When looters smash the glass door, it's pretty obvious the vulnerability has been there for YEARS!

Disagree - wealthy people don't become wealthy by giving all their money to the government. Expensive cars generally retain a decent value, but the taxes paid evaporate.

Many people don't relocate, but instead try to figure out a way to save a bunch of money on a large purchase - why pay more if it can be avoided?

California is over-regulated and over taxed, "the government knows best, give us all your money and we will take care of you and save the planet". Just leave people alone and let them have a good life and do what they want within reason without trying to suck the life out of every penny.

As a consumer, I use BetterStack's MCP server pretty much daily to search server logs and resolve reported errors - super helpful! But a CLI would be equally useful here.

WAT is the landing page all about, my brain can't process it. I had to close the tab after 10 seconds as I got immediate anxiety.

VSCode also allows staging/unstaging specific hunks by hovering over the hunk near the left/right separator in diff view - super handy when I need it!

Agree it is a pain. I have been using nx and it handles all that for you, playwright is a separate project with it's own twconfig and they all inherit from a root tsconfig.

I prefer nx for single applications and move shared code to "libraries" (I use non-buildable libs). It's pretty sweet for larger projects.

On the flip side I retrained myself to ask llm questions on my phone or computer browser search bar with the expectation of getting an llm response toy question with no desire to look at anything else.

If I truly want to search I will ignore the llm results, but I like the convenience of a quick llm search that knows "all the things". I get the answer to my question without searching multiple ad-ridden websites (since the ad provider does all the things)

I have a choice and have not moved to codex (100/mo personal + my employer pays for a subscription). I try codex here and there and it seems to go off the rails every time. I have had some good experiences with codex, but generally trying to get something big accomplished it doesn't work out.

But I may not have paid enough to get the full real experience with codex

I had a ton of issues with my Macbook pro M1 16GB, memory pressure would be in the yellow always and into red frequently which caused sound stutter and all sorts of issues.

My M1 air (I think 8GB?) had similar issues My M2 24gb was amazing - especially since it allowed dual monitors. I recently upgraded to the M4 32GB and it is my "do everything" computer and is absolutely awesome.

My personal experience with the m-series is that get as memory as possible. I do feel the M1 had issues based on the couple I owned.

EDIT: Even on 32GB my memory pressure is constantly in the yellow, but have not seen it go to red

refined.blog doesn't work, goes to a GoDaddy page.

Are you sure? I looked at my Claude usage dashboard and design has its own usage bucket not tied to anything else.

Design usage shouldn't impact code usage.

Ok, well have AI write some table stakes for you in 10 minutes with 100% test coverage and only provide exactly what "table stakes" you are missing without any bells and whistles.
