I’d be interested in the differences AI interprets from the different translations. Too bad they don’t allow you to specify. (Or say which one they use up front)

For the first time since I started doing this 10 years ago; I’ve made a conscious effort to remove Teams from my phone, stop working at 5 (or whatever), and not bother with work until it’s time to start. I also make sure I take time off; getting a limited-vacation job has helped most with this.
I’m at peace with where I am currently and I’ve found there’s more inner peace with who I am more than ever.
So much of my life isn’t about what I do for work. It took me too long to realize this.
It’s just a tool I use in my life. It’s not the tool in my life.

Can I use it in conjunction with something like CDK? I’m trying to learn the AWS CDK, but I would feel much better if I could run all these orchestrations on a local docker instead of a real AWS account.
…And just trust that I destroy them before they incur cost.

To be fair, we’re all environmental parasites no matter where we are on this heckin planet.

It’s like when Tesla finally realized their imaging cameras weren’t worth crap during the winter with road crust all over them. Proving the moderately-self driving capabilities moot.
Ideal conditions during development may not replicate real-world use.

Yup - as soon as a third party realized they could start making money off of it.

Understandably, most of us have been there. I know I’ve been a cog in motion in an instance just like this. Suits were more mad than any customer was (I heard nothing about it from customers).
Luckily, it’s just a simple textual email.
It’s a learning experience - and most notably - an obvious pointer to the fact that there’s some protections/documentation/processes that can be added to prevent this.

I’m most productive on my 10-minute walk during the work day when I rubber ducky to myself about the problem I’m working on.
I haven’t kept exact track, but I’m definitely hitting over .500 with that specific technique.

The switch was attractive to me- and made me willing to dance - when my ex employer was unwilling to let me continue to work remote as I had the previous 18 months.
I voiced my opinions on it, changed my life around because of COVID, and they still seemed surprised when I gave them my 2 weeks.
I would have likely stayed if I got the approval to continue to work at home.
I’d say the extra ~10 hours of work over the month for it was worth it. It always is.

Highly recommend subscribing before you look it up, though.

If there’s anybody out there who is requiring Pro Tools or anything else because it excludes a particular group disproportionately, that would be discriminatory
I think that’s a bit of a stretch. The core concepts of PT are available even in Pro Tools First (free). They’re requiring PT simply because it’s the industry standard in audio recording/production. Though I agree with the author, the use of it in podcasting is perplexing.
If we’re going to go down this Avenue, the same parallels could be made for Adobe products and the gatekeeping they had, even before they went to a SaaS model.
It’s unfortunate that the industry requires PT proficiency, but it literally wrote the book on DAWs. Plenty of producers/musicians use alternative software that’s cheaper or better equipped, but the PT pendulum has long swung; since they’re all using PT key mappings.

Can’t be as bad as a full-screen modal making me accept cookies to read a silly article.

“...not only has there been a recent spike in people deciding to postpone (or even better, entirely avoid) procreation...”
- Aight, I’m out.
Judging by the other comments, others share my sentiments.

IIRC, AWS had the free tier first. Which is what brought me in. I wasn’t trying to change the world, but I’ll take free server space if they’re giving it away.
Then they sealed the deal when a little Echo skill I wrote for myself gave me (and continues to give me) got me $100/month in AWS credits.
Combine that with every place of work using AWS, and I’m pretty much married to it. I at least know the UI, and for a programming who hates configuration, that means a lot (as far as getting in and getting out quickly).

I’m thinking I’ll only consider remote work from now on...
