@3YearLetterman Whitesnake didn’t make the cut?!

I have been thinking about this a lot.

I think for a great many of engineers, the ones who did it because they loved it only to discover that money was in fact at the end of the rainbow found both the journey and the destination satisfying. In fact, I think I can argue with authority that the destination was only satisfying as the journey was difficult. The hard-fought evenings spent toiling away on an idea and codebase that slowly gives way to your vision was an incredible experience.

The group of people that fell into this category of hard-fought journey and destination we will call them tinkerers. One thing tinkerers have always hated is the already known problems. The journey is clear as day. The obstacles minor inconveniences. Its purely a matter of typing the solution into the terminal. This is also why I think so many of this group goes out and does open source, or starts companies. Work largely falls into this category with few exceptions.

From this reason is why I largely find UI work soul sucking. I know the solution, its a matter of just looking up the details and putting it into my editor. yawn. CSS, flex box this, grid that, put the tailwind classes in the bag.

To me, the LLM software world is with little to no journey and discovery. Its more of simply taking my high level idea and just formulating it into testable, atomic chunks that can be verified. I have traded my favorite part, discovery and raw creation, with itemized list of TODOs and patience and "No Mistakes."

To this, every morning from 6 to 9 I simply just hand code every thin. even UI things. It is because I want journey and discovery and raw creation. Maybe one day comes and its just so futile that I stop this. But for now, I still see such great value in this. I see such better thought through products. Because slowing down and truly thinking through everything. The architecture, the design, everything is an expression of discovery and creation. And I love it.

I am sure there will come a day, maybe even in the next 6 months where I change my mind. For now, I pursue the love of the game intentionally.

I do also believe that there exists people who get the same joy I got from building with tears and sweat by prompting LLMs. I am positive of it. I just don't understand how. But people love UI work. I also don't understand that.

@eyelidcloser @NinjaTurtleLair “Resetting the computer” wasn’t so easy to figure out in the early 90s without the internet at your fingertips.

Buried within the BS Republican Budget bill is a provision that harms poker players and those who gamble by limiting loss deductions. I’m working on a legislative fix that fairly treats gaming losses in the tax code.

@PlainviewEnergy This looks fantastic!

@NugsGetBuckets Why is Jokic only ranked Satisfactory? He should at least be a B or A at this point.

@Underdog__NBA Joker struggling with a case of Embiid lately?

@BSlingin @NBAFirstBasket They went up the last few minutes otherwise they were both significantly EV- bets at those odds

@NBAFirstBasket So are the discord picks free now since you’re only charging for the data?

@KDTrey5 Easy bro - not all of us Nuggs fans are the same. Most of us have nothing but huge respect for the game not to mention mad love for our country. I/we hope to be celebrating the gold medal along with you and the USA squad.

@LakeShowYo How? He won’t ever surpass numerous Laker greats including Kobe let alone MJ. Let it go…

[Brett Guy @bguyzer]

@ThePromoguy123 Not seeing this boost

@kiiLkenny @FDSportsbook @ActionNetworkHQ https://t.co/TE4kTSUKVG shows it as a layup. Per their house rules, it should be scored a layup. They’ll fix it.

Perfect quarter for us there
