these people would have loved the internet

i've taken to telling vibe-coders to their face "people like you are the reason people like me will continue to have jobs"

The cherry tree outside my window is so pretty

im pretty sure that every generation from the dawn of time has had a moment where their life was ruined because they found out that their parents know what "69" means

so what you're saying is, we could create an Anti-Matt ETF and it would consistently outperform the market as a whole...

you're already like 95% of the way to an EBF visual novel, might as well fully commit to it at this point

us as kids: "being an adult must be so cool, you can drive a car and decorate your bedroom however you want and stuff"

us as adults: "being an adult is so cool, i can buy a gallon of conditioner and nobody can stop me"

Every time someone presses him about stuff like this he usually evades with something like "I didn't know about that" or "this is the first time I'm hearing of it." Mister President, it's literally your job to know about stuff like this. If you don't know about it, you're objectively bad at your job

got a new phone yesterday, discovered that they replaced the "turn the phone on and off" button with an "make gemeni open and start being obnoxious" button. had to go into settings to fix it. modern technology is stupid

me every time my code stops working and I don't know why:

"You may be wondering why I called you to this meeting, human..."

and i'm not sure which one is more annoying

It's the most useful he's ever been

so would that make you Jera the Planet Wizard or Jera Planet the Wizard

yeah i played the demo, i'm specifically hoping they re-release 2K5 on steam so i put it on the list anyway though

update: i am going to blame bsky for not showing me the threaded replies in which you pointed out that you tried not to include minecraft too many times

im very surprised minecraft was only on your grid twice tbh

honestly having gone through making a bunch of them (and watching other people make them), my main advice would probably be "don't overengineer it"

too often i see people spending large amounts of time adding features that look cool in a gif but that they don't actually need

are you telling me I've been imagining you wrong this entire time

some of the funniest interactions with LLMs i've seen have involved people asking them to do the incredibly complex and difficult task of counting to 100

nah, the market's closed today. he'll 180 tomorrow after he has a chance to do some more insider trading
