Moved my domain from namecheap to cloudflare that I use for Fastmail. There was a bit of a song and dance because CF requires you use its own name servers, but I had codex do it for me in chrome. Would recommend.

I don’t want a hot sauce to do more than add some acid and heat to my eggs or po’boy sandwich, therefore Tabasco. I find others too present and opinionated, making the dish just taste like the hot sauce.

Not OP but I can’t leave jet brains until a double shift search everywhere is implemented.

I use the (now deprecated?) opus plan mode still. Sonnet 4.5 turns in less thought out plans than Opus. I wish codex cli tool wasn’t so super basic. Not even dedicated plan mode. Very annoying how hard the models are tied to their specific CLI tools.

I book almost all my travel through capital one or Amex credit card points. Am I getting fleeced by not booking directly now?

I found setting up complex train networks in factorio pretty annoying. Your less than ideal designs can’t really be modified in dense areas without tearing up half the factory. I ended up just trying to chuck signals at the problem but every 20 mins or so the timing of the trains would deadlock.

Very excited to see all the new tools and combinator logic controls. It seems like a whole new bag of tricks to deal with train issues.

Now that things will be multi planetary, I am wondering how we will deal with biter/scheduling issues when off planet.

That someone has iMessage on android without the remote device work around would have blown up regardless.

If you have some group that all understands and checks each other from the beginning, Ruby is probably great.

However it was every startups default choice for a while, and those code bases get wrecked and have no oversight until way later. A lot of bad ideas becomes foundational. This scenario is far more common than good Ruby code bases. It’s just easier to rule out Ruby when looking for new jobs.

Ruby meta programming is awesomely powerful, but also one of the main reasons I never want to work in another’s Ruby codebase again. There is always some developer who read some article like this and invents their own DSL to solve a problem that didn’t need one. It’s pure pain to debug it.

I imagine a FAANG salary allowing fully remote would be a very competitive position.

Even under an RTO mandate to a sinking ship, people will still go in. Who are are they going to run to? Nobody is hiring and paying the same rates unless your resume say AI.

I’m sure he’s tasked somebody to set up an IRC server.

Every time I see a recipe app, I wonder if it will stack up to Paprika. It never does. It parses every recipe website and the sync works perfectly.
