    same here, except that i’m learning that i’m losing touch enough with pop culture that i don’t get the jokes from other newer movies like this.

    but on the flip side, the scary movie series has become a delightful time capsule of the 90’s and 00’s because of it. lol



  • i used to collect mine too, but incidentally so as i encountered discarded towers in e-waste bins and my own failed hardware.

    somewhere along the way; i stopped using towers and lost access to e-waste bins, so my personal inventory ran low enough to make resuscitating my home server for free an impossibility.

    there’s something strange about knowing that it’s impossible to obtain a full sized tower for free in the present day; i suspect it’s indicative of the technological change that collectively stands before us.



  • If you do something like software engineering and you have a significant body of existing good work for it to pull from. Claude can be pretty exceptional.

    the fresh grad new hires at my last place were able to code circles around me because of their embrace of ai and it made me think that i was already a dinosaur and became the biggest reason why i went back into IT.

    It’s not great at breaking new ground though.

    but watching the soon-to-be grads w a similar embrace fall flat on their faces repeatedly because the codebase at my new place hasn’t been updated in almost 15 years and was created by their fellow students, has made me realize that this is also true.

    still though, if you know what you’re doing; ai is a pretty decent idea/concept generator and sounding board if all but one of your colleagues are students, so you don’t have anyone else to ask like it is in my present situation.
