I love the noises it makes ❤️

It came out not super long ago (2023) but Jusant has been a lot of fun and chill.

Train yourself to use the AI only for doing grunt work. I used it yesterday to split 1 cypress test into 3 separate ones for example. I force myself to solve the problems and don’t lean too heavily on AI (it doesn’t increase output anyway in my experience). Copilot gets tons of shit wrong that I end up having to manually write.

I wish we could trade this dimwitted fuck for Val Kilmer.

That’s how it should’ve been, even if for nothing other than the symbolism. She doesn’t support Palestine, but no one they prop up ever will. Best we can do is keep applying pressure. We also need to run on the assumption that federal elections are a joke in the US at this point, and the Democrats aren’t going to do anything outside of upholding the status quo. Regardless, abstaining is pointless and multiple things can be true at once.

I use it specifically for communists and socialists that lean too much on figures and less so on ideas. Specifically figures that use authoritarianism to achieve their position. No matter how you paint things, I will never agree with the idea of work/re-education camps. If you can look at that and be okay with it, I’m curious what mental gymnastics were required to get there.

For the record, I’m a socialist but I look forward not backwards. We can achieve these things without having to use authoritarian tactics.

I think you misunderstand where my “who cares” comment comes from. I care about the actual outcome (which is currently terrible as everyone predicted). I just think it’s a pointless thing to fight about. I don’t care about “both sides bad” crap. I care about what we’re going to do now that a fascist is here, and planning ahead for the worst.

The whole thing leading up to the election where people argued over who was worse was tiresome and divisive of people that should be aligned. Conservatives still voting for Trump are a lost cause but leftists have common ground and shouldn’t be wasting their time arguing over something that ultimately leads nowhere. They should be preparing for the worst case scenario as a unified front.

Yeah, this. They need this to be completely test-driven. Build a foundation and build out/finalize in pieces. If they had an actual dev team that knew what they were doing, someone would set them straight. They also need a ton of time to gain an understanding of what every part of the existing codebase is doing.

I’ve been a programmer for around 20 years now and I can tell you with 100% confidence that this is going to be an absolute fucking disaster. I’ve built project features—not even full projects—that took months. Hell, we launch one on Monday. This would realistically take years, and after seeing how garbage the DOGE site was built, I have zero confidence in the incel team Elon scraped off his Steam friends list.

Best advice I can give is delete all of your US-based social media. I did and I regret nothing.

Being the person that won’t stand for the national anthem at a hockey game is fun too. You fully expect some asshole to give you shit but it hasn’t happened yet.
