I used to play software Quake 1 on a POS Cyrix (remember them?) PR133 x86 clone. 30fps + 200-250ms ping. 30fps felt fine bit the lag was miserable until QW came out.

I wouldn’t put Breaking Bad over The Wire.

You mean “way past the E”

Gamepass higher “ad-free” tier with less ads - when?

It’s “id”, not Identification document software.

The one that bothers me most (heard a lot in the software dev world) is when people say process-eez instead of processes, even if it is technically a word now, like ain’t

Old google? I miss av.com (AltaVista)

And if it’s anything like my Dualsense, needs to be charged all the time. I basically use it as a wired controller now and barely use my PS5

I just hate the feeling of chatting with something that is designed to sound human when I got into software devrlopment because I got tired of dealing with people in the first place.

From my perspective natural language isn’t expressive enough to describe a computer program and that’s why programming languages were created. That’s one of the reasons you gotta keep prompting over and over again.

Couple that with the gambling type feeling I get when I use them (keep rolling the dice until something is spit out that “works”), just feels gross to me.

It’s really depressing to me because I really enjoy programming and I know there are tons out there like me who have had the same passion with it.

Yes to ban 👍

Dumb TV no spy

If you are a senior level dev you will spend less time writing your own code than ai and you will understand it better, and will not slowly lose your critical thinking skills in the process.

I am still more productive not using ai than anyone else on my team who uses it.

I grew up as a computer nerd kid in the 90s with my first computer being a 386 DX 66mhz off brand IBM PC clone with 8mb ram.

I was put on this earth to do computer stuff no doubt about it. I was the first on my block with dialup. I was the first on my block with DSL. I was the first kid on my block with cable internet. Taught myself C when I was 15 and and a software engineer professionally over a decade without any college education.

With that being said, what we call “AI” (LLMs) completely exhausts me and I have absolutely no interest about AI garbage. I am depressed because AI exists to cheapen literally everything I have a passion for.

When I was young I always wanted to be at the head of technology and always stay up to date with it I’d read books and news daily. Always had a genuine passion for it, but I can’t stand it now.

I just stay stuck in the 90s and play old consoles like PlayStation and N64. That gives me comfort and I know there’s no AI slop in those games.

Gotta admit it was a pretty good drive though

Not so much song but album.

First, listen to Ministry - With Sympathy

Next, listen to any other ministry album

If you think breaking bad is boring, try better call Saul. A complete snooze fest, and chuck is the worst tv character ever too.
