The biggest chilling effect I noticed, even as a developer who refuses to use AI, is that I feel like I can no longer ask my co-workers for advice. When I do, I get the the AI equivalent of “let me Google that for you, was that so hard?” So even without using it, I feel cut off from the normal places I would use to learn and improve my coding skills.

When you get a job that has a retirement plan of some kind, money from your paycheck will get put into an account of some kind. But once it’s in that account, you have to actually invest it in something. I spent years with my retirement savings just sitting there, not doing anything because I didn’t pay much attention to it and nobody told me otherwise.

You can do it! I’m rooting for you!

I did this one not too long ago! One thing that helped was recognizing that there’s no “roar” delay like when the first one shows up. You can just attacking as they fall down from the ceiling. Second was trying to optimize for damage to take one out asap, and reduce the amount of time you need to dodge both of them simultaneously. For me that looked like Barbed Bracelet, Flintsteel, and Beast Crest. Good luck!

Secrets stay safe in spite of people knowing them, not the other way around. It’s like saying, “More holes make the ship more boyant”
