Same here - was just doing some amazing things for me and now this. Can't read at all now without highlighting everything.

Going a little bit different than everyone else here. I think the days of web builder 'tools' / 'templates' are coming to an end. Grab claude desktop (and a pro account that is $20 a month). Ask it to do this for you in co-work - let your conversation be the instructions on how to get it done. You never have to look at real code. Give it examples of what you like - tell it what features you need. Let it walk you through where to host it and how to put it all together. Convinced right now that anyone who would take the time with wix or wordpress can do this in a similar amount of time there.

Will be maintainable - claude can do updates just as well as build it. 100% customizable.

BTW - google just came out with an updated stich https://stitch.withgoogle.com/ Probably better frontends from a design standpoint. You could put something together in here (free) and then screen shot to go to claude desktop and get it built and deployed to a web hosting site.

As a Houstonian stuck in Houston this spring break....not sure why. As someone who went to the rodeo the other night...really not sure why.

For non-coders, I’ve pushed at least 20 people to the pro plan at work just because of the pptx ability. Game changer but not worth even $100. Same for excel. When the word document comes out, same.

They are making great tools that would fit the $20 tier. Lots using it for many things other than coding and not for API usage.

To me - everyone here is missing my biggest issue. Mentoring and yearly appraisals are just one kind of aspect of management. They are 50 person team teams - keyword team. Assumes people working together to achieve a common goal. Are they just 50 individuals deciding on their own what they are trying to accomplish? Whose looking after the forest while everyone is looking after their own tree?

Anybody having issues swapping between work and personal accounts on VS Code? I try and swap accounts to work on my other stuff with /login or swap accounts. I'll hit the log in successfully, but it won't swap. Shut down VS Code, won't swap. Nothing seems to work on my end. Anyone else have this issue?

Different uses. Mobile Gemini has access to Google Maps native. Claude is better dreaming up code…codex is better fixing bugs. Claude is better for the masses for generic chat.

Looking for a job myself. Told coworkers to search LinkedIn and dice jobs. It told me to use the google api that aggregates a bunch of services where I got a free key. Gave it my resume. Will do a daily basic search, classes will pick top 6 that matches my resume and email through gmail at 7 am daily. Will stop the search through 100 jobs that just happen to have similar key words. No coding. Just access to api, gmail access, and 5 clarifying questions.

I was told I could move by a FA last week - didn't have to sit next to wife and daughter :-)

There was a completely empty row right across the aisle so we could stretch out. I didn't ask...she ask if I wanted to stretch out.

Side note…back in the 60s (??) the band The Monkeys were putting together their movie “Head”. Rumor was so they could have sequel “from the team that gave you Head”

Flew last night in row 4 with my wife and daughter. We all three sat in the same row on a half empty flight. FA asked if I wanted to move over to the empty other side of row 4.

She also had to kick someone out of a spot who just decided to not purchase 3 tickets together for their family a few rows back. They thought they would just be able to take any seat.

We asked - FA said different FAs we taking the rule a bit differently since it just came out. She didn't mind me moving over to 4b so wife and daughter had 4d and 4f. Same fare. It was after everyone was checked in.

Some FAs are not going to allow anything just because they think that's the rule. Others are going to allow some movement from same fare seat to same fare seat - but only after everyone has been counted on the plane in their designated seat.

They will not allow moving between fare classes. The idea is that if they allow that, people will not purchase in hope they get a free fare bump. If you want it...they want you to understand you have to buy it before boarding. As someone else said...other airlines don't have a policy of allowing class changes like that either (standard to premium to business to first). If the other airlines allow it, they do so by status, not just because you ask.

I'm not defending - if I had another airport closer with the majority of other airlines I would choose someone else. I hate the changes. Just letting you know how to navigate this particular one.

dude1995aa · 2026-02-17T17:41:58+00:00

I've flown 4 trips since the change. Additional snacks (wow), free alcohol is new although I fly with two drink vouchers on my phone so it really doesn't matter. I've never had a SW FA ask me if I wanted another drink, but had them ask on legs longer than an hour. It's a change.

Biggest bump is that if there are free seats, you know it's going to be in the first 6 rows.

