I wish more people had balanced takes on AI. The tech is at a point where you can't pretend it's not useful for solving certain kinds of problems. Doesn't mean you have to make it your entire personality and talk about it 24/7 or use it to generate slop or steal content.
I keep having to tell Copilot to stop using made-up words/terminology in its code analysis to sound smart. It's like we're in middle school and I'm grading an essay from a student who's trying to BS their way to an A. So frustrating.
The only proper way to start a Skyrim playthrough: 1. run past everything in the opening scene 2. kill the bandits near the guardian stones 3. clear embershard mine 4. stealth archer (implied)
Since my day job has essentially been reduced to relegating tasks to Copilot and holding its hand, fixing its mistakes, and evaluating its performance in order to provide feedback, does that mean I'm eligible for a promotion? Clearly I'm in a managerial role now.

Did Bluesky finally remove age verification? After I paid for proton? lol

texas.gov requiring you to enter the state for your new address for a driver's license replacement is really funny. I dunno, take a wild guess what the state is.
I'm addicted to writing lists What's so great about writing lists? Good question: 1. They help me stay focused since I get distracted easily. 2. I like the feeling of crossing something off once it's done. 3. I can add as many items as I want. 4. It never stops. 5. I can't help it. 6. Please help.
I definitely did not inspect-element to enable a disabled button in order to submit a form. And it definitely did not work.
It is very cool to work for a company whose work benefits you in your personal life through services you use
YouTube TV is crazy if it thinks I'm going to pay $83/month after this free trial is over. I'm pulling the ol' use it and lose it for the world cup.
"AI has stolen the parts of the job that allowed me to get into flow state. Has it done that for you too?" www.tiktok.com/@_kyleshevli... Kyle's experience is why I avoid using AI to do my work. I just don't want to give up my brain, and I don't want it to suck the joy out of the work I love.

Wrote a very low-maintenance bash script for Windows that uses robocopy to back up files from my PC to two external hard drives. It's extremely fast and better than manually copying stuff over since robocopy can detect file changes for you. Is this something that would be useful for other folks?
Finally learned how to use DaVinci Resolve for video/audio editing and man, it has so many more features than what I was using before. Pretty cool.
I've been practicing bends + vibrato on guitar for 2 weeks straight and I swear my calluses are growing calluses lol
Thinking "oh god i hope i don't mess this up" is almost always a sure-fire way to mess something up lol Every time I am recording a guitar video, if I don't shut off my brain and I start to think about my playing, I immediately mess up every single time.
I can't count the number of times I've accidentally moved a node to somewhere else in the DOM in Firefox's dev tools because the pane scrolled on mousedown, I can't be the only one
I've had $8 sitting in my Buy Me a Coffee escrow for 4 months because it's below the $10 minimum threshold to withdraw, I guess it's their money now 🤷
