How wide a timeframe determines multitasking? To me it is watching a YouTube video when you should be coding and possibly shitposting on Teams all at once. The code is never good, and you have a nagging feeling that you should turn the video off. It maybe works for more repetitive things like tweaking large xml files with repeating patterns.

On the other hand, consider a coder who also is trying to make it with a music career. Setting time aside to practice and reach out to open mic nights or other opportunities can’t be multitasking can it?

But as soon as ADHD comes into play, you’re looking at music opportunities when you should be refactoring some badly written class. Right back into multitasking.

So for eBay, am I safest using PayPal? Or a Credit card?

> So, I've learned to take this in stride, like with gun ownership: most gun deaths in the US are suicide. As more and more gun owners shoot themselves, this is the only mitigation to this crisis.

I’m sure you’re being facetious, but don’t the suicidal people buy guns? It’s not that gun owners are suicidal

And another thing > no AI is going to replace your Daniel Day Lewises. Your Tilda Swintons. These people are real human beings who are perfect on screen without AI adjustment.

I’m a good actor too btw.

I so want you to be right, but do you know what ‘enshitification‘ is?

It’s all about brands and recognisability

Messaged you on IG!

Nice to meet you. We need to make an AI agent that gets us all the work. I’ll send you a message.

I don’t believe it’s the inevitable yet. What if it’s shit and you don’t want to see hundreds of AI extras? Never mind an AI Tom Cruise (who won’t be getting any academy awards if he’s entirely computer generated).

I’m an actor and a software developer. And AI replacing us (the nobodies, the extras, ie not Tom Cruise) scares the shit out of me. Long live the theatre I guess.

I’m guessing you’re not an actor?

Watch Wolfhall if you haven’t

I feel sort of in the same boat, at least from reading this blogpost. Though it might be time for me to master fetch rather than pull. What I wonder is how anyone (read: most people) get by with using GUIs for Git that tend to abstract some of these fundamentals away

Did many people at the time clock this? I think we forget that spreadsheet applications weren't always so commonplace outside of the people in your household that worked with a computer.
