   This is a more general question, which is "Why don't people take accountability for their actions?" Because it's hard work and it's easier to let someone else bear the costs.

   This drives me insane! To combat it, I maintain a list of banned words and phrases. Claude mostly follows this (but sometimes ignores it). blast radius, land, landed, lands, spine, earned its keep, grammar, spike, cutover, bake, seams, hone

    Maybe because Brendan Eich was tasked with "doing Scheme in the browser" before it pivoted to JavaScript.

    I maintain a list of phrases I beg it not to use that it frequently ignores: - smoking gun - blast radius - landed - spine - earned its keep - grammar - spike - cutover - bake - sprint, epic, story points (all Agile vocabulary) - paper-cuts

    I might need to do a spike as this is a core part of the spine. I will verify it and let you know when it's landed.

    Does the OP honestly believe that the cost of maintaining a good blog is the €4/month hosting cost?!

    I used to do this when I was in grad school as a matter of principle. F the man.

    I do understand this sentiment. But I wish these experts would see that they too are novices in literally every other field that they are not explicitly trained or experienced in. It is fun to explore curiosities even in spaces you don&#x27

    I feel this so, so much. It is a very exciting time. I have had a very specific goal in mind and I could work out large parts on my own. But there is a lot that I didn't have any basis or time to build expertise on. Using Claude Code t
