I (codex) made a plugin for stremio to stream my collection from real-debrid. I tried existing plug-ins first and non was working. Just prompted chatgpt to refine my initial specs, and asked on another session to build that. And later used codex for the last mile. Nothing fancy though and nothing can be particularly useful to others but damn it was too useful to me and my wife.

Which subscription do you have to use it? Via Google ai pro and gemini cli i always get timeouts due to model being under heavy usage. The chat interface is there and I do have 3.1 pro as well, but wondering if the chat is the only way of accessing it.

The only thing i don't like about gemini models (gemini cli) is that there's no transparency on which model I'm using. I can start with pro and it can be downgraded sometimes even to gemini 2.5 flash lite.

Sublime is quite good. I have always been using sublime for quick edits, dumping notes etc. But lately I came to appreciate it more as a lightweight IDE. I use go (lsp and some plugins) and ST (sqltools) in addition to package manager and project manager. I like how fast it is, how well polished the editor is. And generally all plug-ins i use work nicely. Also claude helped a lot (eg writing some shortcuts for specific scenarios that I tend to use a lot).

Not to say anything against Zed though. But sublime with one session of claude can help you build your very own customized ide.

I was doing this but I got worried I will lose touch with my critical thinking (or really just thinking for that matter). As it was too easy to just copy paste and delegate the thinking to The Oracle.

That's a really well put. We are expecting a son soon and as I was reading this read and your comment, I couldn't help but asking myself will I ever say anything that my son will remember for years. And how can I be prepared.

Worth to mention is do reach to your friends and network telling them you were let go of / looking for a job. There's no shame in that, and in fact, it can help a lot.

Another small points: reduce your expenses. Basically plan for the worst in terms of budgeting. Widen your search space. There are other younger markets in global south you can also approach.

Theres this expression i couldn't exactly translate to English. It goes along the lines of loosen up your body (literal translation), but it's more about yielding to the flow and less about physically doing so.

I think copilot is very aggressive on tokens and context size. That is how I guess the economy works for them.

I think the riskiest migrations are the ones where migration is done in parallel. Internal org power struggles get leaked, whole teams are lobbying against the effort. And on top of all of that rediscovering many things all over again. That in response to cases where a company might decide that the fix too all legacy -> new system is by throwing more money at the problem.

> I would adore to see obtaining a drivers license ratchet up in difficulty in order to remove dangerous human drivers from the road.

I'd like to challenge this part. I don't see the value of increasing the driving license tests. Reckless drivers can be reckless regardless of their initial driving license tests. You just need drivers with sense of responsibilities. they will get to know road norms as they go, which often is far more valuable than the driving license quizzes.

Context: I moved to a new place where acquiring a license can take more than a year. It turns into a game where driving license companies deliberately fail you just to get you to pay more.

I can see the author's point but im failing to link it to ai. The ai im using now is a good as a productivity booster for otherwise already well defined problem-- and decently good engineers.

I dont think the layoffs are due to that. It is affecting entry jobs rather badly, but that (anecdotely) constitutes minority.

Add to it the ability to cut through the bullshit and follow through tasks till completion. The amount of bullshit that ICs, QAs, and products can spin in rounds and add to that the new bureaucracy that comes with being a manager is just unreal.

This time last year I was in Kampala for roughly 4 months. I used to cook at home and I avoided any process food. Zero to little carb. I was walking a lot though and quite regularly (the weather there is just so good). Now, one year later I moved to Dubai and I think I gained around 10kg.

The only difference being the amount of processed food and the lack of my daily walking routines. But granted, I gained 10kg while im on one meal a day.
