You should take this as a sign, and shoot for SWE jobs - given your interest. What you do at work today doesn't mean you can't switch to a related ladder.
Sometimes it’s nice for hobbies to remain hobbies
Interesting article. Bizarrely it makes me wish I’d used Pocket more! Tangentially, with LLMs I’m getting very tired with the standard patter one sees in their responses. You’ll recognize the general format of chatty output: Platitude! Here’s a bunch of words that a normal human being would say followed by the main thrust of the response that two plus two is four. Here are some more words that plausibly sound human!…
People say they want one thing but then their actions and money go to another.
I do agree there's unnecessary fluff. But "just give me the recipe" isn't really what people want. And I don't think your represent some outlier take because really have you ever gotten a recipe exactly as you outlined — zero context – and gave a damn to make it?
What's your Pocket replacement? Wallabag, Hoarder or something else?
Does it mean that AI knows more about us that many of our friends? Yes.
I recently migrated to Linkwarden [0] from Pocket, and have been fairly happy with the decision. I haven't tried Wallabag, which is mentioned in the article. Linkwarden is open source and self-hostable. I wrote a python package [1] to ease the migration of Pocket exports to Linkwarden.

How do you trust the recipe without context? People say they want one thing but then their actions and money go to another. I do agree there's unnecessary fluff. But "just give me the recipe" isn't really what people want.

After reading this I realized I also have an archive of my pocket account (4200 items), so tried the same prompt with o3, gemini 2.5 pro, and opus 4: - chatgpt UI didn't allow me to submit the input, saying it's too large. Although it was around 80k tokens, less than o3's 200k context size. - gemini 2.5 pro: worked fine for personality and interest related parts of the profile, but it failed the age range, job role,…
You should be able to use Google Takeout to get all of your YouTube data, including your watch history. This article is a nice example of someone using it: > When I downloaded all my YouTube data, I’ve noticed an interesting file included. That file was named watch-history and it contained a list of all the videos I’ve ever watched. https://blog.viktomas.com/posts/youtube-usage/ Of course as an European it's a legal…

I'm no expert, but with the "thinking" models, I'd hope the "be concise" step happens at the end. So it can waffle all it wants to itself until it gives me the answer.
