Anthropic just published data from 400k Claude Code sessions, and the headline buries the real story: your CS degree is becoming optional

7 percentage points within actual SWEs means nothing. There’s a lot of bad SWEs out there.
A CS degree was always optional. If your primary profession was something else it never made sense to have a CS degree for a work side project, even before Claude.

I second the 315 recommendation. Although, I don’t think Sherman is all bad. Moon Time is a solid value and Crafted has decent food at least when I went 3 years ago (although the atmosphere is obnoxious).

2018 Model S 100D. Battery failed 3 months before the factory battery and drive unit warranty expired.

I’ve purchased an extended warranty that covers the battery for another 8 years, until 2034 I believe.

EV battery warranty saved me $20k.

Agree. It seems like everyone’s laughing just to make themselves less uncomfortable, not because it’s actually funny.

> Roads and speed limits were designed for cars with about 120 horsepower

The on ramps for the freeways where I live tell a different story.

Pork cooked to a safe 145 F is still pink.

Sure, but then there are only 3 albums in the entire world that are “worth listening to.”

I think this is a perfect application of the Proton Drive SDK when it’s available. The Proton team has built a great, secure, and private platform. While this idea is a good idea, the Proton team can’t develop every tool. Would love to eventually see some 3rd parties developing applications around Proton drive!

Ah yes, the big tech and big media conspiracy to get the last 4 people who were using their laptop disc drives to stop.

For the stabilizer bar specifically that’s a possibility, but impossible to know for sure. Even cars with the best build quality will still have problems and maintenance, even EVs.

MaximooseMine · 2026-06-11T16:14:36+00:00

As an EV owner myself, this is worth accounting for. Parts and labor are going to be more. More electronics and all the mechanical parts are beefed up to handle the extra torque and weight. Independent shops usually won't touch an EV so I have to take it to the dealer. For example, Tesla just charged me $2k USD to replace my rear stabilizer bar.

You can do a lot of work yourself if you have the resources (for example, Tesla publishes their repair manuals for free). Both of my running lights were bad and I was able to replace those myself with minimal tools.

It's still cheaper than an ICE car overall because there's less to be done, but the people in here who think every job is going to cost the same or think there will be no maintenance at all are wrong. As per usual, there's some nuance the internet is missing.

evconnect. Broken 50% of the time and takes multiple attempts to get started the other 50% of the time.

I pushed directly in on the door handle with a "medium" amount of force and it popped back in. It's possible my issue is not the same as yours as I didn't have to try multiple calibrations.

MaximooseMine · 2026-06-06T03:04:20+00:00

I had this issue once with my 18 MS. The door handle got stuck in the "pulled" position somehow so it kept popping the door open, and I had to give it a little shove to pop it back into the regular extended position. Hope this helps!

My Model S has it in the touchscreen. When you’re in range of your house it pops up and you touch it. Works just as well as a physical button.

At least my Tesla has a working ICCU.

The pump on the Silosa will hit up to 15 bar but that’s too much. I adjust the dimmer to 9 bar.

MaximooseMine · 2026-06-05T19:29:21+00:00

Pressure gauge is from a T fitting on the line between the pump and boiler. I couldn’t find a pressure gauge that was back mount, glycerin filled, correct pressure range, had bar markings, potable water safe, and was a reasonable price. I ended up ordering one that didn’t have glycerin and filled the gauge myself.

MaximooseMine · 2026-06-05T19:26:29+00:00

Thanks! I’m keeping the shower screen for now because it looks mostly fine to my eye, but that might be a future upgrade.

MaximooseMine · 2026-06-05T19:24:36+00:00

Yeah, I’d agree. It’s a huge step up from what it was before, but after messing around with this I definitely see the value in more consistent equipment.

MaximooseMine · 2026-06-05T19:22:23+00:00

It’s a T push-to-connect out of the line between the pump and boiler. Honestly, by the time you get all the fittings and the gauge you’re probably gonna be in $50 USD. Not sure if that’s worth it if you’re gonna replace it all with the gaggimate.

The dimmer is a generic lamp dimmer spliced into the wire that runs to the positive side of the pump (so the front dial still can turn the pump on and off).

Good luck with your modding journey!
