good exercise!

Without experience, programming with AI (vibe coding, I guess) can be compared to being a rat in maze... You work your way through a project, but the dead-ends exact a high cost in terms time, attention, and ultimately cost.

With experience, you see these dead ends before they have a chance to take hold and you know when and how to adjust course. It's literally like one poster said: coding with some buddies without ego and without the need to constantly talk people out of using the latest and greatest shiny objects/tools/frameworks.

I've really enjoyed going back a revisiting old ideas and projects with the help of AI. As the OP stated -- it has restored my energy and drive.

User experience is inversely proportional to piracy.

Every time I have to login using a code, not only am I annoyed that I once again after to re-enter my uid/pwd despite being a paying customer, I'm also reminded I'm paying yet another monthly fee for a service.

Streaming companies: you're asking for it. Begging for it.

Keep at it -- your skills will be growing in demand as the cloud pendulum swings back.

Someone hired a PR firm and launched a campaign. That is all -- continue living your life.

Costco is the best!

In addition to having a great curated product selection that one can trust, they appear to treat their employees well as they always have a great attitude and top-notch customer service.

As true today as it was 18 years ago -- Just replace Operating System/Platform with your Public Cloud of choice.

Such an under-appreciated feature by macOS users and devs alike.

Nothing quite like a site titled "Better Science" with the disclaimer:

"While I understand the basics of a clinical trial, I’d like to point out that I am no medical scientists. Most of the issues here were spotted by other people and I have linked to the sources."

You cannot make this s@#t up!

Put on your critical thinking caps folks -- there's a lot of bad info out there.

Wow, you all are really taking this fact hard. It's ok -- I know was shocked when I first heard this back in high school.

Reading thru the comments, it sounds like New Jersey has great parental benefits, but you will be sharing them with a few more million people than Denmark, so ymmv.

It comes down to this: you sound like a complete idiot comparing social programs of these small Countries to <any> large Country. Stop.

I love a good, "X Nordic Country provides Y for FREE -- so should the United States!" Where Y is some socialized benefit.

Let's put this in perspective: Finland's population is around 5.5 million people. That's somewhere between the populations of South Carolina and Minnesota.

Get a grip people -- The United States is not even remotely equivalent to Finland in terms of demographics and population. Find a nice U.S. State that doles out great Parental benefits, and move.

Very interesting. There’s certainly something to this associative memory phenomenon. Case and point. I stumbled across this on accident, by listening to the radio while commuting to work in the morning. Some shows repeat themselves throughout the day. If I hear the repeat on my commute home, I can recall an amazing number of details around my morning commute at the same time in the show. It’s pretty amazing and I’m trying to find a way to exploit this outside of listening to Howard Stern on my commute to/from work. :-)
