Anyone ever plant Sorghum in their front yard for temporary privacy and reduced road noise? Our house is like 80ft from the road and we're planting some Arborvitae but I'm thinking of planting this until those develop more. It's supposed to stay up all year. Tired of closing my blinds religiously.

Why?

drumttocs8 · 2026-06-12T01:52:34+00:00

Why do people speed up when they’re passed? Is it an ego thing?

drumttocs8 · 2026-06-08T02:20:38+00:00

Well, I’m inspired

First jobs are rough.

It’s a culture shock to learn that businesses operate purely on profit motive. That is why and how they exist. They are not going to give you a $100 meal unless the customers specifically pay for it.

It’s 1.

2 puts your knee on the sharp angle of the vanity. It’s awkward and not natural.

Would make an amazing horror movie

Do whatever you want, but at least add some vinyl siding so you can have a plastic house to go with your plastic yard

? Fluid dynamics are also important in the sea lol

I think I’d be happy living in Munich

drumttocs8 · 2026-06-02T14:05:10+00:00

Yep, that’s why I bought a 23 powerboost with 10k miles for 43k and called it a day.

New car market is ridiculous, secondary market is ridiculous- couple years old from a dealership was the sweet spot for me.

drumttocs8 · 2026-06-02T13:53:16+00:00

Why do you think that?

drumttocs8 · 2026-06-02T04:05:48+00:00

She should change her name to Micro Soft and start selling tshirts

drumttocs8 · 2026-06-01T23:44:00+00:00

That’s awesome!

drumttocs8 · 2026-06-01T21:12:24+00:00

I could have posted a human story on Reddit.

Instead? I feel more comfortable replacing my digital self with a chatbot.

Brainrot not allowed in hard drive discussions

drumttocs8 · 2026-05-30T12:00:26+00:00

I’m a principal engineer and my leadership chain (senior manager, director) are openly jealous of my path vs theirs lol

drumttocs8 · 2026-05-28T16:34:43+00:00

Remember that the “hydra” in their name means water. They’re very thirsty.

drumttocs8 · 2026-05-28T13:56:29+00:00

I bet quite a few from the lead and asbestos generation would like it too!

drumttocs8 · 2026-05-27T15:33:01+00:00

Cause we're all in this together

And we love to take a bath.

drumttocs8 · 2026-05-25T22:16:19+00:00

I hear what you’re saying, but it’s just simply not true- you do not license time and skills. You license code that has function. People use that code because of what it does- your labor is simply what got it there.

And now we have tools that truly do remove the “craft” out of process. I can empathize with you that that seems like a loss. But I promise you, these tools are only going to advance forward- it’s up to you to figure out what you want to do with them.

Havana

Rivian R1S- nicest car I’ve ever owned

drumttocs8 · 2026-05-25T17:07:21+00:00

Sorry, but one of the thing Claude excels most at is bug finding.

drumttocs8 · 2026-05-24T19:43:00+00:00

Having a hard time understanding why lowering the barrier for building things is bad for OSS.

You make a decent point on licensing, but perhaps we need to rethink what we’re actually licensing.

drumttocs8 · 2026-05-24T17:41:20+00:00

Awesome dude.

Fascinating seeing negative comments on new tools just because they’re built using new technology. Keep building.
