I have no shame mentioning my use of AI. It's a tool to get things done. Would you feel the same 10 years ago if you leveraged your IDE's auto-complete, generate getter/setter, create/refactor method, etc. functionality. Probably not. As long as you conceptually understand the domain, architecture and feature set, you're good.

If you are generating a bunch of slop and don't bother to review, guide or understand what's going on... then there might be a problem. But honestly, that's speaking for today. Down the line, who knows?

Software development as a whole might become more of a product role. Can you gather feedback and requirements and put them into clear understandable terms for AI to implement. And even then, that'll be abstracted too. I'm already leveraging AI to propose new features and to document current features.

It's an exciting time. Don't feel bad about leveraging the right tool for the job unless you are misusing it without bothering to gain experience and learn.

If they answer yes to any of the following:

- Have you ever had to work on the weekend or well beyond 5pm outside of your own personal interest/initiative?

- Are we required to be on-call

If there's any hint of "nah, we don't really write tests because we just need to ship stuff, y'know"

For me, it's much harder to visualize with my eyes closed (not impossible, just not as easy)... when I close my eyes, it's mostly black with some kind of overlay of what I was last looking at -- like burn-in on a screen.

But with my eyes open I can imagine up the elephants or anything else just as detailed as those that I saw in person (either via recall of what I have seen or imagining up something new). I've never given any thought to this... but now trying to explain that I can see something with my eyes open while still seeing whatever I am looking at at the same time sounds really odd. I wonder if the visual stimulation and recall are somehow linked, or maybe I just need to practice with my eyes closed.

Pros: No commute, no micro-management, so much free time to spend on hobbies or with family. Meetings tend to be more efficient since no-one wants to sit pointlessly on Zoom and those that go off on tangents are quickly shut down.

Cons: uhhhh... drawing a blank here. Maybe socializing with co-workers could be a thing that some people might miss?

Paywalled... but thanks doc! who could have guessed that a drug with anxiety as a commonly known side effect is not good for treating anxiety.

Pretty much. I see no realistic path forward that will lead to any kind of de-escalation in the world. Everyone just keeps poking the sleeping bear and adding more and more straw to the camel's back.

Does it need to automatically render whether today is Friday... something like this is silly but kinda works -- requires you to set the date though which I'm not sure is allowed.

<input type="date" min="0001-01-05" step="7" value="2023-07-03"> // valid for all Fridays starting 1AD

Then you can use some css when invalid: input:invalid { background: red; }

or whatever other styling you want, maybe slap some content on another element... you get the point

I can't imagine anyone going home in a good mood after spending a day surrounded by people angrily shouting.

I would love for someone to aggregate all the claims around coffee. It seems like every week I see a new drinking X or more/less cups of coffee may increase/decrease your risk of Y. Beer/wine too

I like having the option to do a long distance road trip. It's easy to find gas stations and it only takes a minute to fill up. I rarely see charging stations and I doubt it can recharge in just a minute.

Already mentioned in original post... but because I love it +1 on Elm

Why would I pay $1 million for a 1 bed, 600 sq ft apartment in the city when I can get a 3000 sq ft house with a couple acres of land for just 350k?

Sure it's an 8 mile drive to the nearest grocery store, but it takes less than 10 minutes.

My 1 mile drive to the grocery store in the city would often take me 20+ minutes due to traffic and parking was never guaranteed and was a huge source of stress. Both at the store and upon returning home (due to street parking).

With remote work, I still reap the same benefit of a nice salary but my cost of living and sources of stress are nearly gone.

It's simply a no brainer. I gtfo of the city when Covid started and could not be happier with my decision.

I'll vouch for the seltzer water. Turns out I'm just addicted to drinking carbonated beverages that aren't sweet... not necessarily the beer/alcohol. A lot of non-alcoholic beers are getting to be pretty decent too. If you want to stay cheap, even a bud zero is surprisingly tolerable and totally fills the cravings for both carbonation and that refreshing beer taste. Between seltzer water and non-alcoholic beers, I've massively decreased my alcohol consumption and feel pretty great. Would highly recommend for anyone looking to cut back

The answer is pretty simple... how can someone on a low income live in a city? When the cost of rent is more than you make in a month. It's just not possible. Take New York City -- the average rent in Manhattan is over $5000 a month. If you consider low income to be 50k/year. Rent alone would have you running a deficit of 10k/year.

You can always do a "cashless exercise"... assuming your options are actually worth something. Essentially it auto sells enough shares to cover the cost to exercise and leaves you with the rest.

yep, "things have started to take a toll" says it all.

some form of engineering... maybe electrical

I'd like to see some concrete examples... but if it's truly in there -- good for them! It has absolutely no reason to be in a math textbook.

I've really been loving Prisma https://www.prisma.io/

Depends what you are doing. Is it portable or sitting on a desk? I have both a 13"(my personal device) and a 16" (work provided device). I would choose the 13 over the 16 any day. I absolutely hate lugging the 16 around. It's just way too massive.

Now if it's gonna sit on your desk and not move, 16 is probably fine and could buy you some screen real estate. That being said, if it's on your desk, you probably have an external monitor so real estate is not really an issue.

In the end, your choice. My preference is smaller over larger.

Netlify is really easy. Just drag and drop your static site's folder.
