Get you a partner that loves you like agent models love flailing around and making huge irredeemable messes instead of reading even a little bit of the existing code.

The folks dunking on this are cracking me up. (I have so many hot takes about the "Avatar bad" thing that I.. p r o b a b l y shouldn't let myself act like posting goblin about it.)
Guillermo del Toro says he has seen all 3 ‘AVATAR’ films and calls them “masterpieces”

This list is objectively correct, though I'd probably try to fit Phantasy Star 3 in there honestly. That single game was worth buying the Genesis for.

Douglas Adams knew we'd wind up cursing at the robots almost immediately, while weirdo corporations foisted them on us. No individual ever wants to buy one the whole series, just executive boards. Marvin probably really had all of that dismissal and snark coming to him, now that I look back on it.

Thank you everyone who's contributed! We're now over 50% to our monthly funding goal, which will allow us to be a pretty reliably sustainable volunteer-run organization that is still able to spend money on e.g. legal, hardware, hosting, etc, costs as we need in order to fulfill our mission!

Catching smug stray comments from LinkedIn under Bret Victor's "Inventing From Principle" and trying so hard not to reply.
I don't know why I keep responding to messages in there, every time it's on a backdrop of pure rage bait.

Parents: what are your favorite meals where the bulk of cooking can be done ahead of time, and you can quickly do the last steps after picking up your kid from daycare?

This is because LLM chat bots are an interface, and chat is a terrible way to interact with a tool. IMO. There’s more to it but that’s the central intractable fact that won’t be answered by any further exploration of the technology as is.
I talk to many professional #UX designers and no one is using genAI in any MEANINGFUL way to revolutionize their design work.
Sure, everyone is playing with it, and it can do some cool parlor tricks, but there isn't anything significant happening in design.
This needs to be said louder.

Or, hear me out: occasionally you work out a spell / knickknack / goober that fits the game you wanna play perfectly and the right move from there on is either sweeping redesign or make it different / worse to guard the current system design
just read about dnd 5e’s silvery barbs. they made a better counterspell that works on everything and is also a 1st level spell slot lol

Reading someone else's `PhantomData<(A, B, C)>` notation and facepalming as I think about all the times I put multiple phantom data fields into shipped code when I could've just used a tuple.

The gunk in people's brains about explaining stuff is that they confuse "the what" vs. "the why + how"
"The what" with monads is: it's a category theory concept, here's all of these principles to digest and obey
"The why + how" is: you get tons for free if you have a thing w/ these 4ish functions
