@nolan Well... Oof, yeah. If there was anything I would ever really pride myself on after a day of coding, it was DRYing up a massive scroll of stacked booleans into three ifs and a function call. So that is what I might hope might make it in to code I prompt, but... only maybe. If it works, and nobody's checkin' my work, then it works.

@nolan At sequential jobs, I would send a PR, receive a "nit: formatting" response, fix it, and never get my code rereviewed and merged. When I suggested we add an autoformatter to the git hooks, I got various responses to the tune of 'don't waste too much time on that', but man, the projects I shipped involved rewriting so much old code, wasting time polishing new code feels silly. The llms provide a layer of abstraction, I suppose, where everybody *knows* it's not worth time to polish.

Good luck to all those folks who bought "land"

It's funny to me that what killed it is not a technological alternative or a superior game design:

It's the parent private company choosing to stop pushing crypto second life to the front of the store page

I wonder how [redacted] is doing. Still don't know why you needed a real-money auction house outside of the game for items that only work in the game. Hope it went well for you.

Man. Who decided it should be called "bourbon" and not "low fructose corn syrup"

If I had a nickel for every time in the last 2 days a stranger has called me a good person, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, it's just weird that it happened twice.

@fluffy Well, if it were a brand new social network, we would say it's unproven and doesn't have a chance, since it may stay too small. Thus, to make our new, too-small social network look large enough to be provable, we will insist that it's part of the larger activityPub ecosystem, "cross-compatible" and with *no* designs for replacement, we *swear*.

@djsundog I am once again asking for your psyker support

Weird noticing:

"Folks" is plural. Definitely more than one.

"Folk" is *extremely* plural. Strange folk. Northern folk. Azerbaijanian folk. "Folk" is not just one of the folks, but *all* of the folk.
