First: I agree that plasma “donation” centers are 100% exploitative.
Plasma is 100% needed, though. My son wouldn’t be alive today without the countless plasma transfusions he got during chemo when his counts dropped.
It all sort of sucks across the board. This paints China as exploiting the US, but realistically, the idea of us giving those in need plasma isn’t a bad thing—it’s just the grubby money exchanging that’s the problem.
25yr GameDev here. AI Prototype? Yes. Long-term code? Oh hell no. And this is me speaking as somebody that uses Opus 4.8 heavy all the time.
It speeds up dev time slightly. If you are finding that it speeds dev time significantly, you are 100% taking on tech debt (dare I say complete and utter spaghetti).
It generates code okay, but it does not make it anywhere near maintainable.
Not really, unless really stupid encryption was used. The best quantum can do is the log of a problem space. It can do log(N) if the problem space is N.
God exists and only accepts those who question his existence because blindingly accepting his existence are not properly utilizing his gift (rational thinking) to mankind.
Claude has a place for simple tasks. It does a great job of being an “advanced find in files” or being a “smart boilerplate generators” but anything remotely more complex and the issues start to show, really quickly. When writing new prototype code, it does very well. But when you have to handle all sorts of edge cases, it doesn’t do it as well. It also doesn’t do a good job with debugging anything more than surface level. Opus does slightly better, but even then gets into the frequent “I found the issue! oh wait, that’s fine. I found the issue! Oh wait, that’s fine” loop over and over again.
And before you ask: Yes, I’ve been using Copilot CLI for work pretty regularly for the past couple months.
Aside: It doesn’t help that the true token costs are off by a factor of 100-1000. Yes, I know general reporting is saying the breakeven is 10x, but…well, you’ll have to trust me that’s not accurate.

Dumpster juice. That’s the best way I can describe it.

I win Pascal’s Wager.
“Tell me you don’t develop software professionally without telling me you don’t develop software professionally.”
/me Someone that has leveraged Opus 4.7 way more than most
“I’m so embarrassed, I wish everyone else would die.”
Oddly enough, this would work to alleviate a panic attack if somebody was interested…
“Download this shell script from the web and execute it right away.”
Probably close to 80% of the words in the sentence are wrong.
Last I launched, it was something close to 14k hours. Haven’t played in close to 10y now.
I played a lot of TF2 in college…a lot.
TF2: I had 9.5k hours in spy alone
Constantly refer to the instructor as a she. When corrected, push back and call them “snowflake woke pronoun warriors”

Nah, stay. Just have loud conversations amongst the audience ignoring anyone onstage/with a mic. Ignore anything that is said.
Make the speaker angry enough to leave.
“Wait, why is this not a CSV file?”
I never suggested they were stupid. Just that they may not know the details. So I explained it.
American Biscuits and Gravy is pretty much universally approved once they get past the appearance.
Tried it some relatives some time back. They were so confused/disgusted until they tried it. Wanted it every morning for their visit thereafter.
Every time I call them they mention missing it.
It just occurred to me that younger developers may not see the whole joke here…
For those unaware, a magnet would corrupt/destroy the contents on the floppy disk.
It’s not unlimited transfer like Backblaze. Also not as fast.
I’ve had a good experience with pCloud. One-time lifetime fee. Just set the Immich directory in its entirety as a backup folder.
3TB is a weird place to be with their pricing, though. You can buy 2 TB twice, iirc.
