React is what powers your Windows Start Menu.

Every dollar you spend on anything Harry Potter goes straight into this.

It can become pretty bad quickly, with just a small project with only 15-20 files. I’ve been using cursor IDE, building out flow charts & tests manually, and just seeing where it goes.

And while incredibly impressive how it’s creating all the steps, it then goes into chaos mode where it will start ignoring all the rules. It’ll start changing tests, start pulling in random libraries, not at all thinking holistically about how everything fits together.

Then you try to reel it in, and it continues to go rampant. And for me, that’s when I either take the wheel or roll back.

I highly recommend every programmer watch it in action.

Pig buttholes? Gonna call bullshit.

That’s the challenge with technical advances. It’s not just solving the technical problem, it’s also solving the societal problem.

If you look back into history, Automated elevators was a major panic until people got comfortable with the idea.

If it gets me closer to Half-Life 3, then pipe that shit into my brains

I met a guy who would say “pan forward” and “pan it in an angle”.

You folks still say bot? I my company, we say AI.

Came to post this. Monthly donations. Bumped it up recently.

God damn it now I cant unsee it

This is going to sound stupid, but during college, I took a lot of different types of math and history classes.

As humans, we invented years, and ages. Then we made milestones for what they represented. We said, there are 7 days in the week. We said, there are 52 weeks in a year. Some other BS happen and then culturally we said things like by age 30, you should be married. By age 40, you should have a family.

But imagine if we actually made a week 10 days? Or there’s 30 weeks in a year? Suddenly, this is all BS numbers. Back to culturally, why is 30 a specific number? Or 40? Or any of these numbers?

For me, 40 is just a made-up number. It means nothing. The expectations around the number, bullshit. My friend is 55, and we went bar hopping. I hung out with a 70 and played Frisbee. I pitched go-karts and dressing up like Mario Kart to my 60yo neighbors.

Just made up numbers.

Of course, don’t get weird and and try to shoehorn underage relationships. That’s not the intent here.

I used it to make a meme.

My pro open-source teacher in HS pushed for all of us to use the handful of Linux computers and recommended GIMP over Photoshop. He even said we can download GIMP at home for free.

Back then, searching for GIMP gave you bondage suits.

And because we were immature fuckwads, we played real hard into that joke, to a point where the principal had to send a letter to parents about how to actually find free open-source software with links.

I don’t know what half those things are but I laughed at the words “Breast Mints”. No idea what it means.

I gotta admit, I was pretty amazed when they built Polygon out of scratch. It was just passionate game writers who is wanted to share the content they like reading. The first year was full of great writing. Then it kinda faded into the background, which isnt a problem.

Seeing how that happened gives me hope that a new website filled with passionate game writers will sprout up.

Speak for yourself. I had a security guard who watched me scan then try to run up to me when I finished to recheck my stuff.

Like dude, you watched me from the beginning.

It’s always a hassle for me. Items not scanning. The machine screaming about the item not weighing correctly. The machine screaming at you because you moved your item.

It’s great for quick purchases. But I’m going to a cashier if I have more than 10 items.

Yeah. Asshole did a number on America. I’m not letting him die in peace.

Literally this.

I still laugh at recruiters who ask if I’m okay that the company has a dress code.

I laugh even harder if it’s a remote position.
