spirituality doesn’t have to mean you believe in spirits in the sense of ghosts etc. I believe that if that’s where the definition of exploring one’s own inner world ends, then that person has missed the point.
The bastardization of the term “spiritual”/“spirituality” has done deep damage to the collective psyche. The view that spirituality is following dogma rather than an exploration of the ineffable from your own subjective experience is a widespread failure of communication.
Equating a belief in gods with spiritual discovery is also a take.
If you swing an axe with a lack of hand eye coordination you don't think it's possible to seriously injure yourself?
It's very very smooth for me now. Impressive. Thank you for sharing!
Because this isn't just converting HTML to markdown. I'd recommend taking another look at the website and particularly read the recipe example as it demonstrates the goal of the project pretty well.
I'm glad you shared your experience because I've dealt with this for decades. It's usually a small snippet, 15 seconds or less, of a song that just loops over and over for me.
What I do to combat this, and other "brain noise", is also to listen to music but I use headphones with high volume. I also listen to the same playlist repeatedly so it's not distracting and instead quiets that loud part of my brain to allow me to focus.
I agree that not everyone wants to be. I think OPs point though is the market will make “not being a prompt engineer” a niche like being a COBOL programmer in 2025.
I’m not sure I entirely agree but I do think the paradigm is shifting enough that I feel bad for my coworkers who intentionally don’t use AI. I can see a new skill developing in myself that augments my ability to perform and they are still taking ages doing the same old thing. Frankly, now is the sweet spot because the expectation hasn’t raised enough to meet the output so you can either squeeze time to tackle that tech debt or find time to kick up your feet until the industry catches up.
If you think of FE web development as just HTML, CSS, JS and the framework de jour then I could see that. However, the most skilled FE engineers I know aren’t just doing that. It involves handling CI/CD, performance profiling/enhancements, CDNs, debugging node environments, asset management, caching strategies and the list goes on. I’m not necessarily arguing that it should be included in CS degrees but all of that is surely not a designers job.
I’m no climate scientist but I would think it’s similar to toxicity/poisoning. You can die from water intoxication but certainly you need it to live as well. So no, I don’t think it’s subjective. It seems to me that if something is capable of causing harm in a certain amount, it’s poisonous/pollution/toxic.
Ah okay, I understand the perspective now. Thanks for the extra information.
I'm legitimately unsure here but how are single parents incentivized financially? That's an environment that I am wholly unfamiliar with so I really have no context.
Don’t you think that blockers affecting long term timelines will have ripple effects for higher level planning? Not everyone involved in that communication will be clued in to the day to day messages.
I don’t think that’s another way to state that… The original statement is a bidirectional statement. Meaning you should also be able to decline calls and the other party will have to respect your preferences some of the time. It’s just basic balance and social graces, really.
Yeah exactly. If they signed a multi-year lease, they are still on the hook for the same amount of money but the space won't be used. It might feel bad but it was already budgeted for.
Status pages are just not reliable unfortunately.
I like this idea. Thanks for sharing!
Which is the rub, right? How can a non-expert reasonably come to a conclusion of whether or not an expert's prediction is baseless or is actually solid/insightful?
I just moved to the suburbs and, while it is winter, I'm surprised to see that my wife and I are usually the only people walking to places. Even ones that are hundreds of feet from our door!
It's also correlated with fed talks of rising interest rates which tends to coincide with capital moving from risk-on assets to risk-off assets. Growth tech stocks are taking quite a hit too.
Unless you sell uncovered calls… that gives you unlimited downside risk and limited upside since a stock can theoretically go to infinity.
It’s not technically shorting but you are making a bet that the stock will remain the same price or lower.
