Of the models I've tried lately, I get more value out of Gemini for personal stuff like researching products or learning how to do things than the others. It seems more factually c…

For most of my waking hours, my phone is sitting next to me on my desk, couch, or table. Carplay has my back when I'm driving. I honestly don't miss any of the notifications from m…

I set expectations with my team that it's only an emergency if I call or page them. I don't have Slack notifications on in my personal time, I don't expect my team to either.

After wearing an analog watch for two years, I'll never buy another smart watch. I do not need to be so connected to my phone that my wrist vibrates when someone texts me. The litt…

On the flip side, I've been using them for years with no issues. I jam pack them full of filthy dishes and they come out perfectly clean every time. I use high quality detergent, r…

Shitty startup idea of the day: pay developers $0.05 per commit message to inject an ad at the end of it in a git commit hook. [PRJ-123] Fix the prod bug. This commit brought to yo…

It's so bad. This happens to me on a weekly basis: "Get directions to " "Getting directions to "

Or they'll leave their services open to Greece. They don't have a physical presence there and aren't subject to their laws.

Cocaine and crack are also Schedule 2.

Why do you need an M5 to run Cursor and a browser? Your laptop isn't doing anything in your described workflow.

Maybe it's an excellent experience these days, but every time I've tried Linux on desktop over the past 25 years I get burned. Maybe it works for a while, then your NIC driver gets…
