Ever read Flowers for Algernon?

Yes?
It’s like that but it’s my knee and a cortisone shot.

No?
It's a short story that inspired the episode of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia this Charlie with conspiracy board comes from.

One of the books that made the biggest impressions on me as a kid was Flowers for Algernon (which I read far, far younger than was advisable as an advanced and voracious reader).

So I have to say that now living through an unacknowledged and unchecked pandemic that causes cognitive impairment and watching it steadily erode the people around me is a very particular kind of waking nightmare.

I got a really nice $5 bouquet of flowers from Aldi today via Instacart.

Can’t stop admiring my Flowers from Aldicart and giggling at the Flowers for Algernon reference.

I confess to have never written a single line of code using AI (and only used it for proofreading a couple of times).

Having read what Kent Beck has written regarding his experience with “augmented coding” using the “genie” there’s an interesting case to be made.

When your brain becomes less willing to put up with the boilerplatey part of coding but you still very much love doing it maybe AI will help bring the joy back.
