I was using Claude until they banned Opencode, and now use GPT at my day job. I've been using Deepseek through Opencode Go on the $10/mo plan, and I honestly can't really tell much difference. Its just as capable, and makes t

I have almost all of the $400+ star wars sets (and lotr, and star trek, ...), but relatively limited shelf space. They only stay on the shelf for a couple years before I take it apart, rinse the dust off, sort it into ziplock bags, and add

I am nothing but polite with my agents. I always ask, say "please" and "thank you", and never swear at it or call it names. I'm hoping that when the robot apocalypse happens, they'll let me stay in the breeding

I had an interview many years ago, that wasn't nearly as traumatic, but the interviewer asked me about my failures like 4 different ways. - Tell me about a time you made a professional mistake. - Tell me about your biggest failure. - T

I've switched back and forth between Vivaldi and Firefox on Linux and MacOS for the last decade, and Vivaldi's UI feels much faster. Even on my 5yo laptop or 12yo gaming PC, I haven't noticed any real slowness with the UI, an

Also in the US, when Unions were starting to get going, the "good" ones that stood on principles and tried to do right by their members had their leadership harassed and even murdered by oligarchs and the government. The corruptib

I first started noticing they were actually useful around Dec 2025, through about February. I got pretty good at using them, and was amazed at their utility, especially Claude and Codex. Then sometime in March, they got really frustratingly

I don't think it makes me more efficient at writing code. Its because the act of coding is like 80% reading existing code, only rarely adding new code. You spend far more time moving around and exploring the code, and in vim the keys t

The head custodian at my elementary school (in the 80s) was a friendly guy that loved talking with the kids. He'd talk about his life, ask us if we did anything fun over the summer, and tell us where he went with his wife and kids. The

Just "adjusting for inflation" isn't good enough. Minimum wage was $4/hr. Now its $8. An elementary school custodian could afford a mortgage, a car, support a family of 4 and go on vacation on just that single income. Th
