  • Proceeds to use Svelte cuz it has the exact features I want

    React is popular but I honestly don’t care about llm weenie vibe coder junior devs being biased towards react. Lions don’t concern themselves with the opinions of sheep.

    The majority of shit apps are being made with react sure.

    But skilled seniors who intend to make something robust don’t even tend to have an llm enabled that will even influence their opinion on the first place. The majority of senior devs keep repeating the same sentiment: llms primarily are slowing them down more than helping.

    Junior devs that crutch on llms are falling behind and the quality of their output shows. They grow slower and produce worse output.

    It’s one thing to use it for monotonous tasks, but if it influences your higher level important decisions you are probably already cooked.


  • Whenever a racing game comes out and they put sonic in a vehicle, I wish they’d note it in the lore itself

    It’s gotta be a case of “sonic we are putting you in this car to make this race fair” which I’d find hilarious if they acknowledge it out loud.

    IE have him say something like “don’t make me get out of this car” or whatever as a threat, or, “I’d have won if I wasn’t in this hunk of junk” or etc

    The entire concept of Sonic in a car is hilarious to me, because while everyone else is going fast, he’s just like “oh my goooood why is this thing so slooooww”


  • Getting a later special meeting request with the ceo, at one company, because he wanted feedback on their interview process itself. He then offered me a different job and I had to decline cuz I already accepted another (this was a few weeks after the initial decline I gave)

    In another case they just fast tracked me and I ended up declining the job anyways (didn’t like the job)

    I’m full time employed but I still do occasiobal interviews to keep feelers out for how the market is. But I typically decline most offers cuz they’re not good enough to get me to actively quit my current job.



  • In the “right” use case, story points should just represent relative effort.

    The hours dont matter, its more about ranking how challenging a task is, in order to help the manager rank the priority of tasks.

    You should have typically 2~3 metrics:

    1. Points, which represent relative effort of the task to the other tasks you are also ranking.

    2. Value, how much value does doing this task provide, how important is it

    3. Risk, how risky is it that this might break shit though if you make these changes (IE new features typically are low risk since they just add stuff, but if you have to modify old stuff now your risk goes up)

    If you have a good integration testing system automated, Risk can be mostly removed since you can just rely on your testing framework to catch if something is gonna explode.

    Then your manager can use a formula with these values to basically rank a priority order for every ticket you now scored, in order to assess what the next thing is that is best to focus on.





  • Eh, Im not conservative but I do think this is a valid bipartisan criticism.

    If they pulled this stunt with a liberal leaning byelection Id consider it a greasy trick.

    I have no issue with putting a cap on ballot names via some kind of reasonable system (IE if you get more than x candidates, then the top y candidates can only go on the ballot based on who has the most vouches or whatever)

    That way you can avoid dozens and dozens of randos flooding the ballot to confuse people. It’s a valid hole to patch in our system that both sides should be on board with fixing in a reasonable way.







  • I still today use, and hear familiar millennial use, “lmao”

    Usually ironically with a twinge of negativity. Pronounced “luh-mow”

    IE “Did you here the US elected Trump again?” “lmao

    Usually only used on its own, it suddenly sounds weird if you put it in a sentence but purely just used as a response to show ironic dissatisfaction quickly.

    Pretty much the verbal equivalent of an eyeroll.
