If you stop hyping new models they will get cheaper.

Used all 8 arms today. Retouched poorly generated illustrations, built a new 3d image component, built a responsive nav and the backend to support it. Finally, drew a custom illustration of a robot on a get-well vase for a coworker. My desk plate just says, "I got you."

There's a consorted effort in the YouTube app for TV to only provide lucrative video thumbs at all times. There's a video I've unfinished but returned to twice and there's no continue section at all. I have to go 3 screens deep for history. It's insidious.

I got an agent building assets in blender, exporting game assets and building modular stages in UEFN last night all over mcp and it was way too easy. However I need waaaay more gpu for this shit.

You should check if this is turned on.

In what other industry and can you improve your tools on the spot? I've always loved that about software.

Been practicing getting comfortable on camera and when I try to hit bullet points I'm dry AF. Showed some coworkers dhh videos and they're like dude you talk just like that. So I guess I just gotta go off top?

Yes I can Google it but then we'd never talk to each other. Can someone explain what -Flash means in models?

If your plan is to deep link me into an app I don't have an account with yet and expect me to ever arrive at the destination, just don't. This can't be done.

The is an excellent baseline. Reset to clean the slate, html to define your projects flavor, layout for construction and a design system for component tokens. Seriously just learn this stuff.

I've been all over the tools and you don't want to hear this but vscode absorbed most of your favorite features and is easy to work with.

Sorry but acting like css-in-js is suddenly better this time is further evidence of how far people will go to not learn css. StyleX is just a ton of useless mental overhead when SCSS is fucking brilliant. Tailwind at least had a ton of hidden benefits. Should I expound on this?

I can sense another iteration of a historical precedent. When an industry risks irrelevance they tend to buddy up and create weird bed fellows. Typically the juggernaut devours the smaller guys in the process. Watching the tech creator community lean on each other gives me pause.

The amount of personal space we're able to bring to work with us is alarming when you consider you used to have to just raw dog 8 hours with no media.

I outlined a novel a long time ago about a certain master of loopholes. Slowly built up a believable origin story but now that the economy is squeezing people I'm seeing people act this out. Now I'm just going to seem like a copycat.

Hot take: css [@]layers is a terrible spec. It sits along side old css rules so then you just end up fighting two battles. Usage anywhere should intrinsically create layers everywhere.

You would hate to see how productive I am in vscode. It's all there.

My current position: there's no real benefit to skills, agents, memories, and spoken language based corsets around your harness. This isn't the glorified decorator pattern that React is. You're just making a gimp. Code is context.

Kid asked me, if I was a boss, what would my boss fight music be. I need to think hard about this one. What's yours?
