Love a good build log. Brilliant!

Pretty sure that's the copper they're talking about.

Remapping a few things can make a full day at the computer much more comfortable. I struggle with RSI in my right thumb and index finger, so it helps a ton to have other ways to click the mouse button. I have a dedicated key for mouse click, as well as using Mod+Caps Lock as double-click. Don't be afraid to move shortcuts around if it makes sense. Brains are more adaptable than we tend to give them credit for.

Enjoyed the writing... the site is painful though. Please add a tweak to turn off the ".ca" flashing in the top left. Your Contact form is broken as well, otherwise I would have sent this to you directly.

Or bank account numbers for ACH. Never understood this one, but I see it all the time. Even worse when I have to type it in twice manually.

Pretty fun, needs some improvements:

- wire routing makes most circuits write-only. There's no way to follow the wires once a circuit is completed, it's easier to delete them all and start over.

- some of the later levels seem incomplete, at least as far as test cases: 2.26 Row Buffer you don't actually have to buffer the row to meet the requirements. 2.34 can be completed with a single VDD symbol. 2.37 and 2.38 I expected to have access to components that I had completed previously, but then it turned out neither of them have complete tests so they can be cheesed as well.

- no GPU?

I have a similar sized macropad that I use extensively with AutoHotKey for application-specific shortcuts like clicking on buttons that don't have a keyboard shortcut, or scrolling two panes of a window simultaneously. All things that I could bind a key combo to, but I like having a dedicated button for.

parens are third and fourth finger

=+ is my palm (weird keyboard I know)

[]{} I used a modifier key to put them on O and P directly below () (columnar keyboard)

-_ and \| are actually pinky

I don't feel like any particular finger is overloaded. Dvorak helps a lot with that IMHO.

That $450k was actually worth $40k when it was cashed out. Why are you calling it $450k?

Paste the original blog post into ChatGPT asking it to summarize or provide suggestions. Unintentionally copy and paste quotes from the ChatGPT output rather than the original blog post.

For the better? For the better, right?

Man, this makes me feel old. Are people really having to work with "AI Team Members"? Trust ambiguity seems like a complicated way to say "unreliable".

In my small corner of technology (AV) I regularly use three products with physical USB license keys: Crestron VC-4, Scala Digital Signage, and Dataton Watchout. Two of them have a "virtual license key" option that costs extra, intended for use with a VM. I wish they were more rare...

Unexpected side benefit: this is teaching more about the ES6 module and class stuff that I haven't gotten around to using up on. Will be very useful on my next large-scale JS project.