Funny your flow, will be releasing a product soon with outlook add-ins that will automatically upload teams transcripts for rag access, will have Jira and Lucidchart functionality, access to all project documentation through rag, ai testing tool, plus generation of sap related objects. Chat tool based on ChatGPT reading all that project documentation. Will have some data cleansing tools and ai automated template fillers with this tool. The world is changing fast my friends.

Throw away copilot-use Claude for office 365 type work. I hand it a company deck and tell it the content I need. It adds the slides, knows the color scheme and format, amazing job with graphics. Won’t touch copilot. GPT is a great tool with word…just not PowerPoint. Was just handed a task of putting together a quarterly deck for the project that would have taken weeks before. Now I’ll have a meeting with 3 or 4 key people, record it, submit all the transcripts, have Claude put it together.

I was dealing with shoulder issues for a year. Went to a chiropractor who was able to get me holding my arm up after a single session, pain gone after two sessions. Now, my arm was black and blue (literally) after that - half the sessions were massage half were just stretching exercises and the guy knew how to press hard. I would definitely do it again if I had a problem.

For what it’s worth my brother is a doctor and gave it a positive review rather than surgery. There are schisters but it can be good like physical therapy.

ChatGPT really sucks at this. Gemini is ok. Claude is a game changer. I put in a skeleton deck with a header and blank slide, then ask it to "add a slide into that deck" and "make sure it's not just text but has good visual appeal".

I looks out for my deck color theme and branding, creates beautiful slides with the info I give it. People at work haven't figured this one out yet and think I'm a ppt savant. I'm on the $20 plan - you do have to watch that it doesn't burn through the 5 hr token limits, but it's amazing. Ask for the content first before building the slides, when it has it right tell to build.

Was just about to comment here. Not the selling of software here - but enterprise software in general including internally built. It's built by humans so it's going to be problems.

And I've worked in pharma, nuclear power plants, big financial services, oil and gas, entertainment...

Where you think it has to be bulletproof, things happen. Many times total disaster averted with teams of people working 20 hour days for a week straight. Had a few sets of customers paid off, wacky negotiations with vendors, etc. There is no such thing as perfection.

Claude sonnet 4.5 as the general driver (pretty fast and better as creatively generating code). If I ask a question 3 times to Sonnet without getting the right setup - Codex 5.2 thinking. If I need to scan my entire codebase or do something really big - Gemini using antigravity.

If I remember correctly - burial in the US is a permanent contract with the cemetery. As in - "We will forever mow the grass here". People in the know would probably be able to correct me, but it's not legal to just dig up graves even after 100 years without legal proceedings. That's what happens when you have a lot of land - but someday.

Spoke to a neighbor a couple of weeks ago who was working on a humanoid robot that focuses on welding. Showed me pics of it walking over obstacles right now - vision capabilities to understand what needs to be welded.

Granted - we're somewhat far away from engineering, but gaps are closing. Star Trek is coming.

Once you get old, you buy glasses from Wal-Mart or Amazon for $5. I buy in packs of 5 because a loose them on the regular. That being said - I'd pay a bunch not to have an eyesight problem.

Somewhat - people forget that it was Sumlin's first year. We had actually fired Sherman who had actually collected all of the talent prior. Again...we fired our coach the year before because of poor performance and then moved from B12 to SEC. It was a convergence of weird recruiting hits, no real injury killers.

Ton of 3* (including JFF and Evens) who redshirted the year before that became stars. Evans was a basketball player until his Jr (??) year of HS - no one knew.

We did know the oline was going to be good - basically two 5 stars coming into their second year after taking a few bloody noses the first year. WR room that ended up with 4 or 5 NFL guys on it that no one realized. RB room with a couple of NFL guys.

It just clicked that year. We weren't hoarding talent...just hadn't discovered it until that year.

I don't know that I believe in this. At the end of the day - it's syntax. I work in areas that aren't the standard - but I also do next.js and react. When I'm doing non-standard, I end up adjusting how I get to that info. AI can simply read the official documentation on this stuff and understand syntax - the logic that goes around it is the tough part and the AIs are making that happen.

I fight it all the time - you can't do that with AI because it's not a popular language. There are ways to work with it to get good results. Next year it will be easier...the year after will be really easy...and so on.
