@usr_bin_roygbiv @zekramu wha, do people use agents to answer emails now? 👴🏻

@exlinoa @zekramu have fun talking to my agent and everyone else's

the boomer obsession with email is incredible. it’s just like a regular mailbox atp. a forced necessity by a society that cant move on

@zekramu slack is a solution for an artificially created problem where you have tons of people who cant work by themselves so you have to micromanage them In my last team for which I hired people myself we were basically using slack only for sharing memes, eveyone was working autonomously

@exlinoa yeah what the fuck

>trying to solve a problem with opus 4.6 for 20 minutes >no success >meanwhile gpt limits refresh >now active gpt advisor instantly finds a critical bug and suggest a fix that solves the problem tl;dr: use gpt 5.5 and omp

@usr_bin_roygbiv it explains how mistral might be on a sick leave for a year cuz of anxiety thx to european laws tho

This will be remembered as the absolute top

@ImLunaHey Bowser

i need a name for the browser im working on, anyone got any ideas?

@usr_bin_roygbiv “Hmm, your CV says you have 1 year of experience with Python. But you clearly have 5, haven’t you?”

good recruiters are like defense attorneys. bad recruiters are like the publicly appointed ones

@usr_bin_roygbiv And when you talk to a dude and get what he wants to say in the first 0.5 seconds but have to listen him actually finish the sentence for 20 another seconds dhdhskhsgdjs

talking to people IRL just feels slow now. I really do not care about sportsball and I really don't want to have to explain what an api is or why default settings in chatgpt or claude are awful and not what people are acutally using to get work done

@oleksoleksoleks @usr_bin_roygbiv Yes

@exlinoa @usr_bin_roygbiv >Kazhakstan Bratan.

if you ever think psychiatrists or the gov are safe to trust at face value remember alan

@usr_bin_roygbiv “omg if we elect this red dude he will DESTROY the country!!! Why are you not scared of this???” “brother I grew up here”

@exlinoa eastern europeans are the most conservative people i've met in the us

@exlinoa this is a feature not a bug

Am I the only one who prefers talking to gpt over opus or am I just autistic

@0xIlyy Damn man that’s unfortunate, thankfully Dario has a solution for you

Trying to understand how usage credits got enabled without me turning them on, then managed to exceed my monthly spend limit by 479%? No wonder Anthropic is profitable

@VinciRSS Claude is very bad now and also try omp.sh, every model you use will suddebnly become much better

What should I get this month?

@usr_bin_roygbiv @0xIlyy fkn based, league was always for low skills you cant deny and block creeps there

@0xIlyy dota players run the planet

@zekramu “Why have one meeting when we can have nine?” - your favorite manager

legitimately there are so many jobs that it’s hard to just pick one. i mean, why have one bitch when you can nine?

@unequivocalfaux @usr_bin_roygbiv If you have the desire for a better life you won’t lose it, so don’t be afraid of miserable jobs and even miserable life. It all just a part of a greater journey for a brighter future

@exlinoa @usr_bin_roygbiv Yeah actually. I have this option. But it's white collar or you're doomed. I'm taking my skills and education seriously because it's that bad.

>I'm extremely desperate for a job bro i'm starving >I'm not being picky >I can only work remote i'm just going to stop responding to non blue checks at a certain point

@usr_bin_roygbiv @unequivocalfaux Especially if you have an option to live with parents, you can save like 95% of your income

@exlinoa @unequivocalfaux people miss that if you work somewhere with zero opportunities it also means its cheap and you can save money lol

@unequivocalfaux @usr_bin_roygbiv Man idk your situation but having a job > not having a job. If dont have swe jobs in your area then wor at fkn mcdonalds, save some money and move

@usr_bin_roygbiv Location wise man. Any job I want out there is gonna be remote. And for where I'm at, I need a certain certification before I can be employed and I'm about to go for that. Why are you assuming I'm lazy or something? Tch!
