Uhh... How appropriate... you fight like a cow.

In the age of AI coding, code is cheap. Getting the requirements and high-level architecture nailed down is where the hard engineering challenges remain.

Enter... documentation.

Scratch already allows you to create custom Blocks and features lists. This seems like a perfect example of reinventing the wheel (and fragmenting development communities).

I lost the only recordings of my band when Myspace Music died.

At one point, I also had files on RapidShare. They probably weren't of any value, but I have no idea what they were now.

I am the only Brit in the department I work in. No one gets the cultural references or British idioms I use, and I've found myself significantly changing the language I use to a very utilitarian and direct style to prevent the endless blank stares... reading this blog post just made me realise that this self-editing has made my interactions rather more 'flat' and unnatural, as they now lack spontaneity, with everything passing through a secondary filter before leaving my brain.

I got into programming and computers due to their intellectual depth, and the exciting opportunities they opened to explore everything from electronics to obscure areas of mathematics... through to theory of mind and the dream of making silicon think.

The combination of endless trend-chasing, software churn, and techbro culture made me hate everything about software, so I jumped ship to biology.

Oh... I was wondering why every single chat (including "Hello") was being flagged.

Seems I am barred from using Fable just for being a biologist :(

Holy shmoly... I'm a biologist who has used Thermo antibodies before, and this is seriously disappointing to see.

Just discovered the documentary, and it's such an interesting time capsule. That period simultaneously feels like yesterday, and a lifetime ago.

Exactly the same as my experience in the UK.

Ugh... that worked, but I gave up once I got to the home page.

To quote the late, great, Ray Arnold...

It can't be a good idea to condition yourself to be comfortable around an exposed wire that's near to a real power socket.

Good luck finding out how to contact customer support. The darkest dark pattern of them all.
