I'm trying to reduce my subscriptions. Luckily I have my perpetual license from over a decade ago. Score!

@HusKerrs I’ll try to offer a different piece of practical advice: Use paper plates and plastic utensils during the newborn period. There’s a lot going on, and you probably don’t want the stress of dishes piling up in sink during that first month.

@javilopen When I use AI, I am constantly re-prompting, redesigning, and tweaking something that I did not make, which takes longer than if I had just written it by hand. AI never abstracts the way I want it to. It can solve other problems for me, but not WRITNG code.

[Aurel Lazar @Aurelinator]

@javilopen I’ve made the executive decision that in my own life, I still write maybe 95% of my code by hand (at least for code that matters; if I’m making a throwaway script of course I’ll use AI for that). I find I am significantly faster without AI code than I am with it.

[Aurel Lazar @Aurelinator]

@javilopen That said, it would be stupid to not use AI on the side. I use it for finding bugs, for discussing design patterns, and best practices. I’m doing my best to use AI as a tool. That helps me do what I love: writing solid, well architected code.

[Aurel Lazar @Aurelinator]

@javilopen In many cases, I find the act of actually writing the code is the way that I identify the design I’m looking for. It’s hard ahead of time to prompt for a design that I haven’t yet thought of because I do my design work by actually coding.

I personally find any celebration of murder abhorrent, but I hope this helps you understand why people you might know are celebrating murderers (e.g., Tyler Robinson; Luigi Mangione). To them, yeah, the act was 'bad, of course' but it was 'honorable' because of the outcome.

If anyone's wondering why the Left and the Right cannot grasp each other's reactions to Charlie Kirk: the American Left has slowly shifted to an Honor-Shame Culture while the American Right has remained a classic Guilt-Innocence Culture.

[Aurel Lazar @Aurelinator]

My personal theory is that it's the cultural abandonment of Christianity leaving a 'moral system' without a foundation, but it could be something else that's the driver. The Left's shift toward 'SHAME' is real, but the reason could be something else.

[Aurel Lazar @Aurelinator]

@gavinortlund Absolutely. This is a great idea. I could imagine two great games on this topic: a “Secret Heretic” type game where one player plays a gnostic or some kind of heresy; or a strategy type game with little theologian cards with historical blurbs about who they were. I’ll stay tuned!
