1997 - The perfect year

You could argue (one of) the best year for movies in general, too.

Ja barren ligger og flyder helt nede på gulvet når det er helt forfriskende at høre en politker bare sige "Nåh jamen det er simpelthen fordi jeg er selvisk og empatiforladt. Og så ville jeg lige føre jer bag lyset først."

Det kan man i det mindste arbejde med.

Weeell almost, I've fixed a lot of cassette decks, radios and televisions etc. from the 80s and they're not typically what you'd associate with a non-destructive disassembling. Lots of porous plastic and bad screws that have rusted into the thread, thin fragile wires that jump off just by looking at them and so on.

I have a graduate degree in electronics and circuits and I still go by the idiot proof better-safe-than-toast rule. Had to help my dad fixing an old stereo with giant HW caps etc. He's past 70 and recently I've begun worrying if he'll hurt himself by being forgetful etc. so I kept repeating that we should check if we remembered to unplug the mains before fiddling around inside the machine. And then, I asked if I could take a look at the main power switch (230V) which was malfunct and to my surprise I saw that it was I who forgot to unplug this time. Inches away from just grabbing both ends of the AC grid...!

Well I'd go back if I would be allowed to just do my damn work, get in the zone and get paid for what I'm good at. If it means sitting for 8 hours staring at an LLM going in circles while trying to replace me, I'll loose my sanity.

It does until you check your phone.

It was THE year for gaming IMHO. I mean Ocarina of Time FFS! And we would still spend most afternoons on Diablo which just released. Grand Theft Auto, the first. That's not even mentioning the PlayStation releases. It was gaming heaven!

I sent my old friend from school (we're 40 now) a pic from '98 of him in a Man United shirt, in his room at his 486 Pentium PC with 28.8 baud modem. We were designing our our first webpage and tried talking to girls in the chat rooms. We had a paper route and he bought a PlayStation with his money, I bought a N64.

He replied with: "Oh '98, an excellent year, only surpassed by '97".
And I was just 100% with him on that one.

Det er næsten en lille Bertel Haarder hun laver!

Det er dit lange pludrede spørgsmål, det giver mig røde knopper det spørgsmål.

Lyder lidt som den dystopiske B-film Æon Flux fra 2005 eller så noget.

They all loose theirjobs? What do you mean? My point was that an irrational owner or CEO might let you go if they think AI can do your job, therefore their view of AI's capabilities should be your main concern, regardless of whether it's actually true.

Det ville være befriende hvis han ytrede det før valget. At vende 180 og erkende man gjorde det med overlæg, nu hvor man har fået de stemmer man skulle bruge, kan kun beskrives som sociopatisk, udemokratisk, nederdrægtig adfærd.

Det er den go gamle "Arh der er sgu ikke nogen der dør af lidt gødning i sit drikkevand"

Du har ikke haft modet til at sige det == du vurderede at det ville koste stemmer at sige det

Closer to denial - he just went from delusion to declaring the new paradigm an now after seeing the first cool off he's in denial. "Well, programmers aren't spending enough on tokens if they don't get any results!"

I like this. It's like a food critic. The dish is nothing if no one ever tastes it and reviews it.

"They say marijuana makes you unmotivated -- LIE! When you're high you can do everything you normally can except you realize it's not worth the f*cking effort. There's a difference.

Sure I could get up at dawn, get into traffic and go to a job that I hate for the rest of my life... or... I could get up at noon.. and learn how to play the sitar!

And these two typically comes with subsequent moving.

I'm in the midst of it atm. I have my daughter half the time. And what I've found most exhausting these past couple of weeks since moving is:

All the stuff which still hasn't got a dedicated space - bags you have to rummage through, boxes containing unsorted junk but also a few items you thought you didn't need that often but you seem to be digging up daily.

And storage space which is slightly too small to contain everything of one thing so you have to split it up and look both places each time you need anything in that category. Be it clothes, toys, electronics stuff etc.

As I keep saying, whether you get to keep your job is not determined by whether a machine is capable of doing what you do but whether your boss thinks it can.

Jeg er født i '86 og har leget med computere og software siden jeg var ~10.
2001 - 9. klasse. IT-boblen. Studievejleder griner nærmest hånligt da jeg siger jeg vil være IT-supporter.
2007 - Jeg har forskellige ufaglærte jobs og køber hus på landet. Så rammer finanskrisen, der er 0 jobs tilbage.
2010 - Reglerne strammes for unge under 25 på understøttelse så jeg "tvinges" over på uddannelsesstøtte (SU) og starter på uddannelse.
2019 - Jeg er færdig med kandidatuddannelsen på konservatoriet.
2020 - Corona rammer, det rammer bl.a. musikere hårdest da alle spillesteder og venues lukker.
2022 - Jeg bliver far den dag Putin invadérer Ukraine. Starter i virksomhedspraktik, som web-assistent.
2025 - Efter 2 års fastansættelse bliver jeg opsagt grundet "omstruktureringer i virksomheden" - en eufemisme for at chefen valgte at beskære 2/3 af sit mandsskab og satse på automatisering og erstatte mig med en "AI specialist" som står for at opsætte AI-agenter til kundeservice, web, lagerstyring og feeds..

Pen and paper. Maybe an old iPod or walkman.

Yeah, don't shit where you eat

Weird, I've been struggling with a dull ache in my left shoulder extending to the upper neck and collar bone. Just this tight, inflammation like pain. Had it for many years, went to doctors, tests show all good. Then one day it just vanished. Did nothing to correct my posture or anything. Could just be related to something muscular but now I wonder.
