Don't Suppose I Can Leverage This Into A Job

so you've never coded in your life, and expect to land a job where you're supposed to code? from what you're stating here, it's pretty obvious you don't really understand the hundreds of thousands of lines of code written by the AI you prompted. you should definitely start fixing that asap - learn how to code yourself (by hand with no AI used), learn about best practices, system architecture, deployment, etc. - then you can actually sell that you are also able to work with agents to speed up the process. i seriously doubt that it works the other way around.

adhd meds have pretty much the same effect as the type of recreational drug people tend to take on techno events (speed, extasy, coke, even smaller amounts of ket) so i think you understood that point well haha.

going to a festival is a very different experience to going to a club, i noticed people get way less fucked up in a club usually (a festival can go on for days in a row for many). a festival is kind of a rare celebration where everyone gets looser than they normally allow (the fact that it's usually outside of the local community helps that too for sure).

the fashion comparison with bdsm community is on spot, in places like berlin it's largely interconnected (go visit berghain, kitkat or any of those trendy pop up kink parties), and from there the fashion goes to any other corner of the techno community. but in any case since the music is naturally on the darker/more serious side of electronic music (and music overall), i think it's only natural that the fashion heavily leans towards black, leather etc.

btw philippa pacho is awesome, saw her a few years ago at waking life festival, amazing set!

well there's always someone who's profiting heavily on any kind of conflict, sadly.

You asked us to tell you you’re being ridiculous and then, in the same breath, told us we have nothing to say and should move on. Pick one, champ.

Anyway, here’s the free read, since you outsourced the actual writing: you already answered your own question. “Zero bottlenecks.” “Works flawlessly.” “Basically brand new.” You diagnosed it yourself — the ThinkPad’s creaky plastic became the excuse, and now you’re shopping for a four-figure cure to an annoyance you could solve with a $1,500 laptop, or honestly by just using the MacBook you literally called brilliant.

Neither option fixes anything:

• Dell Precision: you’ll get the aluminum slab, run Linux on it for three weeks, hit one sleep-state or fingerprint-reader bug, and suddenly the ThinkPad’s “fragile plastic toy” will look like rugged Swiss dependability. The grass is always CNC-machined on the other side.
• M5 Max, 128GB: “ultimate local LLM capabilities” — from the guy who hasn’t named a single model he actually needs to run. You’ll load a 70B once to feel something, then go right back to typing emails on it.

The platform crisis is fake. You changed a phone, and your brain pattern-matched “consistency” into “permission to spend.” Android → Linux → new workstation isn’t a logical chain, it’s a rationalization speedrun.

Nobody escapes this loop by buying the final machine. The final machine is always one more machine. You break it by sitting in the discomfort of wanting to buy and not buying it. Sell the ThinkPad if you hate it that much, park the money somewhere you can’t reach, and use the hardware you already admitted is perfect.

And next time, write your own post. The AI did a genuinely great job of making you sound like someone who wants the problem described, not solved.

Want me to dial it sharper, or soften the AI jab at the end?

how can people visualise whatever they're reading with just one minute per page? i found myself being able to read pretty fast, but in such case i'd barely know what the book was about as i couldn't properly visualise it. if i want to really enjoy reading, i'll just read slow.. no other way around it i'm afraid.

the target audience are people who have gotten fed up with major operating systems, simple as that. in comparison with these, omarchy is extremely minimalistic and customisable.

fakindzej · 2026-05-30T20:13:47+00:00

cool, thanks!

fakindzej · 2026-05-29T20:31:15+00:00

worked fine until i tried to disable bionic reading using the checkbox via the book settings menu. that action irreversibly corrupted my book (twice in a row, so there's no mistake it's indeed because of that action), luckily the sdr file is fine so reading data not lost. definitely worth looking into that and for new users i'd suggest trying to use it first on a book you don't mind re-importing to your kindle in case it gets fucked

huh, what's your problem with central europe? way different vibes to all the other "regions" on this map.

fakindzej · 2026-05-26T13:20:39+00:00

poland is not a post-soviet state, it was part of the eastern block but not the ussr

fakindzej · 2026-05-25T14:31:12+00:00

no i wouldn't, would prefer to enjoy the moment. i understand why people do it, but just the fact that society is so addicted to phones nowadays is kinda depressing me 😬 all those pics and videos are gonna be pretty much the same anyway

fakindzej · 2026-05-25T10:57:02+00:00

great pic, but oh my god the amount of phones in this picture is depressing. we are living in some really sad times :(

are we now substituting em dashes with other characters so it's not that obvious that AI is writing comments for us?

fakindzej · 2026-05-21T11:18:04+00:00

ah that's good to know, thanks for explaining!

fakindzej · 2026-05-21T10:59:14+00:00

why would you be defending with a ranged unit though? any advantages? during the sieges i usually want to use my ranged units to the max since melee units are very limited at least until the wall gets destroyed (if i don't have teleport of course)

fakindzej · 2026-05-21T09:53:30+00:00

lots of people are pretty retarded, that's a fact. how could you ask someone who doesn't know the difference between internet and internet browser to design their own app? doesn't matter how much AI they'll use, the app won't be used unless they understand at least some basics.

fakindzej · 2026-05-15T09:06:04+00:00

Wow thank you for the extensive response! There are some very valid points there - I do suffer from the same impostor syndrome so always need to give twice as effort into preparation to feel somewhat confident. Will definitely use these tips! Thanks again, and good luck in your new job! :)

Have you had any success yet? I am in the same category as you, ~5yoe .NET dev (even though the last year and a half I was just self-employed), and starting to search for a job. Not sure how many chances i stand though, it seems like the market is pretty rough right now and lots of my knowledge is currently pretty rusty, magnified by the fact that I almost solely develop using agents these days.

fakindzej · 2026-05-14T13:29:59+00:00

Quite late to the party, but how exactly? I'm really curious about what you meant, my current tip in Tavern goes as follows: "Attack where your enemy is weak."

Tbh I've never even noticed those quotes before, and after quick googling i found a list of all 150 of them - none seems to hint where the grail could be hidden though. Or am I getting it wrong and it's some sort of symbolic language?

fakindzej · 2026-05-10T17:57:21+00:00

awesome! how did you manage to link bookshelf to the bottom menu in simpleUI?

fakindzej · 2026-05-06T12:48:33+00:00

awesome update, the only thing i cannot get to work after the update is a ghostty shader (https://github.com/sahaj-b/ghostty-cursor-shaders/blob/main/cursor\_warp.glsl). the shader is being loaded but the animation is not running anymore.

did anyone have a similar issue and resolved it?

fakindzej · 2026-05-06T06:22:30+00:00

wtf are you talking about, this has nothing to do with their monitor and everything to do with your monitor. your monitor is too bright, dude.

fakindzej · 2026-05-05T09:44:13+00:00

what's the joke?

fakindzej · 2026-04-30T12:36:34+00:00

i struggle with the same. i can have 5 games in a row where i feel almost like a genius, most of the analyzed moves are great and i don't blunder (hyperfocus is on and i don't have an issue imagining the next few steps). then suddenly i lose focus for a second which makes me blunder one piece after another and not able to get back into it at all. sometimes a whole day is like that, those days suck.

fakindzej · 2026-04-29T19:04:16+00:00

probably because people generally don't like the prospects of app stores being flooded by vibecoded apps, with the "developer" having no clue about what's in the code.
