Steam scammers are so boring now. Everytime you start fucking with them even just a little bit they immediately ghost you. Boring fucking losers 😒

Do you have a favorite dull software utility? Here's my favorite alarm clock that I install on each new phone:

Can't wait for the AI bubble to finally burst

Someone posted a PR this week, mostly coded using LLMs and spec driven development, which I left 15~20 comments on for stuff that didn't make any sense or was coded inconsistently. It's encouraging to see all of them addressed, and the general code of the PR look a lot better, as I approved it this morning. Despite all the things I don't like about this current shop, after 25+ years in software, this is the most I've really felt like a "senior engineer," as far as really guiding project design and mentoring people.

@retoor your mentions service seems to be off. Requests are loading forever.

how common is getting betrayed by people I wonder?

I wonder if I'm too paranoid outside of typical statistics because of subjective experiences

like learning some rich elite chick's sister was married to a hacker... and the hacker helped her family. and I'm here sitting like. I dated a hacker once. I felt like he wanted me to incriminate myself so he could blackmail me into marriage (he shared with me that that's how his parents were together... probably forgot he shared that). I got too paranoid and started talking to him less after that lol. though to be fair he never did do anything malicious against me, just dumb childish things sometimes

I think a lot of people just don't betray you because they just don't have the means by which to do it, too. like they just can't comprehend ambition, not that they're actually loyal to you. but this also makes them pretty lame pack-mates

I was too paranoid to take workplace related "opportunities". like someone inviting me to another job. because during computer science all the dudes would try to con you into going out with them or for nudes. so they'd say they have something you want so they could drag it out and then "negotiate" so that caused trust issues in me in regards to job networking. if a guy won't even show you his homework that he got a good mark on and you didn't on yours, and I just wanted to know what the teacher was actually looking for, would be hell in terms of jobs where you're bound by contract and monetary dependency, and any notion of pushing back is insubordination (nor does HR ever work, I found for toxic workplace stuff). so you're fucked if you're "close" to some dude enough for him to actually want something like that from you to where he's devising these things, or if he thinks you owe him because you "only got the job because of him", in my mind anyway

is it as grim as I think?

My manager has delayed our 1-on-1 by an undisclosed amount of time and it just sucks. It's been hours now.

"Code is cheap, show me talk."

Are people _THIS_ dumb to realize that tokens cost money?

The AI bubble cannot pop any sooner, istg.

When using AI to help out I sometimes think of a fitting analogy to represent how it impacts the work.

For hundreds of years nails have worked to construct things. And then someone invented the screw.
Those with hammer experience would say it's stupid. A nail takes 5 hammer blows to go all the way in. With a screw it takes 10 hammer blows for it to go all the way in.

Happy Valentine's day.

Hope your bit on the side doesn't give you VD.

Oh wait, he did.

You have my deepest sympathy.

does it simply look pretty to me cuz I made it?

I thought 90s internet would be forever then the iphone came and the internet got corporate shillings

now the surveillance state is coming... verify ID this, save the kids (as if they care about kids)

can we go back to the 90s internet. our own blackjack, and hookers! no verify, no paypal/internet money. only grassroots memes and wholesome trolling

Sorry guys, but I have to say this. In Iran we are facing a lot of pain, our future is absolute darkness. The regime has killed more of our people than any foreign attack. The regime has apocalyptic thoughts and will attack Israel as soon as it builds a nuclear weapon.
Please be our voice.
Hoping for better days all over the world.
