There really should be some kind of federally guaranteed consumer protections against planned obsolescence

ok so I looked it up and saizeriya is vertically integrated across their ENTIRE supply chain. like to the point that they own wineries in italy. explains a lot actually

I'm grateful to have taught myself to code when debugging was the actual education. You'd sit there staring at a stack trace for 45 minutes, mass googling, and pouring over stackoverflow answers. It was painful, but at the end of it you knew your codebase intimately Now that the fix is usually one or two prompts away people just plow right past it (myself included). I left corporate Nov 2024 but I'm positive the industry is being flooded with juniors who can ship like crazy but can't answer a single question on how anything works. They're getting answers without ever learning how to form the question and I don't think enough people are worried about that

every time i go to saizeriya i genuinely cannot comprehend how they make money

Every AI tool has a mass conversion event where the entire community decides overnight that it's trash. Cursor had it. Claude code had it before fable. Now I feel like gpt is a few weeks away if they don't drop something good. The loyalty cycle is like 6 weeks long

yesterday I spent $85 on a kapital jacket in tokyo that would cost $600+ on grailed. the arbitrage between japanese secondhand stores and western resale is genuinely stupid and I will never be able to pay retail again without feeling scammed

when I left my corporate job people kept asking what my plan was. my plan was to stop wanting to die on sunday nights. that was the whole plan. it's been a resounding success so far.

me: add a stripe hosted checkout page codex: good idea btw let's add atomic webhook event ledgers, same-second event tie-breakers, subscription replay/reconciliation tooling, custom stale-event guards, webhook shape validation, and test harnesses for every edge case while we're at it

genuinely how is there such a market for identifier apps when the google mobile app does it for free. Literally used it yesterday to find out what was flying around my flowers

companies will spend insane money on docs infrastructure and still ship content that reads like it was written by someone who has never used their product

How do I filter out all the engagement bait posts that ask the dumbest most inane questions

Japan makes some of the best clothing in the world. Like with everything, they're perfectionists. They also have maybe the best secondhand markets. Ever since I found this out I've been obsessed Recently built something to scrape it all for me so I get all my clothes for like 1/5 to 1/10 of retail Anyway, my girlfriend says I'm autistic

claude's usage budgets are just shamefully small compared to codex

Bleached flour + corn syrup shaped into rectangle = $5 Hydrogenated peanut paste + sugar = $4 Corn syrup + Red 40 = $4 18 bags extruded corn fried in cheap oil = $12 Pesticide apples, 9 mo in cold storage = $5

I have literally never been more excited to build things

wondering when someone finally cracks generalized personalized tutors. you say “I want to learn XYZ”, it figures out where you currently stand, then feeds you the material in whatever (probably science-backed) way you actually learn best. feels overdue at this point
