Cool, but doesn’t seem like a serious threat

People who pollute the earth should have to fix the damage they do. Failing that, they should pay heavy fines.

I want job postings and a way to reach people I worked with.

I absolutely do not want the click bait and slop.

I would recommend sticking with that strategy and working on it. Going too “spicy” too soon is risky, and doesn’t really pay off better than finding someone who clicks with you on medium heat topics like “you saw Caroline rose play?? How was it?”

My girlfriend says that it’s often more about flow than content. A well executed conversation about a common topic will go farther than an awkward foray into “so you ever done coke?”

Some times I’d just ask “so what do you do for fun?”, and then follow up. People usually like talking about their interests. I don’t care nearly so much about their work and family. If they’re huge into metal, or play football in a rec league, I want to know.

If you’re lucky, one of their funs will be something you can talk about.

I’ve known several people who moved from QA and testing to developer roles, but usually as an internal transfer.

Most recruiters and management don’t know shit about fuck when it comes to technical details, so it’s not surprising a lot of them think “Oh the guy who knows how software works and how to handle edge cases? No, we don’t want him”

Fuck test automation, it’s a fucking trap get out of it as soon as you can

lol.

Meanwhile, the org I work at has no test automation, so things that should be trivial require hours of tedious, error-prone, manual testing. Also they break stuff and don’t find out until after it’s merged.

I have no regrets from setting my editor to save-on-blur

Consumables that restore on rest are vastly superior to ones that don’t.

I don’t want to go farm for consumables. I almost never use any of the ones like ember, humanity, divine blessing, weapon buffs. They’re somewhat rare so I don’t use them by default, and then they’re not part of my toolbox.

Unsure if my Text really makes sense tho as its a bunch of Weird Nonsense im typing out as i suck at expressing myself via Text but maybe someone can relate? >.<

Line breaks between paragraphs help. Emojis don’t. Writing is a skill you can practice, so don’t give up.

To your point, maybe you’re just getting older? There’s always been a small number of breakouts and a bunch of clones and shovel-ware. When you’re a kid, things are new and unlimited in their potential. As you get older, you realize that the game world is limited

I find the step- stuff unappealing but this doesn’t seem like a good use of government power.

It enables unskilled people to punch above their weight class, similar to giving a chainsaw to a toddler.

I’ve used them a little for coding, but it’s not always correct. It’s often incorrect in subtle ways. Or inefficient in non obvious ways. It gets worse as you build more.

Often it’s better overall to do it yourself if you know what you’re doing. If you stick to letting the LLM do it, you won’t learn much.

I don’t think I’ve blocked anybody, but I mostly don’t read names. Sometimes I wonder if I’m having a metaphorical fist fight in one thread and a love fest in another with the same person.

Guy at work did a whole mini project with just LLMs and prompting. I asked him some questions about how it works and some implementation details, and he had no idea. Great. I’m going to have to maintain this thing, probably.

Ehh. I would nullify

Hm. Okay. Seems like a good vector for public health stuff. Free condoms, testing, education, etc.

It’s eclipsed (no pun intended) by the horrors of war, disease, and conservatism. It’s hard to be excited about the moon when there’s measles outbreaks and at least one genocide.

Good. Windows is all of bad, expensive, and untrustworthy

I found Castle Rat when they opened for The Well a bunch of years back. Had no idea what to expect, but they really killed it. Been a fan ever since.

Anyone who voted for trump has it coming. There were no credible reasons to believe he would be a good president. Republican policies are all bad.
