Forever open tabs in Notepad++ (475 and counting for the lost 6 months at least).

I've used so many 'productivity' apps, it makes me sick to think of it. This has been the most consistent tool I've ever used.

Great work! I'm saving this one (I have it in a loop rn on my big screen).

Yeah, thanks for both posts. I love the narration with the live coding (like a conversation with voice and code). If I can get to that level, I'll die a happy man.

My friend, and ex-colleague, recently quit his high-paying tech job (Linkedin). In his blog "Wandering Ideas of an Engineer", he continues to journal his path focusing on growth.

I have an always running session of Notepad++ with (currently) 356 tabs open. I can search through all of them if needed. This worked for me after also piloting several solutions.

I was Alex (my name is not Alex). Graduated high school in 97, but with a 2.1 GPA (yeah, pretty bad). Went to community college while working part time, living in a 'separated' household (mom/dad did the splits), supported both my parents both emotionally and financially (as much as I could) through their transition and new living arrangements. We were all immigrants, and still learning the ropes in this wonderful country. I did not graduate college, but instead went the part-time/apprenticeship/gain-experience route, while going through many roles. My baseline was to be a good citizen. A good son, a good partner, good friend, good husband and a good dad (4 wonderful kids). There were many good times, but also sad times, including when we lost our house and cars (2008), and that month when we literally didn't have money for food... but this country gives you many opportunities. There are safety nets, use them! You just have to focus on the goal: Move forward! There is always someone else who needs more help than you. Stay the course, and try not to lose perspective.

I'm one of the luckiest people alive because I live in this country, and was always able to surround myself with supportive, positive and forward thinkers.

I don't know why I shared this. Maybe because I don't care to blame society for my adverse experiences. Through those experiences, I learned to lead. I learned to listen. I learned to value and appreciate. I learned to live.

Well... It just took me about 7 minutes to write all parts of one song, and it actually sounds like something that could have played in the radio (popular). This was in a Latin rhythm too. I don't know what to think of this :\

Oh, thank god it wasn't my brain! I've been so confused for the last 20 minutes. I kept looking at my queries, and making sure it wasn't me. Half of my results are gibberish that has no context to my queries/chats.

This is a weird one!

Example: "I hope to have shaped the biro to your current will, the best, to brace. A stir, a kiss. A spate. Would this new tryst be the seam to your bed and lieve? Or a hint for a hew, a tad or much, it's your candle to cheer. Let's veil, or vail. A par or pert, the am is might. Your might, to wiry odd, or weir, it's the met or mew. Be it the sip, the kith, or the kine, is sung. I'm here"

Why not just rebrand the 'Windows' key with 'Copilot', and make either the start menu or copilot launch based on one key press or a key hold?

I'd have to say, it is also very irresponsible to throw a line like 'Hallucinating Chatbots' and not provide any more insight into what that means, and/or how it applies to AI and end-users.

That's funny... within 5 seconds I searched for "Karaoke" and it is suspiciously not mentioned in the page.

If this were to be fake, it would be the cruelest video on the internet, IMHO.

This is such an amazing display of talents, it requires and analysis video of its own to go over the geekery, the music, the time and effort, the creativity, the whys and hows. I was speechless and awed throughout the video and reading about the project. I feel so lucky to have seen this!

Happiness.
