My Jira tickets are written by AI started just feeding the ticket into AI (shrugs)

No I only do that for unit tests so far

I went through like a mid-life crisis when the thing I learned/spent last 13 years on became meaningless.

I saw another guy I'm trying to find, he's Asian, one of the projects he did was make a map from raw OSM nodes I think. But he used a "niche" language like Zed and worked directly with GL idk was trying to find him. One of those really really good programmers. His videos are in English. The map is like Brooklyn or some part of NY.

Might be a good buy, I don't print much mostly need black and white shipping labels

I did open the thread and didn't see an actual printer shown except the e-ink device but aside from that, I hate printers buy a cartridge it's empty after 3 prints wtf... now I just go walk into some store like Walgreens to print stuff

If you like e-ink device reviews this is an artsy channel think small leather notebooks https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-oOqFUuULOk

For me my favorite is the RM2 but I keep selling/buying it back due to poor financial decisions but I love how it writes and long battery, plus hackable, never paid for a subscription. It is an extra device too so unfortunately not used that often I spend most of my time in front of a desktop but have multiple laptops too/drawing tablets.

ge96 — Tue, 01 Sep 2026 15:12:17 +0000

I feel like I would have been a different person if I was diagnosed. Probably finished my physics/aero degree. But idk... I would buy it and it was fun to do recreationally which supposedly means you don't have ADHD. Anyway I ended up not finishing school but I got lucky that I still became an SWE.

People would say "just ask for it" but I remember having to try and do these tests like look at these abstract shapes and what not. It was multiple sessions I eventually ran out of insurance so yeah I just abandoned it. I don't like the side effect of shrinkage down there when you're on uppers.

That's crazy I remember doing work on there a long time ago. It was sus work like manipulating Google SEO rank by looking up and clicking links. But still it was real money even if it was pennies.

I think the weirdest thing I had to do was scan through social media images... so weird seeing into random people's lives.

I did it in the late 2000s or early 2010s.
