I do something similar. But I make sure the LLM doesn't know I wrote the post. That way the LLM is not sycophantic.

It is. I've worked at a huge website that relies on ads. Ads trump any good UX.

Everything is long winded these days: books, recipes, podcasts, videos, blogs, etc. Even with tiktoks, they try to use the maximum amount of time for their content.

Season 2 is very important, especially the first half. I feel that one episode of season 2 is probably one of the best episode of the whole series. But yeah, trying to get through …

The usual: - Meditation - Exercise - Good sleep - Good diet - Therapy (when needed). IMO, I consider meditation the most important. I spend the most amount of my waking time doing …

You can enjoy it without having to really focus on the details. Seasons 1-1.5 was good. The last half of season 2 is terrible. You can slog your way through it if you want to get a…

I had conservative in-laws, who lived through the 80's unions, indoctrinate me into the anti-union view by portraying all unionized workers as lazy. They believed Unions are the so…

I agree with you to some extent. There are exceptions like your examples. There are probably others who do have strong passions where they obsess over their art and still want to m…

It depends on the person, their stage in life, and many other factors why people do what they do. I went through something similar. I had to choose between chasing my passion or se…

That's probably one part. But a young, hip, professional like this author (based on his writing, that's what he seems like) probably doesn't want to live in a suburb in Ohio, even …

I’m a backend dev. To learn a new language, I’ll make some CRUD app with REST endpoints with some form of authentication. I’ll pick the popular web framework, database library, jso…

I also taught myself HTML around 95 or 96. I think I even used one of the books the OP mentioned and used Notepad to write my source. I knew one dude who ran a local ISP and connec…

Squeaky wheel gets the grease.

I think the cryptic nature of Soulsborne games don't work in Open World. Like some of the side quests are near-impossible to complete without a wiki (unless you get very lucky). Fo…

Not corn syrup. He probably ate well while he was vacationing in Europe. Exercise doesn't really burn as much calories as people think. I did similar things where I probably had 10…

When we didn't use JIRA or similar apps, I had a hard time remembering as well. But with JIRA I look at the ticket I'm working on (and the ticket is displayed on the screen) and sa…

I was like that until I played Bloodborne and just bashed my head against the wall and grinded through the first boss (who was extremely difficult). Afterwards the game "clicks," a…

I live in an area with Joros. I don't mind spiders at all. But these joros are a pest. They take over literally everything. They will cover all your porches, trees, etc. with their…

Not sure of the validity of the article. But in my experience, my friends and colleagues who vent a lot seem to vent all the time. It seem like their venting is fueling whatever th…

I've been in teams with just developers, being siloed from non-programmers, with a technical manager. It still becomes a status meeting. We can tell them DSU aren't supposed to be …

Professional stuff maybe. But for casual ones, you can edit in the phone and upload. I'm thinking there's a lot more of that going on than professional productions.

It's true about content creation. Tiktok, Youtube, Instagram, etc. are done using mainly smartphones. There's a ton of content created on smartphones than he realize. Heck, there a…

his painting looked exactly like the photo. So it's like a painted version of the photo. It was very realistic. And like I mentioned, the craft of painting was great. But he took t…
