You need to have a bank account to live a life outside the woods.

I have multiple bank accounts, because I am a solopreneur, yet all of them are weird in their own ways

Actually I see very varying results in my work.

Sometimes I can let an AI refactor an entire codebase and then (in the same codebase) it generates absolute shitcode.

As that is not the case and improving the lives of their constituency doesn't necessarily get them voted for again AND whatever good they did may get undone before it really shows its effects: of course they only care about being reelected... Even if they had ideals and morals to begin with.

If the devices still scan all the time...

Living on the countryside there is no such problem.

Ah, the good old magic trick!

The absolute majority just takes shelter and sits it out.

The unlucky people who can't but don't want to participate get slaughtered.

The crazy ones thrive

Some are, others aren't. They just accept it willingly.

Just as in the Purge movies politicians are exempt ;-)

I have subdomains like {myfirstname}.{lastname}.name ... {lastname}.name is mine

So obviously {myfirstname}.{lastname}.name is a subdomain...

Could someone now have bought {myfirstname}.{lastname}.name and DNS would go to their page?

If so, I find the new behaviour way more sane...

If I wanted to sell a subdomain, I could do this, no questions asked. I just point the subdomain to another IP.

But I pay for {lastname}.name so it should be mine, just like any other .tld I have!

At least I hope this is the case. I have a memorial page for my uncle under hisfirstname.ourlastname.name

I am running on a Ryzen 5950X, 64GB DDR4 Ram and a Radeon RX 6700 XT with 12GB... I don't expect wonders, but I have between 11 and 120 (!) t/s.

I told it an open ended question: "What would you improve in this file at {location} in {bigger project}" and the context window seems to be too small. It's running in circles.

I must be doing something wrong.

Again, I am not expecting wonders and I am totally willing to accept that "I am holding it wrong".

using it in opencode

Or I am not a developer after all.

Identity crisis intensifies

I'll stick to passwords in my passwordstore.

If this is no longer possible, then so is my participation in many services.

It would be good if we would use less resources.

But we are not.

It's just that some people don't get the newer resources.

I've always enjoyed it. In my spare time.

Also I wouldn't go as far to say that I myself produce higher quality code than my peers.

I am between a 5/10 and a 7/10 programmer at best.

I bring other valuable skills though.

In the domains I get paid to work in, it simply doesn't matter.

The code was shit to begin with, because of hundreds of hacks due to underspecified or simply wrong requirements, bad code practices, architecture that couldn't keep up but was never fixed due to stubbornness...

Not saying we humans would do better or worse in general, just sharing my experiences.

I have customers where AI usage is absolutely forbidden and others where it's totally fine and colleagues vibecoded mess will come to bite them/us all.

People with money >> Politicians >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Average citizens.

But hey, you got Hollywood propaganda and unwavering patriotism to make up for it.
