@lapcatsoftware maybe those fucking keyboards? And the Touch Bar?
If so, very accurate.
@cjwirth oh I see what you mean.
Yeah, for example— red baseball caps. Can’t wear those anymore 😆
@ashfurrow just read this post. Do you mount a Magic Keyboard underneath your desk just for Touch ID? 😆 love it

In Canada, “Engineer” is a protected term. I am a software developer, not a Software Engineer. There are valid reasons – historical reasons – to restrict who is a capital-E Engineer, but these reasons are at odds with how the term is commonly used today. Nevertheless, my job title was “Software Engineer” for seven years while I worked in the US, and I personally think that software development is best approached as an engineering problem.
Has anyone used this? Do strict LLM permissions not suffice?
Seemed like a nice idea. But it's just an 8000-line shell script written by some guy.
