There is no better way to start your Monday than to use Slack's shortcut for clearing all unread messages, Shift+Escape

This is by far the funniest thing I've seen while #vibecoding

Favorite line in the new Avatar movie: "My father united the clans once again - he made the great speeches ..." Ain't no one got time to listen to these speeches.

It is hilarious how small the aviation community is

Can someone please share their monthly expenses using Claude for most of your coding? #AI #coding

I think I'm starting to understand vibe coders, and it suuuuuuucks

I been laying, waiting for your next mistake, I put in work, and watch my status escalate

"I don't feel as though fate looks upon you often - and when it does, you better be ready to seize the opportunity"

Cursor is the worst IDE I've ever been forced to use. I totally understand why vibe coders get made fun of. Imagine reading a book and something inserts half a page of text over the sentence you're trying to read, asking if you'd like to replace the words you can no longer see. Hot garbage.

Hot take: The default make target should a helpful message about the build targets, instead of kicking off a build that the maintainer assumes will work for everyone.

These 6 swing states are the Democrats’ best chance to take control of the Senate in 2026. Democrats in ALL 50 STATES need to support these races. This is the only path to flipping the Senate. Whether you donate money or donate your time, every action counts #2026midterms

who knew there were so many colorful terms for folks under the liberal umbrella, that choose to drag down the group because it's never good enough?

Avatar 3 really went all Mad Max... lame

Maybe AI would more palatable if their advocates were also a bit more palatable. Instead, its loudest advocates have been THE most smug, insufferable and, honestly, stupid bunch of people we have seen in the past 5 years. On that principle alone, the tech should fail cos that's what they deserve.

I get that sometimes we all have to dip into politics and that we can't fully remove it from our lives, but I really wish there was an "off" button here.

"Underachieving but ambitious officials therefore fulfill the single most important requirement of secret police agents - a strong personal interest in compliance. Leaders who depend on a loyal secret police force can expect individuals motivated by self-preservation to loyally execute violence."

By the way, if you’re on the side of thinking that ICE is going to win whatever this “war” against the people they talk about…. They aren’t And the statute of limitations goes past three years for a lot of crimes

Interesting how the pro AI teachers are also the teachers who are always asking me for help with tech

Applying to jobs is a whole job

The real question is, what dataset do they have in their possession in order to be able to generate CSAM? If their servers are full of actual child abuse materials someone needs to go to prison.

The Good Place looses it's shine when you realize it's just another tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwik... Poor Chidi

Trying to explain this simple point to people is impossible. His base is too stupid, and the ones that aren't, are more than willing to compromise to harm their perceived enemies, because they believe they will be harmed less.

Coworker: "why are you using *javascript* object notation in a shell script?" What an insufferable pedant. I don't care if it was birth from the shittiest language on the planet - it's got rigid typing which makes parsing WAY easier than piping through 10 coreutils.

I think I like the idea of being a pilot more than actually being a pilot. It's a huge grind with dubious returns. I can see the dream the old timers saw, but aviation never automated and the complexity is too high for it to be useful for anything but commercial use.

Hot take: It should be industry standard for aircraft manufacturers to produce virtual models for #xplane and #msfs

Should have been obvious that Fraiser would let us down

best part of adopting AMD? no kernel driver bullshit.

If I'm delaying your PR review, it's because I want to rewrite it entirely - don't poke me.

New interview question: Demonstrate installing nvidia kernel modules on linux and getting ollama connected to the gpu

AI is often sold as 'do something you already know how to do more efficiently' but is often bought as 'do something you don't know how to do with no idea if you are doing it efficiently at all'

Getting ghosted for an interview is like ... the best

so tired of stumbling into bugs. will i ever get the original task done?

I want Junior responsibilities but the Principal pay scale

I don't care if they're helpful, don't show up to a remote interview with your AI note taking app.

Sometimes I already know the right answer, I just want to vex about it - is that so much to ask?

should ssh keys be kept in your gpg keyring? probably not, but i'm gonna see how it goes for a while.

Sometimes I wish I lived in a Wes Anderson movie

I hate debugging electricity. It's tedious.

I'm about to spend 4 hours investigating something I already know is wrong, all because a junior engineer found a log entry that happened to occur at the same time.

It is crazy how fast I've been able to make efficient use of #emacs, thanks to spacemacs. it's nice to use a product that was made to be what it is - a configurable working environment - instead of an editor that was forced into being an IDE.

#spacemacs might be the thing that finally gets me off #vim.

I stalled an airplane today. It was fun.

There is something about understanding how to make custom document styles that are consistent throughout a Word document that makes me feel especially old.

X-Plane is as awesome as it is frustrating

I miss going into an office, but still not enough to give up being full time remote.
