Spoiler alert - it's 5X for this.

Or, I might say, why review the PR. Get Claude to do it? Why do I need to spend my time and attention and this person does not?

Ah, yes - the person who comes in at 7AM and gets shit done by 11 is a slacker, and the one in the office just doing nothing after 6PM is the hard worker. Same thing. You can't fix this. Out of sight, out of mind. It is hard-wired into

She was in Jewish underground resistance after she escaped the ghetto, and that movement was responsible for saving a lot of lives. Sure, not a shockingly unique story in WWII, but she did better than these upward fail sons.

Which is ironic because Rae Kushner - his grandmother - is a legend. She has gone through some things. Now her grandson is wrecking Europe. https://www.npr.org/2018/05/04/560224531/trump-stories-kushn...

I can see how my advice could be read the wrong way in this post-shame world. No, I do NOT mean "be an asshole if you feel like it". I mean it more in the latter sense - take a vacation, go to Pompey. Say hello to the girl you lik

As I always say - do what you will regret NOT doing once you are old.

They made a movie about people like you in the 90s, called "Clueless": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ld_TueiQiQo&t=105s

The fact that you think it's "sad" is a dead giveaway in terms of what you value in life and what you consider a virtue.

If I can - I avoid NPM completely and just go with no-build projects.

Why would you want to signal that? It relates in no way as to what kind of person you are. In fact, the richer you are, the more questions I have about how you got it and who got shafted along the way.

I have serious doubts that Meta is aiming to improve these products. Every time I open Instagram - ironically of course - it just seems like more and more AI slop.

Scala to the rescue, then! :)

For one function, yes. I used Copilot to do massive refactoring on my project recently - switch to a new JSON library, completely switch web frameworks, etc. The stuff I needed to do but was putting off forever. And even with small things,

Everything has faster cycles. Also, Labubu is ugly. It's a bad knockoff of the Soviet character Cheburashka.

You mean the same people who want to destroy the fabric of civilization - norms, caring for one another, feeling shame - also care deeply about us? REALLY... It's the same as Elon Musk "worrying" about saving humans and then

+1 for HTMX+ Alpine. Ironically, this goes well with LLMs, where you can nail down the patterns and then the clanker can follow them. There is nothing wrong with using clankers for fast typing.

The whole idea of trans-humanism, so beloved by VCs and the AI cult, seems borderline psychopathic to me.

I think NFTs were this niche thing only crypto people were dealing. It was not a wide cultural phenomenon. I bet the majority of the population don't know what it is.

Perhaps beanie babies is an example that we actually know about.

50% I think is kind of low, but it will be definitely higher. These people are not deep thinkers in the first place - and they will succumb to cognitive surrender pretty quickly.

LLMs are life-changing for a dev who has been writing code for 20+ years (because I am tired of it). Outside of AI's impact on software, which is massive, the biggest change that we are going to see, I think, is the crushing amount of

Didn't ALL Waymos at once pulled over recently because it started raining? This ain't Arizona - Atlanta has REAL weather.

Of course it can be, but it's overeager. No matter what your context window is, we will use AI collectively to flood the zone with shit.

It will notice things that humans may have missed. That said - it can only work off the body of work SOMEONE did in the past.

The plan can change with the right amount of money. Just ask OpenAI.

I am very happy self-hosting Vaultwarden. I got really tired of being a refugee of one password manager or the next. Either the price goes up, or the service goes away. I am looking at YOU - Dropbox.
