I’m gonna build a project and going to send it with a code assistant tool. I’m not calling it vibe coding cuz that shit’s whack. “Chill” coding is honestly a better term.

What’s the BEST tool to use that will do it ALL. Frontend, backend, database?

The amount of dudes I see walk out of the bathroom without washing their hands is disgusting as fuck. Wash your hands, you nasty fucks. Probably anti-vaxxers.

Even when I tried, I didn't know how to open a terminal in the editor or toggle the file tree and switch the cursor back and forth between the file tree and the editor window. I can exit vim though so I guess that is a plus.
I wish I could learn how to use Vim/Neovim. The whole thing and even have a dope theme and setup off the rip so I can look more like a hacker when I work in public.

That agent deserves to be arrested, tried for murder, and sent to prison for life.
JD Vance: "It was a legitimate law enforcement operation. We were going door to door to try to find criminal illegal aliens and deport them from the United States ... say a prayer for that agent ... he deserves a debt of gratitude."

If you can't remember the Wi-Fi password of your place of business because it is too long and you don't take the time to figure it out for your patrons, that is a problem.

Are there any good tools out there to create animated diagrams for presentations? Something that has gears and arrows and stuff like that?

I need to create a diagram that looks pretty nifty for a talk I am doing next month.

Went to Salt & Smoke last night in STL and I wouldn’t write home about it. Sugarfire Smoke House is wayyyy better.
