I have 60ish plugins for VS Code and IntelliJ is still slower / sluggish.

Oh thank god, I thought it was just me and that my IP had been flagged for some reason.

Had a girlfriend (briefly) who said it made men look weak when they cried, or needed a hug, or laid their head in their partner’s lap.

Suffice it to say, she’s fucking miserable and alone in life and I only wish her life gets worse. She was a toxic piece of shit and adds nothing to humanity.

I was in the same boat about…3mos ago. But recent tooling is kind of making me rethink things. And to be honest I’m kind of surprised. I’m fairly anti-AI.

Is it perfect? Fuck no. But with the right prompts and gates, I’m genuinely surprised. Yes, I still have to tweak, but we’re talking entire features being 80% stubbed in sub 1 minute. More if I want it to test and iterate.

My major concern is the people doing this and not reviewing the code and shipping it. Because it definitely needs massaging…ESPECIALLY for security reasons.

I love you for posting this.

I also feel old.

Ohhhhh. Okay, yeah, so I worked for a data aggregation company for a time and there was absolutely an odd (personally identified) correlation between lead exposure areas of the US and heavily red voting.

I’m super curious why you’re asking.

🐐

Autist here as well.

I paid ~$100k in taxes last year. I got married in 2020. I donate thousands to my local community a year. At peak I was helping create 30 some odd jobs locally.

RFK Jr can fuck off. I’ve historically done more good for this country in a month than he will ever do in his entire life. I wish the worst for him.

Are you me??

I actually prefer the Lenovo keyboard to any other laptop keyboard in existence. Be it HP, Dell, Microsoft, Asus, Acer or otherwise.

Windows for work, Linux for fun.

Based on what little I know that goes into video game development, $80 seems cheap - assuming no mtx.

But if it’s $80 + mtx? Fuck that.

Jesus I’m fighting back tears while sitting at a bar.

Awesome.

It’s not even viable for me. I simply cannot use Linux daily because all my jobs require software that doesn’t have a Linux version, or it does but it’s lacking necessary features, or there’s an alternative but I have to burn extra hours making it work with their systems/setup - hours I don’t have.

Or I have to use internally configured Remote Desktop profiles over a VPN (not to be confused with RDP), and you can’t do that specific use case on Linux because it requires using the company’s internal Windows Store with specific Remote Desktop installation.

Or I have to use a specific Outlook instance, locally installed, because somehow they’ve blocked web access (I still haven’t figured out exactly how they set this up).

After a 12 hour day, sure, I can switch back to my dual boot Linux instance and spend 1-2 hours for personal use. But the ratio is still Windows-leaning no matter how you slice it.

I agree. I hate using a mouse and generally avoid it, and still the productivity gains I get from using something like VS Code versus Vim with plugins to the max are impossible to ignore.

When I’m juggling like 3 development contracts at once, it’s dumb of me to not use every little gain in productivity possible. I don’t have time to spend a day recreating a plugin to my liking in Vim when something already exists that gets me 99% of the way there. I don’t care about the extra RAM use because I have plenty of that.

I think some people just like to die on this hill out of principle, and that’s whatever, more power to them.

It’s a sheet of chemicals that makes your clothes smell better.

Downside is it adds a sort of…coating to clothing which for some types of clothing, like wicking sports apparel, makes them less effective.

They’re absolutely useless and when I learned that I stopped using them and there was literally no negative change in my post-laundry output.

As someone who has been a CEO (on paper, it was largely meaningless) before…yes…but also have some fucking humility and wisdom and the ability to know what you don’t know.

I don’t know shit, and I’ll admit I don’t know shit, and if I feel the need to comment on something I don’t know shit about, then maybe I’ll defer to someone who is better educated to answer. Jesus christ.
