silicon valley tech bro VCs, so yeah

I have one fart's worth of empathy for the idiot, though. He is likely massively upside down on the loan since those things are toxic and have shit resell value. He is probably financially stuck with it. And this is simply unstated/implied in the post.

Man, eating some omelette scramble while high as a kite is amazing. Thanks for giving me the idea D.A.R.E.!

Bro already has an ass-dent in his swasticar that you can see in this picture.

Continue the thought to its natural conclusion: That was back before degrees were financed with tax payer money... which allowed people to fall into indentured servitude with debilitating repayment schemes that most will carry until they die. Pros: Someone way smarter than you is making your coffee, waiting on you, driving you around, and delivering your packages. Cons: Society doesn't actually get to benefit from the advanced degree it fronted the money for.

Because then education ends up being about the damn test instead of developing beings. The goal shouldn't be passing the test, it should be learning how to learn, plus a good base in general knowledge so that you can apply critical thinking and successfully integrate new knowledge and experiences.

It's a crutch. Some perspective introspection questions: Is it really boosting your productivity? If the LLM can do most of the nonsense being asked of you, maybe it is time to consider a new role with more challenge and skill required?

Mid career is the time to take on larger projects or deeper technical fixes/augmentations now that you have a solid foundation of skills. Without this kind of experience you'll be one of those "seniors" that has the title because of tenure, but not because merit/skill.

I am undiagnosed ADHD and vibe coding just kills the magic. No longer am I in control. Can't achieve flow if I am not the one actually doing the work. Vibe coding is really being a ((n) engineering, project, etc) manager and that takes a different, uninteresting skill set plus patience to deal with the computer's fuck ups. I refuse to vibe code at work (fintech). Hell, I can't even use the LLM autocomplete nonsense in Intellij because it confabulates API like a motherfucker.

While the thinking sand is amazing relative to unskilled, for those of us that know better, it is a really shitty junior dev that sometimes can't even write code that compiles and will randomly fuck up other working code. And I just don't have the time or the patience to deal with that shit.

Here is an actively maintained, FOSS implementation of M:TG, Forge: https://github.com/Card-Forge/forge

It freely allows you to construct decks with any card (you can even make your own). Can do multiplayer (client/server), multiple different modes like planechase, archenemy, commander, etc. You can download other people's decks from the internet and play against the AI. The AI is alright for the majority of decks. There is even an '97 styled adventure mode that is pretty true to the original.

Man that must suck to have the lentils-taste-like-dirt gene, like 25% of the population does, apparently.

It ain't HentaiGPT.

Potentially wild angle to consider: it is a recreation of a child's scribble on their fridge because the child died.

Man, y'all are the craziest bunch on Lemmy. Some real fire memery here in TenForward.
