> resale value and being able to buy used games for cheap This is exactly how I do it - I don't have much time for gaming as much as I would like to so I just buy one game at a time (~90% of the time it's used one),…
ran the security 'plugin' on small app, in 15 min it eat up all of my quota - so it did exactly what I was expecting it to do
_no god! please no!!! nooooooo_ can AI collapse already please so I can buy some ram? thx
only 100x? why not go beyond 1000x? I swear, the tech world is in the state of some global AI psychosis

> But I’m not reviewing that code (...) That's the spirit, I always say - _others_ will deal with AI slop during code review. Eventually they will get tired and start 'reviewing' this AI stuff with AI - so it's a win…
that sounds nice, thanks for sharing The Numbers! :D
nice write-up! I wonder tho - did the optimization really affect CI wall time? In my experience such micro optimization rarely move the needle - it obviously matters because a lot jobs are running in parallel, but did…

seems like I need to update my toolset for the 3rd time this week
Oh yeah, Oracle; if you want to see where contributions come die see mysql-operator - ton of stuff broken, pull request fixes (like most obvious, no-brain bugfixes) slurped into bugs.mysql.com oblivion never seeing the…
same; I think codex with gpt5 changed things for me; then opus 4.5 turned out to be also useful (yet quite pricey)
1. Work in sh-tty and buggy codebases to begin with 2. Then you can't see the AI slop in mountains of existing spaghetti 3. Profit _For more life hacks like and subscribe_
If you're (speaking in general) going through such extremes - working 16h/day then farming and 'discovering' god - I would suggest looking into therapy; simply to regain balance; I also had a period in my life in my 30s…

I love synology; bought one around 2018, runs nicely until this day; received last DSM 7.3 update so will be supported until 2028 but I will probably keep it running until it dies as I don't expose it to The Evil…

don't bother; this company is in constant hiring mode; you can check previous "who is hiring" threads to confirm; random example: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40228613
LLMs are great for self-contained boring tasks; recently I have started to refactor ruby tests with a simple prompt (getting rid of various rspec syntax in favor of more explicit notation at cost of code duplication -…
Typesense has been a godsend; amazing piece of tech and on top of that fairly easy to operate even in HA mode; if you can fit your dataset in memory I really recommend giving it a try

I second that - similar experience; and it was like two years ago; seems they are in constant hiring mode without need to hire anyone, I will never that - why waste time?
