Interesting, I'd love to know more. Are parts of it public?

I was going to type you a sympathetic message and took a peek at your profile, and...well that's quite a resume you got there!

Accountability. Same reason I want to read human written content rather than obvious AI: both can be equally shit, but at least with humans there's a high probability of the aspirational quality of wanting to be considered "good"

With AI I have no way of telling if it was from a one line prompt or hundreds. I have to assume it was one line by default if there's no human sticking their neck out for it.

I took ~ to be a "singing tone" for some reason till I saw sibling and realized it might be an attempted strikethrough xD

Fair enough. I had a hard time advocating for good password flows because "standards" said frequent rotation etc.

And tbh when you apply those standards with context and are faced with people bare-minimum pointing at the standards, you sometimes come off as less knowledgeable - such is the authority of research/standards.

Anyway, I skimmed your profile and learnt a new word, milquetoast - so thanks for that!

Fairly obvious? Or isn't it that way for everyone?

Oh wow. I got multiple messages in a day and just assumed it was a cache bug.

It's annoying how I always get that "claude code has a native installer xyz please upgrade" message

You're not wrong. If comment sections were restricted to people who knew the subject matter AND the author, it would be empty indeed.

That's good reasoning, but the parent's point still stands?

You have no idea how glad I am to see you all here. xD

I asked it to add debug logs. Asked it to check debug logs. Stuck, locked me out.

Checked debug file, it was 1.6GB (!!!)

For a while I thought I was kicked out of the platform for violation of some T&C.

That's so cool! I'd love to see a picture of the whole thing.

I had some cartoon crochet socks made for my kid as well, haha! Pokemon, Naruto, Club Penguin, Road Runner... (he's 1 and so these are mostly from my childhood)

Anecdotally, I'm a fan and generally pick the rarer ones. Eg I had a pair of socks and a few stickers made for my kid which had rarer pokemon.

If OP got a tattoo of Pikachu, it was interesting to me that he picked the most mainstream pokemon (I assumed he was a huge fan)

But from the response, my sample of 1 assumption checks out: "When I was planning it was obvious there'd be a Pokémon due to his (continuing) interest in those and to me as a non-fan that's the most immediately-recognizable one."
