Is it all vibe coded? Looks and feels like LLM slop.

I’ve learned so much, and it took only a few minutes. What a treat.

I had no idea about masking, even though I’ve been doing it for as long as I remember being alive. Aaaah, it’s so draining. When I was younger (in my 20s) I used to think there’d come a time when I’d finally come out of my shell. I’m pushing 40 now, but the shell is only thicker, the cave deeper, the walls taller. Instead of dreaming that one day I’ll be “like everyone else”, I’m contemplating the day I’ll cease to exist. Funny.

> In the US, we can learn a lot too.

Alas, American exceptionality as part of its premise precludes any act of learning from anywhere other than itself. Culturally, this is what inbreeding looks like.

The repo is 100% AI slop.

Advice to OP: lay off the Claude Code if your goal is to become an “independent researcher”. Claude doesn’t know what it’s doing, but it’s happy to lead you into a false sense of achievement because it’ll never tell you when you’re wrong, or when it’s wrong.

LinkedIn is for those who don’t have a GitHub. My work speaks for itself; if it’s somehow not enough, the company isn’t worth my time anyway.

We just got back from watching the launch in person from Cocoa, FL. It seemed as if ten thousand people have come out to watch the rocket climb up. Everyone cheered hard, and spirits were unbelievably high despite traffic and rain.

Please don't! I love working remotely; but I don't want to travel for work. I don't need a party. I don't need a fancy offsite. I don't want to spend a week with colleagues in some ridiculous tropical destination.

I want to quietly work from home, deliver quality work, get paid for it, and enjoy my life. Being forced to travel is the opposite of enjoying life.

This was my stance before the era of COVID-19... Now, I'm definitely not boarding any kind of airplanes.

It's the parents' job to teach kids how to tell junk food from healthy food; predatory apps from apps which add value; "you're the product" from "you're consuming the product". I do this with my kid, and technology is a boon for her. However, most adults aren't qualified to make the distinction between good and evil, so their kids suffer too.

For me the daily standup is a chance to be debriefed by the project manager so that they can convert my updates to actions in JIRA. It's what liberates me from having to personally interact with JIRA. In that sense the standup is worth its weight in gold no matter the format.

Such folks normally designate one property as their "primary residence", commonly defined as a place where one sleeps 183 nights out of the year. That's where one pays local taxes.

You'll end up paying New York income tax too, which is quite hefty.

There are plenty of people who moved out of NYC/SF and continued making their NYC/SF salary while working remotely from Nowhere, USA. Companies who cut pay based on locale will soon see their workforces dwindle to nothing.
