Visually this is gorgeous

Really nice work!

Is it just me or are the “self reported” studies consistently larger?

As a leg bouncer I have very little control over this.

The second my brain stops looking my leg is going to restart.

I’ll stop discriminating against umpires when they learn to see.

This looks great.

Lord knows I have to make enough mermaid renderings of these UML diagrams.

Will be giving it a try

Passwords are one I happily pay for someone else to worry about

That’s about my most valuable digital data

No, not I don’t self host my email which is where a lot of the trouble comes from

I don’t remember having any issues with it ever. That was a concern so I did slowly transition to the custom domain

I used to have a program that would search docs and I’d read stack overflow all the time. Back then it was RTFM or GTFO, so stack overflow meant I wasn’t learning right.

I think you’ll be fine. Sometimes it’s good to read docs, sometimes it’s good to just see how things work in practice and up to AI that last part was hard to come by.

I’ve been programming for over half my life now, I actually like vibe coding with Claude these days.

It basically gets me through the hump of “ugh this task is going to be annoying as fuck to do” which is where I personally lose most of my efficiency (I have a lot of difficulty forcing myself to do something I don’t want to).

It’s like when I had interns and I’d give them tasks. Describe the work, scope it, add some guard rails to keep it directionally okay, and send it off to get reviewed later. And that works great with modern agents.

I will say vibe coding is damn good at debugging, way better than I am, so I use it for that a lot now.

That’s pretty much my setup, it is not super hard to get working, it’s basically just copying and pasting the magic numbers they give you

Three R’s to deGoogling: Reduce, replace, remove.

I would say start by changing your browser and search engine (lots of options out there today), and then set up your own domain for email hosting so you can try different providers.

There isn’t another YouTube with all that content out there, so that one is tough, but you don’t have to 100% de google, 50% is still good. 15% is still good.

I have another screenshot where it just says “*Giggling*” so maybe

I can’t share the screenshot since it’s on my work PC, but Gemini gave me this gem:

Asked to summarize some product data with a size field:

“One size fits all (OSFA?) :) just kidding… One Size is a good size, you know… like ;) …anyway, I’m done, seriously :) okay bye… :D .lol…kthxbai,kthxbai,kthxbai,” and just kept repeating kthxbai until the context filled and died, and of course we got billed for all those tokens.

Classic OOP bloat.

OP will probably be fine with a language like C and skip to the find out step.

Those had the vibe of a Perry Bible Fellowship comic, bit with less existential crisis

We need to start a company to disrupt delusion!

I see this guy before that

The goth moth is actually a depiction of two ghosts arguing.

A lot of the oil production is in the crater

and we still wouldn’t transition off oil.
