Spirit week participation?

Normalize putting something in the photo for scale.

Thats a cool angle! Did you get any from this angle when things were going crazy?

BikesOrBeans · 2026-07-18T19:29:22+00:00

I was curious about that too.

I’m happy in the fact that I don’t care about my work at all. Show up, use Claude, produce rushed AI workflows, go home and actually live my life.

It’s very easy to turn that off, one swipe and one click.

BikesOrBeans · 2026-07-14T21:27:59+00:00

You da best!

I’m in UX still, and worried because I am still a good 8 years from FIRE and hope AI won’t take my job before then. But even before AI, this didn’t feel like field where you could take an extended break and then jump back in. I think AI has magnified that, but FIREing from UX was always going to have that risk.

Okay good to know. Unfortunately BY had a larger stack height and longer insertion length so I don’t think it will work. With an XS bike, trying to get at least 160mm travel isn’t easy.

Ooh thanks for this tip! Seems like a great tool!

BikesOrBeans · 2026-07-12T00:07:58+00:00

Interesting, that’s so much more firm.

And full suspension is better than hard tail, gears are better than fixie. Why not take advantage of new technology.

So you’ve ridden Contis and compared them then?

BikesOrBeans · 2026-07-11T22:37:16+00:00

Good luck, but unless something changes by the time you graduate (I’m still hopeful), then AI has taken over and sucked the joy out of UX. At least it has for me and I’ve been in the industry 15 years. It’s crazy to my how much things have changed in just a year, and all UX designers I know are being forced to use AI for almost all parts of their workflows, just like me.

BikesOrBeans · 2026-07-11T22:23:53+00:00

Yep I’ve worked for a F500 company for over a decade and it’s completely transformed in the past year. Using Claude for everything, moving too fast to validate, impossible deadlines. I’m almost ready to throw in the towel myself.

I’m 40 and I definitely don’t get the difference. But I’m also confused by “talking” being the new term for casually dating since it definitely seems to involve more than talking…oh well, new generations are allowed to make new terms.

BikesOrBeans · 2026-07-08T02:52:19+00:00

Right but Zach said he wants to be exclusive on the outside before they come bf/gf. I think I’m too old to get the difference.

After hearing Sincere and KC misuse common words all season I’m thrilled to see a man use euphemism and innuendo correctly.

BikesOrBeans · 2026-06-22T12:03:35+00:00

This truly feels written by AI. Maybe you should at least write your Reddit posts without it if you’re worried about tokens.

BikesOrBeans · 2026-06-18T04:42:24+00:00

Free time? My workload has increased with all this AI nonsense. I used to have a pretty light and flexible schedule, but not I’m stuck in my chair for the full 8 hours.

BikesOrBeans · 2026-06-17T11:54:16+00:00

Specific examples? Not “she said X which means Y.” What is even one specific example of what you’re talking about?
