Appreciated this storytelling, it exposes some real procedural knowledge about using the Internet Archive.

The prompt is the code :) The code is like a compiled binary. How long until we put the prompts in `src/` and the code in `bin/`, I wonder...

Consider your biases about the word "hobby". It's easy to average way more than 40 hours per week on a hobby, and to spend those hours with as much deadly seriousness as the hours …

But you can be a software dev even if you do not work in software dev. Plenty of those individuals in open source, for example.

...ChatGPT? Such an odd take, to point at weather being variable. This is a coastal city at a fairly run-of-the-mill latitude, people build functional bike networks in much worse.

A discussion is held between people who don't (initially) believe each other. Nothing odd about it.

Not clear in your example if you have a to-dont list, or just decide "don't" in the moment.

You mean... an aha list?

There are tan-thru clothes, if you want to be serious about it.
