Yea this is like the “Alan Rickman did his first movie at 45”. Like sure, but he was a mega accomplished stage and British TV actor for 20 years prior.

I hate that I read this while taking a leak

On GitHub, after you make a PR go up to the URL. Right after the pr number add .diff

This will give you a full pr diff. Paste that into what LLM you’re using. I usually prompt with something like

“You’re a senior web engineer. Give this PR a review being aware of modern code practices and syntax. Try to uncover possible bugs. Give 3 to 5 actionable suggestions.”

There’s probably a way to do this in the tools, I’ve just found this works.

These people all work for what seems like huge (video game) businesses. It’s a pretty entitled position to say results aren’t the most important thing. The fact is, they are. If you want the freedom to do things your own way at your own pace, go make your own indie game. I guarantee these “journey over results” types would end up with feature creep and never ship a finished product though.

On the coding side, I’m a senior dev who has been in the industry for 20 years. Not video games but for the web. Easily 40% of the code I ship now is AI written. I’ll use a different AI to review my PRs saving my coworkers time catching the little mistakes I overlooked.

I’ve cut days off my workload over the past year and to say all AI is slop is being intentionally obtuse to the tools. Basically we’ve all been promoted to manager roles and LLMs are the mid level workers we oversee.

This article is trying to paint a picture that these tools are without value and I can feel your finger hovering over the downvote button but the fact is the genie is out of the bottle. They’re not going away and today is the worst they’ll ever be. People that say they’re slower with these tools are going to get left behind by people who are proficient with them.

I was thinking the other day, imagine a plane went down in 2015 with Kanye West and Elon Musk aboard. It would be like “ah man, there go a couple legends”.

15 minutes is crazy fast and assumes they just get exactly what they want first go. You need to factor in running your PC using Photoshop or equivalent, which is fairly resource intensive, sustained over what is realistically 40-60 minutes at best, sourcing assets from servers which are using energy to serve the images. Compared with AI which has high usage for sure but it’s extremely short bursts.

Redemption events at shoppers turn 200k into $300 or 250k into $400 on Black Fridays. Last year they had an event to double your entire point spend which was the best redemption yet (500k became $1000). I’ve used these events to get my PS5, PSVR2, Xbox, switch, Sonos speakers, Apple Airpod Max, sim race wheel. Of course starting this year they’ve stopped carrying all the cool electronics.

All this being said, you can only redeem a max of 500k in any translation so keeping anything more than that doesn’t serve much purpose.

This one had a fair bit of success in America, they had popular cartoon in the mornings in the late 80s/early 90s. I think it was my first exposure to anime.

Make no mistake, this was also years in the making

You’d have your favorite mix tape with a bunch of radio announcer clips because they kept talking over the song intros

Hell yea brother. So many “movies you must see lists” are like Come & See, Grave of the Fireflies and the whole Decalogue. Don’t get me wrong these are all great but we so often leave silly joy out of the great film canon. I’m gonna continue this vibe

• Tampopo
• Paper Moon
• Sing Street
• Who Framed Roger Rabbit
• The Sting
• Hunt for the Wilderpeople
• About Time
• School of Rock
• O Brother Where Art Thou
• Midnight Run
• Barb and Starr Go To Vista Del Mar

Ok but serious question, I don’t want to personally manage my music library on a server. For movies and TV this is fine, I consume a couple of these a day but if I want a steady stream of new music streaming apps have made all this very easy and very convenient.

When my 4 year old yells out in the car for a specific song, will these cover it?

Yup! Also the other host Christian appeals to the Sega kid in me. He’ll uncover gems that evoke the Dreamcast era.

People are more likely to go online and complain than to compliment. But why take internet comments so seriously. I have a handful of trusted sources that I use to get my opinions on games. DLC Podcast for example is a favorite of mine. I’ve gotten to know their tastes and where they overlap with mine so when they get excited about a specific thing I’ll know if I’m likely to enjoy it based on our shared interests.

When you get a handful of voices that have a strong overlap with your own taste then you can get outside of the tribalistic bitching of the hive. Comments don’t even concern me anymore.

I mean, there’s plenty of private sellers at stores in your city who are hurt by Amazon. Ultimately the local shop or the Amazon seller is going to lose the sale to the other and I’d rather the money stay in my community.

The dates make it specific and actionable. Just saying boycott Amazon is obvious but doesn’t rally people like a time sensitive group effort. And it’s not really pushing purchases. Lots of people just buy everything through Amazon so this gets people to try alternatives and if a few of those stick as long term changes it’s a net win.
