I stayed at an Airbnb a couple of weekends ago where we were asked to take out the trash, start the dishwasher, put used towels in the downstairs shower, and strip all the bedding and leave it at the foot of the bed. It felt a little outrageous given what I paid for the weekend. The kicker was that we found stains on some of the pillows and the comforter from previous guests. At some point, you have to wonder what exactly the cleaning fee is for. I'm glad Airbnb is finally starting to crack down on this behavior.

This is wildly inaccurate to the point of being dangerous advice. The goal during a bomb threat call is generally not to challenge, mock, or provoke the caller into a reaction. It is to keep the caller talking for as long as possible and gather information that could help assess the threat and assist law enforcement or security. There is no reliable rule that says a "real terrorist" will hang up if laughed at or that a hoax caller will stay on the line. People making threats behave in many different ways and simplistic tests like this are not a dependable way to determine whether a threat is real.

Soluble fiber in general helps lower LDL, beans and lentils work well too. One caution for diabetics, this meal could be pretty high in carbs for a single sitting depending on portions.

Interesting concept. Not sure if I like it more than drag and drop though, but I do love explorations like this. Reminds me of the old days when Flash devs would build some truly crazy stuff.

Potential bug: The first time I tried it on my iPad, it didn’t place the item, but it did on subsequent uses.

Yes, licensing does reduce supply compared to a free-for-all. But that’s the point, it filters out people who shouldn’t be doing the work in the first place. For engineers, the PE designation means you’re legally responsible for your work.

I thought the same thing of his website when he first hit the scene. Great info, but the design was so bad it made it difficult to read. It was quick though, and today’s reader view would have fixed that issue. Being usable doesn’t mean zero design; everything needs to work together.

FYI I don't think all of your styles are loading on the page. Tried safari and firefox and it doesn't look right.

Thus is just a link to a Reddit post that links to a LinkedIn job posting.

I'm curious to see if anyone here has done this switch on a large project and what gains they are seeing.

I'm not aware of that, but I also lost access to Copilot when we switched to Cursor so I can't check at the moment. That's great if you can because Claude is why people like Cursor.

We’re in the early stages of this transition. There’s no formal hiring freeze, but leadership has made it clear we should exhaust AI options before considering new hires. At the same time, raises and promotions are frozen this year, which has definitely caused a lot of frustration internally.

As part of this AI-first shift, all engineers now have access to Cursor, and we’re still figuring out how to integrate it. We just started defining .cursorrules files for projects.

What’s been most noticeable is how quickly some people rely too much on AI outputs, especially the first pass. I’ve seen PRs where it’s obvious that the generated code wasn’t even run or reviewed. I know this is part of the messy adjustment period, but right now, it feels like I’m spending more time reviewing and cleaning up code than I did before.

It's a fork of VS Code that still uses the official extensions, despite that violating the license terms. Functionally, it's pretty similar to using VS Code with Copilot, but with the added bonus of choosing from multiple models. I’ve only just started using it at work, so my experience is also pretty limited, but so far the results seem slightly better.

I remember when Easter eggs like this were all over the web before frontend frameworks took over. Nice to see the tradition continues.

I’m still going to talk to it like a person because if I don’t then I’ll slowly start to talk to people like they’re LLMs and it’s going to sound rude.
