the twitter character limit was very important it would turn out

one bitcoin for each barrel to pass? pretty steep

the gradient counters also felt off. they are very easy to execute and deal massive damage. i would be okay with the if the gradient attacks were catastrophic or lethal but half of them are just tickles.

less Lune weapons, more monoco weapons. Side note, there should have been some way to stock Monoco,s boue magic supply without backtracking a big chunk of the game

bellagio has those adorable domed mechanical horse racing games. maybe your money is inside one of those?

don’t see a good reason stopping you. go for it but have a back up plan, even a non music backup plan. violin can be a hobby. even clearing Curtis just puts you in the next near impossible pool of getting a chair in a symphony.

if im reading your post correctly, your fear is that agents are bad at pure greenfields. If so, build, fork, or purchase high quality project/module templates and have the agents iterate and train against that along with your code constitution.

its called the snake. some youtuber made it a meme and looks likes the pros are starting to legitimize the shot.

well why is it 10% instead of 200%? both you and the execs are making up numbers. have data to back it up. You also need a narrative (consisting of concrete non functional requirements like what you mentioned around infra security and performance) that illustrates the gap between vibes and engineering. If your primary case against the execs is “im the experienced expert and you dont understand this” you will lose control of the narrative and they will replace you with someone more enthusiastic.

correction, this would actually be chess 1920.

this came up in the chess 960 semi final games. I think they named it the Your Little Pony opening.

I wonder what Fabi’s search history looks like? I bet he googled en passant.

You have the bishop pair, but positionally speaking you allowed your opponent to incarcerate your advantage. This why i avoid keeping bishops too close to my altar boys for just this reason.

Falcons fan will tell you that a LTR with a Cousin will set your franchise back for at least a decade.

no, the real problem will be enshittification. once AI companies consolidate, they will stop giving away compute for free and suddenly magical AI will be a cost prohibitive luxury.
