I’m with you here. Further: Even though I disagree with it, “GitHub down, Microsoft bad” is a defensible take, but we’ve seen it ad nauseam at this point.

In agent-mode mode, IMO, the sweet spot is 2-3 concurrent tasks/sessions. You don’t want to sit waiting for it, but you don’t want to context-switch across more than a couple contexts yourself.

GitHub Copilot with Opus 4.5 as the model is great. I have not tried Claude Code, so maybe I don’t know what I’m missing.

Our problem with modern lego is that the sets are so cool and complex that the kids don’t want to take them apart after they’re built. The 11yo wants few new sets now because he doesn’t know where he would put them, and declines to swap out

Everyone’s got a basket of things they can love or hate about this place when they’re in the mood to love or to hate. That’s something to love, I think.

It’s not unreasonable. I like Messi as a better suggestion though.

Bananas are amazingly cheap. At least here in the US Midwest. Even the organic ones. They’re my reference for “cheap food”.

Wondered this too. Diabetics are at risk for hypoglycemia because of the insulin they take, not the diabetes itself. Maybe metformin for a prediabetic could have this effect?

Really dig Kenji’s low-stakes YouTube vids. He makes it look easy in a way that ends up actually being easy.

Derek Sivers does this and has a section of his site with all his notes: https://sive.rs/book Great source of interesting reads, too. So some potential prosocial utility there, too.

I think it’s generally easier to get a promotion and/or a big raise by hopping. I used to think frequent hops would yield a sketchy history on the resume, but my sense is that it’s becoming less unusual.
