Messaging apps are a lot harder to get right than you might think. I worked for years on messaging using XMPP and the problems were legion. I'd be very interested in seeing how a vibecoded app does at scale, especially with the presenc

You could learn some mainframe stuff using the Hercules emulator[1], but you'd have to find some z/OS installation media somewhere, and I'm not sure if that might infringe copyright or something. Also, JCL is absolutely horri

This is false. Studies done in Wuhan show that people with CVD have well over a 10% mortality rate. In addition, COVID-19 has the potential to cause permanent disability if it does not kill you first.

I think it depends on one's personality. I worked for some years using that hybrid model and really didn't like it. Now I work 99.9% from home and vastly prefer it. My only real gripe is that teleconferencing for meetings just d
