The only supermarket work going to in the UK is Waitrose.

Classified ads for jobs were still a thing up until around Y2K. MonsterBoard (what it used to be called) was one of the first online job platforms and then Dice came along. I used to have good luck finding contract gigs through dice.

It would be nice if they had Bart first class with fast wifi and premium interior. The green vinyl seats are better than the old cloth ones but it’s still pretty gross.

It’s disturbing. I sometimes wonder what would happen if I were pulled over and my window and door is closed. If I reach for the door handle will the cop think I’m reaching for gun? Do wait for him to scream at me through the window? How do I keep from things escalating? Is there a place in the US where the cops aren’t totally insane? SF? Santa Barbara? Maybe Marin County?

Just reading the title made my tinnitus come back.

For some reason I was thinking it was that $99 dollar Sinclare from the 80s which had the most unusable keyboard on earth.

Totally agree on ai assisted coding resulting in randomly changed code. Sometimes it’s subtle and other times entire methods are removed. I have moved back to just using a JetBrains IDE and coping files in to Gemini so that I can limit context. Then I use the IDE to inspect changes in a git diff, regression test everything, and after all that, commit.

I looked this up. "10 of the 11 recessions between 1953 and 2020 began under Republican administrations”. It seems Republican = Recession.

My job as a software engineer is not going anywhere. It’s only getting more interesting. Nice vibe blog / fear mongering piece.

Also, manufacturers that make 3d printers simply wont sell in NY. They’ve solved nothing with this.

The fed would almost certainly intervene aggressively resuming large scale QE to buy up treasuries and stabilize yields.

The way I learned to write software was years of cutting my teeth on hard problems. I have to wonder what happens when the new developers coming up don’t have that teeth cutting experience because they use language models to assist with every algorithm, etc?
