Hahaha I’ve recently been looking at a few domains I’ve owned forever too.

But do I really want to start more projects?!?

Right when it first started it was so much better than what had been there before, and the way they assigned points was designed to encourage lots of people to chip in with answers.

Asking questions did become painful later on. But it was the default site to choose whenever you googled a programming issue for years after.

Just treating .md files as text files would get us 90% there. The whole point of markdown is that it’s readable as text.

Agreed. Firing up a 12gb app to read markdown seems like overkill

I’ve been to a few places like this and managed to get rid of the Wordpress infestation.

No you’re right. The jump included a roll

Wasn’t stable. The straight jump they did was more like a mini rocket launch over some parked cars.

You’d want something that smoothly hovers rather than a launch then catch with boosters.

Most companies that have some complexity to their software will still want devs to build stuff.

And there are going to be lots of new companies that suddenly want to build a load of software.

The profession should hang on for a good while at least.

This is cool.

You just need to add a button that says “buy t-shirt” then… infinite money

This is fun. The audio isn’t particularly believable. Not that it matters for this project.

I’ve used a few tts providers and although a technical marvel they are all still easily identifiable as ai. Humans are very good at spotting fakes.

This project might work better with mostly canned audio clips of real humans.

ChatGPT Work mode is the one with a 5 hour usage limit I think

Afaik iTerm2 is the usual upgrade for the macOS terminal isn’t it?
