What makes you think it's a solution?

If the logic is "get rid of your bad blood, let your body make some good blood instead", why would the body make the good blood if all we consume is full of plastic anyways?


Even by that logic you should still dilute your blood, because if you don't you will accumulate plastic faster...

You will see a benefit for any and all harmful substances for which blood tests exist. Because the blood test implies blood levels being a proxy for the substance so it either accumulates there or leaches into it.

The horror. People making weekend plans.


I bet he his in US, from all countries, it seems to be the one with more people that see work for live as some kind of sin, to be looked down upon, one has to work every second of their lives, when not they are being lazy.

Especially around SV culture, this goes over the top.


Spot on, even though I'm not from the US originally. I changed three countries, chasing the job pool availability. Although I can't say I'm looking down on people who figured out how to live fulfilling lives without a job. I find this extremely fortunate. As for me, when I'm not building software products at work, I do it at home in my spare time. And one thing I noticed is that the job is a great amplifier of my efforts. I don't think I can have the same success or even impact through my pet projects. So, in a way, not being proactive and fully engaged at work is wasting time. Not being lazy per se, even though that might be related.

That's what the evidence suggests.

Yes, could not continue, that was too much.

Because they are fun.


> was to HARDCODE the special case which I had shown it.

Happened to me as well while trying out GPT-5. My prompt was something like "fix this test", where the test contained a class Foo.

It gave me the solution in the form of "if element.class == 'Foo': return null". Gave me a laugh at least

i am saying every single AI company has agents using my site, and some have no fucking respect at all and the growing pains have been immense for an independent company like mine (i'd say about a quarter of our dev time this year).


"We are not much better at building railroads today than we were in 1950." - in the US - maybe. In other countries - I doubt that's the case


"If only I could spend less time with my kids and instead more time on implementing a new feature until the end of the month" - an ideal employee through the eyes of the employer


People always say that about productive writers
