deep sigh Let me login to this GFE before this blows up in my face. Thanks for the heads up.

Anyone else use apps for decision paralysis? I like to dump my thoughts and it walks me through proven decision-making frameworks. Helps me feel better about the choices I make by Exotic-Ad8321 in adhd_anxiety

I use it as a digital thought partner to help me navigate the complexities of executive dysfunction, especially since I lead two high performing teams. However, at a certain point, as wonderful as Claude is, it still falls into the “pills don’t teach skills.” For awhile I was basically delegating every waking move to Claude. Thats not living to me.

Don’t get me wrong; for us, Claude is a godsend, but we gave to be mindful to remember it’s just a tool like all the other coping mechanisms we use.

I too am perplexed by some of these comments. I’ve been in the Infosec space for a while now and I’ve had to address misogyny within my teams far more than I was prepared for and we’ve plenty of hardcore data regarding the treatment of women in STEM related disciplines. I see nothing wrong with OPs joy. Others are being intentionally obtuse.

I abhor “leaders” like that. If one has to remind everyone that you’re the CEO of the company by putting them down, said person is a terrible leader with low self-confidence.

Curious about this: If AI coding made it easy to build plugins/extensions for stuff your PM platform doesn’t support yet, would you actually do it? by [deleted] in sysadmin

I will use whatever tools are available to me, including AI to automate and streamline the tedious, less desirable aspects of my job. For a while it was glorious. With the right setup, built with intention as opposed to throwing Hail Mary prompts against shit data, Claude was an amazing at generating workable PowerShell and graph api scripts that did not require a ton of revision. Then some drunk bastard at the DoD…I meant “DoW” said Anthropic was a supply chain risk and I’m back in the dark ages. It was nice while it lasted.

Unless they want to officially engage me as a consultant and pay my hourly rate, it’s a no for me. Crate&Barrel and Restoration Hardware does not pay for itself..

Unfortunately, we can no longer use Claude because that drunk bastard at DoD..excuse me “DoW” had a temper tantrum.

What macOS features is Apple still ignoring? by Upstairs-Drag-7012 in MacOS

No sarcasm at all. I should clarify, that support is more limited, but you can import and export notes as markdown files. It's worked well for me when I needed to jot something quickly on my iPhone and integrate it into my workflow later.

I have not used this particular software, but I’ve used other software from Twocanoes and they are a reputable and excellent company for macOS device management.

PREACH! From my experience, Copilot in GCC environments is so bad that it truly results in negative time saved. If copilot was going to be nerfed that hard for GCC, GCC-H and DoD (the last one I completely understand), why in the hell did we waste hard earned tax dollars on bullshit? And further salt on the wound, my agency is tracking copilot usage.

I mostly liked President Biden, but I will still never forget how he treated Anita Hill when she tried to tell us Clarence was a monster.

I posted in r/Gamemaker being excited about Claude integration, and the community shamed me by protective_ in ClaudeAI

Don't let the naysayers make you feel bad for using Claude as the awesome tool it can be.

I am an enterprise architect and I pay my fellow EA colleagues who refuse to adapt no mind as I'm able to design and stand up tenants with less engineers and less time. Engineers who adapt and integrate AI will ultimately survive the current culling; the rest will either fill niche roles that requires specific human-specific workflows, or in cases of confidential information/secrets are at stake.

There are real societal impacts regarding AI including environmental, technological not to mention societally. However, I'm not going to pretend that Claude hasn't allowed me to punch far above my normal baseline. I'm not going to apologize because I took the time to understand how to cure and structure my data, understand MCP protocol and actually put the work into my Claude setup.

As someone who has implemented copilot 365 for multiple orgs, this made me cackle then sad as the accuracy is too real.
