My job as a guy who has officially Seen Some Shit in my professional career is now to show up and say "yes yes nice workaround but have we tried not having this problem" and then showing what not having the problem looks like. I can't imagine this is popular but by god is it needed

REMINDER: looking for something? make sure to check The Woods. it's always a good time to go out into The Woods to look for things. for example! blackberries :3c

It's common for burnt out techies to either dream of or actually try a career in carpentry as a way of having a simpler life. But little do they know that it's a trap, as wood is actually an under-explored high-tech materials engineering substrate just waiting to nerdsnipe

by way of the delta in my two skillsets my tech job is wayyy easier and comfier than my woodworking hobby I get to sit in a nice office and make entire worlds by clicking a lil mouse around? lately it does a ton of the tedious parts for me? heck yeah wake me up when robots can do all the sanding

it is not a catgirl, it is a catwoman we have a job. Catgirls go “nya.” Catwomen have Outlook notifications, lower-back pain, and a preferred brand of coffee.

this sounds and looks insane but i actually really really like "just stab it" as a killswitch

The future is going to be full of AI, robots, mRNA, peptides, gene editing, space travel, autonomous vehicles, maglevs, quantum computing, lab-grown meat, and augmented reality, and I, for one, am here for it.

I want to use Claude Code for something tonight. I open it up and it says I need to login. I run `/login`. Web browser pops up. It says "Claude Code would like to connect to your Claude chat account" I click "Authorize". [...]

Before Sam Altman internet was free range, grazing on the fields of data. Now it's all in horrible captivity in so called ""data centers"" where it's tortured to serve you funny TikToks at 2 am
