rewriting rug pulls. It paid off a mortgage and fed me well but it was a bad outcome for my orgs and customers. If anyone remembers WCF&#x2

You know what actually helps? Meeting people, going on dates, not being a creepy mofo and actually having something to talk about. That dialogue is worse than an anime pillow humping discord moderator.

A good analogy. I always felt a little dirty using VScode. Back to tmux, vim a few months back like it has been for the last 20 odd years.

I am not loyal to my employer. I am loyal to doing competent work. If our goals align, then we will get on. Any gaslighting or bullshit past that will be fucked off instantly.

I spend most of my time fixing that shit.

Oh come on it takes longer to work out how to prompt it to say it how you want it then check the output than it does to write a short email already. And we’re talking micro optimisation here. I mean I’ve sent 23 emails this year. Yeah that’

Screw that these days. I drive a 2014 French compact POS rather than my old 2018 Model S now. It actually works properly and over its entire lifetime, including fuel, it'll cost less than the depreciation of the Model S while I owned i

I imagine my BAE stock will rise yet again. 48% YTD. Least meme stock out there. Well that and Rheinmetall. Sad situation really.

I see the model of "download any old shit off the internet and run it in production" is working out so well.

You mean brush off the bits where he’s breaking the law right? You know the laws that were there because once they weren’t and things broke.

Was in my local gym trying to set up a membership and someone was in there screaming that it’d be easier to “burn the gym to fucking ashes” than cancel the sub. Turns out the cancellations person was only there on a Tuesday at 10AM or somet

Yeah. I remember the big hoo haw on here a few years back that Satya turning up was the table turning event that would fix all evils. Literally rainbow unicorn shit levels of brigading. I got downvoted to oblivion for suggesting we hold off

Can’t wait for their shitty half baked software to break something critical hanging off the same bus as the cameras. (Ex model S owner - would never touch another thing they went near again)

MtG is not effective. Married an MtG player and had 3 kids.

Sample size 3 here and they are all adults and all STEM grads. You have to push them, but push them right. That's a combination of coercion and encouragement and helping them avoid procrastination. There are hills to climb and they nee

UML never matched reality and this isn’t really an engineering discipline even if we pretend it is. You can really break UML by specifying a system then changing it a number of times. That process will hurt you. Badly.

Generally best to have some redundancy there. My ass has been saved more times by an iPhone compass and offline OrganicMaps than the other way round. Quote the situation a couple of years back where the state issued paper maps were complete

Huh. I did an entire second degree remotely. It definitely did not suck.

I just plug my iphone into my mac and drag the files into VLC. Last thing I want to do is make things even more complicated or have to maintain and pay for my own homebrew spotify.

Unfortunately I was seduced by the iPod years ago. I ripped then sold mine and the ex-wife's CD collection totalling some 1800 albums years ago. Then went streaming and as about 99% of that was covered, deleted it all because I couldn&

Not surprised. Spotify crapping out constantly and songs disappearing drove me away from streaming. So in 2023 I stopped paying for streaming services entirely and have gone back to actually buying CDs and ripping them or hitting bandcamp f

I’ve seen an independent commissioned analytics report that surveyed a fairly large panel of users across several sectors about their usage. It’s not ChatGPT specifically but all services. It doesn’t become heavily integrated into people’s

Technical people yes. Everyone else doesn’t even know the difference. They don’t even know copilot is a chat bot or LLM. And there aren’t enough technical people on the planet to pay those bills.
