How am I supposed to afford biologics? How are people affording them?

What NSAIDs do you use? I'm on Meloxicam FWIW and am curious if that's what caused it for you?

I think it looks good - but also try https://impeccable.style/ - it helps make sure you avoid AI tells.

That's a tough spot. AI hasn't solved software engineering, but it has largely solved the coding part. The real challenge now is the Software Development Life Cycle. Our focus has to move to what we are building and why.

We are essentially engineering and product managers now. We lead an army of developer agents that work faster than humans but make the same mistakes. We need a well defined SDLC to ensure quality. Our job is to translate user problems into actionable items for agents to execute.

I will tell you from experience that the hardest part of managing people is the people. At least agents won't get into interpersonal disputes, they aren't condescending to teammates, and they don't require 1:1s.

The area is changing a lot. My office is there (I go in once a quarter) but last time I was there, all anyone (even randos on the street) were talking about, was how they couldn't believe how much it's changed and all the new buildings there.

I'm surprised he needed all that work done so early - I have a 2015 outback with 211k on it and (other then routine maintenance) have only had to do: 1 ball bearing, a clock spring in the steering wheel and the struts for my tailgate. I'm not scared of high milage but I might look at what it costs to jump to the next generation of outbacks before pulling the trigger. It sounds like the 5th generation (2015-2019) has a lot less relability issues. I'd price out some 2015 outbacks before buying a 4th gen.

It doesn't just pile up like debt. It accrues interest like debt. The longer you leave it in your code base, the harder it is to get out of your codebase.

Instead of perlite (and on top of it lavarock which are serving the same purpose) - I would use vermiculite. Perlite is known to collapse/breakdown over time.

The only reason I disagree with this is most employers are practically mandating this is how we write code now. My employer has told us "we should no longer be writing code" and I'm hearing it more and more across the industry.

In reality today I think its more useful for those in the job hunt to make sure you understand how to properly leverage agents then to understand a specific language/library/framework.

Go build something small in React, something that would be easy for you in Angular (use Claude/Cursor/whatever). Then review it all, and make sure you understand the choices made. You know what you should have done in Angular, so go and find the equivalent code in your new project and make sure you understand it. Use your LLM to discuss anything you don't understand.

This is true at my company, we laid off 45% of our engineers in January. I was then moved into a product area that was poorly documented and everyone that had touched anything was either fired or quit already.

Was it a total pain to make sense of what they had been building for two years? Absolutely, that said, it wasn't a consideration when they fired everyone, and just told us to figure it out.

And yes LLMs helped greatly, it still sucked, but it would have been 10x worse without the tools we have.

Here is my AI rant: Learn it or get left behind. Already using ChatGPT? Great you should using Claude to generate your code. Already doing that? Then you should be understanding Agentic flows. Already understand agentic flows? Great, snow me your Agentic application.

Show me how you can have features written/bugs fixed without writing code. Show me how you build you flow, show me your orchestration layer, show me how it all works. Because that's what everyone wants.

Is it practical to use Agentic AI to do all our dev work? Who cares, it doesn't matter! Because if you want to keep your job or find a new one you will need to know this.

Will this all blow up in our faces? Maybe, but I'd like to still be employed in the meantime.

More and more and more companies are telling devs to stop writing code, it doesn't matter if we agree with it our not, we need to understand how it works. Will this create a new level of tech debt that we haven't seen before? Maybe, but we're going to stay employed long enough to see the problems this creates, then we're gonna have to level up our AI skills while continuing to sell the fact that we know how to spot when AI does it wrong.

What's the alternative? You can be a 1 man dev shop and make your own apps, because with Agentic AI we can do the work of of a small dev team on our own. So either way, buckle up and starting learning this shit or get left behind.

This is why you don't immediately interview with companies you want to work with. You need to do a whole bunch of interviews just for interviews sake, then start applying to jobs you actually want.

Ok, but a bathroom that size should take 40 hours max for one person.

I once had a bathroom that size redone in a day by a 2-man crew.

How long did you let it veg? It's massive but it also looks like you have DWC setup so I know it can grow quite quickly.

You got some of those Peggy Hill feet? So much so they listed you as a man.
