sort this d (gestures rudely at the concept of llms)

Not the same, but I switched to tea mostly for aesthetic reasons, and after a brief adjustment period, I'm finding it a lot more fun an varied than coffee drinking. And easier to find v low caffeine, or tasty 0 caffeine teas of as many varieties as you can imagine.

I'll still have a social coffee every now and then, but anyway I'd recommend it, at least to check out. It's like discovering scotch after a lifetime of beer drinking.

Haha it looks that way doesn't it. Hopefully those are scoped and limited 😳

But at what cost 😔

Yeah I can't feel good about that kind of stuff anymore (it's the same thing in my field with IaC - Infrastructure as Code). Even if I agree that these are good ideas, it all comes down to being able to treat workers like interchangeable cogs rather than people who can amass knowledge and expertise over time.

Then the dream: that you could sell an entire skeleton of a company with none of the old workers clinging to the bones, and another team of replaceable workers could just slot themselves in place and start making money for investors!

I'm not sure it'll ever get that extreme, but it's not ethics that is blocking it from happening, but material reality.

So yeah, fuck the docs.

Wow I would not haha that is a lot of trouble and waste, but I'm glad you got a good deal. I'm hoping to put off 4k for as long as I can, but it seems to be rapidly becoming the new standard

You're not making that up? That sounds, like... evil

They ripped off Stanley Parable!

Maybe not just poor people this time! Don't really even need a working class at all if there's no work to be done

I mean it's not entirely a joke, but by "we" I mean clickbait articles, like the ones that blamed my generation for spending too much on food and not diamonds

I thought the same thing at 5 years, and everyone I heard from said it was a mistake to lay me off. Last I heard, my responsibilities were being split up between 3 people. On top of that I found out I was getting underpaid, so I was a good deal on top of that :p

Anyway despite all that, I still wasn't part of whatever vision upper management had going forward, so they gave me a sweet severance and sent me on my way. I'm not mad, but it's definitely made me careful not to expect my job to be safe.

Yeah I'm thinking like a daily shave, like just to get stubble, not like clipping any real amount of length. That's closer to a haircut lol

The way I heard it is if your fear keeps you from doing "normal" activities, then it might be a phobia. Like if you won't go for a walk on a trail because you might see a snake

Deep down I've always known this

It's not fun, but doing it before bed also helps in my experience.

Ooh flames hot does look interesting! Thanks, I'll check it out

Was going to say fzf - it's a huge help for so many CLI activities, but especially searching history

That's cool I like how it overlaps with the other traits, and I never got the hate for comic sans when it's used to convey the appropriate tone (break room notice board vs official comms)

:(

When do we get to the part where we start blaming them for everything? Maybe once they've reached median 30s and the world is still fucked?
