The fact that I paid $230 for 32GB of DDR4 SODIMM is mind boggling... That's the one regret I have with these Mini PCs, the RAM was cheap and died after a year or 2. Wish I did the bare-bones units and got Crucial RAM before it was just erased from existence

We still have farms out here, but they are not as common. When I do see one though, I will stop and buy whatever I can for produce, eggs, even pie/baked goods It just makes sense to support local farmers, and eat healthier food at the same time. Everyone wins.

Peace tea is one that comes to mind. It used to be sustainably sourced black tea, and pure cane sugar. Coke buys them and now crappy tea, High-fructose corn syrup, and way too sweet to enjoy.

It is so sad when big companies buy smaller companies, and completely ruin them... Case and point: Multiple food and beverage companies. Built on home-style, organic. They get popular, they get bought, and the ingredients are changed to GMO, High-Fructose Corn Syrup to save money. The quality […]

I refuse to bend my use-case around tools. You should build the tools around your use-case. Somewhere along the way, folks have lost this ability. This is why I like GitLab. The flexibility of the CI pipelines, integration with your repo (test report UI) is unbeatable

That being said, telling it simply "Make me a connect 4 game written in JavaScript" will give you something amazing.

AI makes tasks easier, it is not magic though, Without direction, it will do the least amount possible to get to the end goal. A proper plan, and checks throughout the process (security, tests) needs to be implemented for production ready code.

I am #2, I find enjoyment in understanding the stack first, the code second. How you code something, and what you code it in, is less relevant at this stage since AI can do this for you. It is more about "When I do this, I expect this" and having all of those scenarios up front before engaging […]

My goal in life is to work as hard as I can for as long as I can (within reason) so that I can retire early, and buy/build a small farm. After all these years in tech, it has made me appreciate the smaller things in life, like raising livestock and crops. Lets hope I can get there
