AI has made forms of mental illness formerly only available to the stupendously wealthy accessible to the common man.

Not sure how I feel about GitHub referring to the post-AI landscape as an "eternal September" for open-source

I keep on getting shown like tech interview questions reels and holy shit I worry about the state of developers given the responses on this one www.instagram.com/reel/DXXPLHO...

Couple that with the over representation of neurodiversity in the field and you've got a recipe for delivering addicts

I think I hate the AI coding tools so much because the model is so close to gambling: you might win big (excellent results, first time!), near misses (thing works, that's kind of like two 7s on a slot machine) and small rewards of non-jackpot returns. Scratches that part of the brain

birds birds BIRDS BIRDS BIRDS BIRDS

I got a telephoto zoom lens: I'm becoming the bird guy.

Why do the Japanese like their buns askew (2026)

Electoral politics is just not for people like me, it seems (not should it be, I'm the luckiest cunt to ever live)

Watched an hour long video about bog flora yesterday and hell yeah nature is cool

Managed to reference Spiders Georg at work. Small mercies.

It would also represent a decrease in pay of around £100k. Job does not be jobbing right now.

Conditions at work have got me considering re-entering the Civil Service as an SEO having been a Grade 6 when I left.

I don't want to deliver shareholder value, I want to awaken a creativity I've never really had

Hell yeah

@MORGANGOREWHORE dad said i need to stop calling our dog a faggot Qt by @Khorgnir One time at my parents house I called their cat a f*ggot and my dad said "if you can say that why can't I" and I said "how many dudes have you fucked" and then he stopped talking for the rest of dinner

I just want to suffer, I think

I'm applying for a job at a hedge fund lmao

It's worked out alright so far

Me, several years ago, writing my CV in LaTeX, sowing: haha, fuck yes
Me, every time I have to install a TeX distribution on a new device to update it: what the fuck?

Got a pay rise that was actually negative, hell yeah baby!

Honestly, when I ran `mix phx.new` and got an `AGENTS.md` file, I think that's what knocked the wind out of my sails. It's such a cool framework and the experience of a new project is now "hey, don't even bother thinking, champ"

Maybe the solution to this is just to my own daft shit in my own time, but I've had a project in mind for the last two weeks that is relatively low-complexity but I just can't bring myself to pull the trigger on starting.

They had me in the first two-thirds

Look, I'm a real freak: I don't do a lot of "making" at work because 1) I'm a senior and 2) I'm more ops focussed, but the act of working out a production issue and fixing it? The feeling of being right? How could people not love that.

I saw someone say that the "goldrush" of people going into tech because Money explains why people don't give a shit about the act of creation and I think there's more than a little truth there

Nothing feels fun anymore. People are accepting outsourcing their works to black boxes that aren't even deterministic.

I think I'm becoming a full-time AI doomer as far as computing goes. Too much slop too easily and people far too willing to let the idea of quality slip them by because things are "easy". I think it was never the profession for me: I'm too much of a tinkerer liking to be able to reason about stuff
