Creatives have always found inspiration from what they consume (AI has nothing to do with it). My partner writes, and eventually gets to the point where she has to take a break fro…

I have done exactly that before with a company, but they hadn't ghosted me. But this is about them ghosting you. So presumably even if you ask them this they don't get back to you,…

You could be waiting to hear back from one company before telling another company that may have extended an offer yes or no, and it can take a while before you determine if you're …

Maybe there's a bit more to a company and its software than the quantity of code it generates? And maybe there's a built in moat that a lot of these companies have that takes a lot…

The worst that's happened, that I'm aware of, is I made a change with A.I. that I didn't realize broke something else (that I wasn't even aware our reports supported, it was new to…

My Yahoo Mail had all my emails from when I was in college on it (back when people used to chat with each other via email, also AIM). I still used it sometimes for collecting junk …

Same!

There are older structures and artifacts than 250 years, they're just not European in origin. Like Cahokia Mounds in Illinois: https://cahokiamounds.org/ Arrowheads are an example …

> Executive pay might seem astronomical, but it is often commensurate with the level of stress and responsibility involved. I call bull on that. Employees often have just as much s…

Video Games: - Donkey Kong Country 1&2 on SNES - Yoshi's Island on SNES - Picross 3D: Round 2 on 3DS - Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening on original Game Boy - Proximity (old Flash…

I've been a software nerd all my life (and there was a time where I worked 60 hours a week at a startup working hard to make mobile games), but there's just been so much extra crap…

I've definitely had a lot of these same experiences (in fact I've been fighting it on one particular issue the past couple of days and I'm pretty much just giving up and going back…

My main card game lately has been the Legendary system of games, in particular the Marvel version (although I did just order the James Bond version this morning too after playing t…

I would. I don't sell on eBay because it's a hassle to manage all the rest of it. So I end up taking it to a place like Half-Price Books instead and get hardly anything, but at lea…

Yeah I work from home. Except for 1-2 short zoom calls a day or talking with my wife, who also works from home, I can go pretty much the whole week without talking to anyone. I try…

Agree with you for my day job (which is coding corporate web app), for sure. I'm still letting A.I. drive more nowadays, but it does feel less fulfilling than it used to. But for m…

The defensive code is getting to me (it's adding a ton of bloat) and I'm trying to fight it but I'm not sure how best to word it. What I've attempted hasn't worked too well so far.…

Have you tried Blue Prince? It's got some similarities (it's basically Myst + a spatial puzzle + modern drafting/resource management board game). And you don't have the time elemen…

Why don't you ask the students how much they love doing that. I'm sure they'll have nothing but nice things to say.

> However that is because cars have gotten more aerodynamic so fewer insects are hitting the windshield. According to this research the opposite is true: "The survey of insects hit…

Personally, I prefer Claude for coding, but I still prefer ChatGPT for hashing out ideas for my projects (which tend to be game designs). So I use both.

I'm on the other side of this, in that I attend a lot of these. I made a big effort about 12 years ago to go to a bunch of these (like three meetups a week and trying out a variety…

I used to get so many comments about how the computer opponent in a tile-based board game of mine cheats and got all the high numbers while they always got low numbers, and I'd be …

I don't have to check the source code to know that for me it's a skill issue :/

I run Claude Sonnet 4.6 via Github Copilot and it seems very reasonable to me there. I just create an issue and assign it to Copilot and then hop into its session and sometimes red…
