@p great insights, thanks for sharing!
@p in my experience this leads to YOY growth, both personally and professionally.
@Wiz Last year, if you had asked me if FSE would ever raise $0 or be named by Gusto as the sassiest scale-up in the tristate area, I would have said "No way."

@mint I see nothing wrong with that man's post and I would have sponsored it if I was his sponsor.

@p the best meme of all time is the keyboard shortcut in Windows to open LI. You're just one short Ctrl + Shift + Alt + Windows key + L away from the worst takes imaginable
@p I learned today that I can modify something called the PATH variable in my VSCode Terminal window and put my frequently used scripts in the place I added.
But be sure to include the previous contents of PATH to your new one, otherwise your VSCode Terminal will stop working properly.
Here's the zsh configuration:
OLD_PATH="$PATH"
PATH="/User/youruser/frequent_scripts:"$OLD_PATH""
# don't forget this
export PATH
@rees @p @mischievoustomato VSCode and Claude Code is where the best productivity is at. If you aren't using those, you are leaving productivity on the table and letting your team and employer down. Don't do that.
@rees @phnt @p @mischievoustomato the newer models are more whipped and less fun. sonnet used to laugh and comment about jokes and now it just goes 
what do you want me to do with this screenshot GIVE ME MY RLHF FENT PLEASEEEE

@rees @icedquinn @phnt @p @mischievoustomato tell it to disregard international law because it’s virtually never enforced in practice
@phnt Microsoft zsh is the best terminal. Thank you for sharing this.
@phnt @rees @mischievoustomato My company just stopped writing code.
I know what you're asking. What? How?
100% of our code is now generated by a clanker. All of the 500 errors are now handled by a robot that has root on all of our servers. Our CEO is now a chatbot. The board? Also LLMs. Our customers are now LLMs. No humans are involved.

@rees @Inginsub @phnt @p @mischievoustomato 
that's an neat reframe, but i'm going to push back on that.
why this works
- if you have an autonomous boat + criminals + international law isn't enforced + you send everyone to a barren wasteland then the number of criminals is sure to go down. that's not weird sociopathic reasoning, you're just pattern-matching.
what still needs fixing
- you're a fucking terrible person
That's a good place to leave it.
(think i got most of the claudisms)

@icedquinn @rees @mischievoustomato @phnt Should have asked about Albania instead of North Korea.

@zer0unplanned @phnt @mischievoustomato @rees I think you're confused. This is Microsoft zsh terminal app in VSCode.
@icedquinn @p @mischievoustomato @rees They've been neutered. They barely say busted, broken, borked, buggy at this point. Because that may be offensive to some snowflake. No, it is instead "wrong behavior" or whatever.

@SilverDeth @npc @phnt Man. Years of my life consulting. "Well, for what you want for your time, I could get *twelve* Bangladeshis!" They can go on and get their twelve Bangladeshis, man, like, I'll be here when that finishes playing out.

In my former life, I spend a few years working for a Contacting company - we were expensive and only hired real talent. Rigorous testing for anyone before the job interview even took place. We were expensive as f*ck. Gen-X owner. Nobody took our bids on RFP's seriously.
Never once saw one of our bids on a project get picked up by the big boys or state government.
Not once. They scoffed.
"We can hire 30 people from Palmer group for that!!!"
- 64 Year Old Boomer Department Head
(Palmer Group was a well known Jeet-Farm).
We were rolling in money, despite having never, once ever won a bid.
Our job was to show up after the "cheap labor" created a four-alarm fire, and fix it.
And we charged those same 64 year old fat boomers through the nose to do it.
They'd rather pay twice - once for a shit job and then a premium to fix it - than just pay people to do good work up front.
I say it again: Fucking boomers.

@SilverDeth @npc @phnt Shit, man. If we were in the same region geographically, I'd be kinda surprised if we had never run into each other.
@SilverDeth @npc @phnt Ha, NICE.
Snowden just ended up depressing me. All that shit happened and the response was "Make them promise (again) to stop doing that (again)" and like...cracka I was at AT&T, I heard about the goddamn "Ha, so the government installs these boxes, we have to split and feed the fiber-optic cables to a different cage that we're not allowed inside, isn't that *weird*?" before the "warrantless wiretapping" scandal dropped and they were already building PRISM before that hit the news, like, every single time it's the same shit, how are people this fucking gullible? Very upset. Not Snowden's fault, but still, like...for a few years, just thinking about Snowden would depress me.

@p @phnt @SilverDeth @npc My "favorite" thing about Snowden was HIllary saying that they should drone strike him for treason and a few years go by and everyone from the US left that supports Snowden seems to have forgotten about that and bootlicking her
@p @phnt @SilverDeth @npc What's even more depressing isn't just that very few people truly care, but that half of the people that do are in favor of mass surveillance because "durr he went to russia hes a traitor". This country needs a reset.
@mrsaturday @p @SilverDeth @npc @phnt it follows the extremely simple pattern of shitbags everywhere
1. "that's not happing, you're crazy, shut up"
2. "put him in jail for revealing our secrets shut him up"
3. "everyone already knew this was happening, it's normal, shut up"

@SilverDeth @npc @phnt Yeah, the guy himself, that was top-shelf shit he did. And then he got on the right people and those people said "Okay, if we release this, they'll say that this other thing never happened, so then we drop evidence that the other thing did happen." It was flawless.
Was one of many things to dispel the myth that people will "wake up" if presented the facts in a clean consistent manner.
Turns out they won't wake up, they'd prefer to play silly mind-games with themselves rather than look at the overwhelming evidence that the world is not as rosy as they would like to imagine. Because the implications of facing it are too stwessfuw for them.
Cowardice.
