Interesting take and I certainly agree that lots of people think that way.

In my case I had prior experience with tech support and I saw lots of people struggling to use computers and it's interfaces.

So my joy comes equally from coding or seeing people relieved that their problems were solved.

With that mindset that I'm able to fly with Claude or codex.

And even doing my comp sci more than a decade ago many professors told that I should worry more about the outcomes and what problems I'm solving, instead of building this life game around coding only. So I'm grateful for them.

Maybe that can help other people getting out of this dread feeling whenever they are using A?

My frustrations changed, nonetheless, with AI. When it forgets cases that the LLM session and I forgot to cover, that for me is pretty obvious if I had or gave more time to evaluate and review things.

This week I realized that running a separate session and asking dumb questions about the plans and recent pull requests helps grounding again.

Me too. Thanks for the archive link. As a CF user myself maybe the owner did set the level too high?

Pix is Brazil is also paid by the merchants. ~0.33%.

Individuals is completely free. You can transfer even to people without bank accounts (and withdraw on places like corner shops and authorized merchants).

For companies certain transfers are free. eg: my company pays nothing, since I'm not a merchant, one of the banks tried to charge once and I just changed to another that offered 0% in return for keeping investments there.

Some banks offer extra services like POS machines with instant confirmation and so on (so the POS employee don't need access to the company bank account).

How much is in this case?

The same week that they will move goalposts by blocking 3rd party harnesses on claude code. Nice.

I was a happy Max user.

I'm using my ADHD hyper focus skills while flagging issues that the LLM is doing.

Reading 10x more code than before puts me straight into the zone. (In a language that I find interesting: Elixir)

My own process is improving so much that I had only one bug last week that was fixed immediately after the error tracker caught.

But yeah I feel more tired sooner. So it's oneto three hyper focus zones per day, just like before.

The difference is that I enter faster, and now I'm not afraid of leaving the task and resuming later, since I can just ask for a summary of what we did so far.

I'm using two different models from two different providers to cross check the work tho.

I'm very good with bad smells I guess, after years supervising less experienced developers since early days in my long career.

I did receive these kinds of emails as well.

And I use a different email fromy priority email for GitHub commits since 4 years ago.

So just stop with marketing slop please.

Yes, I work with AI, and I'm becoming pretty good at it.

But this doesn't mean I'm comfortable pushing AI slop into potential users and customers.

I (and they) want to use AI to facilitate their processes, not to ingest slop content.

What about even earlier? Like the petrodollar?

Yes. Casio FX-991 es plus.

I did use for integrals, derivatives, etc, in a distant past.

Now I'm using to do simple calculations, including checking Claude code/opus math and logic.

Well I do intend to use software to automate these interactions, because in my country whatsapp groups are unmanageable without this.

Imagine the group of parents of my kids schools sending 100 to 300 messages per day with different subjects.

The issue is. I also have personal and important chats that I don't want to share with an vibe coded AI software without any canaries taking the shot first.

And I'm talking as a person that is using almost all my Claude max subscription every week.

But I do verify ALL of the code that I'm delivering. And I'm even using Gemini as an adversarial LLM to review Claude generated code.

Does this that gigantic project set any standards for this?

I was not able to find on their documentation.

So it's funny indeed, but for now I'm upvoting this one even being a confident moderate person.

:)

Interesting, I'm using Endel for a year or so. I did install the app here, but it's definitely not polished.

Like answering the first questionaire and not saving it, so I tested only one of the default scenarios.

The flashlights are too strong for me. The subtle drawings that Endel uses are nicer.

I use mise to update binaries. Especially TUIs that are not on the arch repos. It supports several backends, from cargo crates to GitHub releases, to uv for python and so on.

So one doesn't really need homebrew that has Linux as third class citizen (with the 2nd class empty)

Definitely. The things that I most agreed with my doctor and my psychologist was around rebuilding my daily routines on things that are important, but not overly rewarding, or with delayed reward (physical exercises, home chores, reading and entire book chapter before stopping).

So much so that I can reduce the medication when I feel my routine is healthy enough.

No overdoing neither under doing. Taking care of hyper focus is more important than anything else. Learning to transfer the rewards from highly rewarding things (videogames) to the chores.

During my gaming sessions as well, playing harder modes repeatedly without giving up.

It's very important this aspect of reframing things. Pursuing healthier outcomes by changing the routine.

Unfortunately a really close person to me is taking much higher dosages, but it's not seeing this way, neither the doctor of this person frames the same way like my doctor is doing.

I went all up to 50mg, using generics or whatnot, extended release or regular ones, now I'm a happy camper on 10mg. Will go to 20mg because I need to force myself into more exercises, usually I take 30 minutes before these sessions of "boring" routines.

More important than anything is having an honest discussion with my psychiatrist about the role and objectives of taking the medication.

Hey, Merry Christmas!

I did invest my time on more specific technologies, not following the mainstream, I accepted a 35% cut, but on smaller and promising small company that smells like startup, but it's actually an small business sharply focused on some types of customers. No VC funding.

I'm also a father of a daughter and I'm "training" her to understand that she needs to sell something that is not abstract.

As a computer scientist, I still sell implementations in form of code, but I dearly assumed many years ago that this (abstract product X concrete product) could be the difference to put food on my table - and now on my daughter's table - or not.

I'm far from highly successful because I'm still fighting this urge to just focus on code, but luckily that understanding above make me talk to any kind of person that is not a coder as well. Understanding business in general, meet concrete needs on different types of industries and so on.

I'm not from the US, so take that into account. I was near shoring to the US, now I'm doing that, but to the EU. I moved to a different market.

Also I'm fully invested in using AI a lot. With that I feel as a senior dev that indeed I don't need as many juniors as before, and I dearly miss having some junior dev to ask the "dumb" questions that I forgot to ask myself sometimes. AI still does not fill that role.

What helped me with AI is not caring as much about the number of LOC as before, as long I met the product's needs.

I hope you can find some comfort, keep your temper cool, so your daughter can feel that as well. That she has at least someone to hold and float.

My best wishes and I hope that 2026 could bring better luck.

As an introvert living in Rio de Janeiro, I can tell you that a lot of being happier in a hot climate with a lot of people around is just a social mask.

When I start deep questions about financial safety, the future and so on, just by asking I can be labelled as a pessimist. And I'm far from that.

I'm a fairly resolved and confident introvert, but I know many timid people that feel ashamed that they don't feel "happy" in these large group of people, that are extremely agitated and yelling around to grab some piece of attention they need.

And what is being shown in social media, documentaries and etc is just one pov.

Is there a way (like a CSS rule or something similar) that when you look at the main strudel window, it only shows the piano rolls, punch cards, sliders, etc - but not the code?

Maybe with just the comments? This would be killer, since I have dual displays, and on one I can just focus on the code, the other one can have all the visual stuff.

I'm using this plugin, but having the code twice distracts me a lot (but I prefer the original neovim instead the integrated vim mode inside strudel).

Thanks in advance!
