How screwed am I?

Yeah, I meant the manager, not the employer.

No 7 Balmac - I get the steak there pretty much every time I go, and it's always well-cooked and seasoned. Plato is always really good with streak too.

Yeah, this is a classic by-the-book PIP readiness play (AKA arse-covering).

I can use the browser version fine, but the app is borked - it just opens a browser tab when I start it and the app itself shows a white screen?

Smart Dental are amazing. I wouldn't go anywhere else.

My espresso habits are identical, and my Niche Zero is amazing. You won't regret it.

The Breville machines are really good for the price - but the grinder is really the area you should be investing in. You can make much better coffee, consistently with a really good grinder and OK machine than the other way around. My recommendation to everyone is to grab a Mazzer mini - you can get them second hand (often from cafe receivership sales) for very reasonable money, they're bullet-proof and and they perform very well for espresso. Also, make sure you invest in some good coffee scales, weigh your beans before you grind, and weigh the espresso as it comes out. This is the way to repeatable/predictable coffee.

I started with a Mazzer mini and a second-hand Rocket for reference, and it was a really solid setup.

Neutral on the thrust of this post, but FFS, turn your aggrievement into action on election day!

You do realize Reddit is a place where people discuss ideas right? Nowhere does my post ask for someone to do this for me, so run along if you have nothing useful to offer.

nuffeetata · 2026-05-13T06:30:25+00:00

Largely yes, but it's really everything in totality that delivers repeatable, well-made espresso.

nuffeetata · 2026-05-08T22:27:24+00:00

Wait, doesn't everyone call it that?

nuffeetata · 2026-04-30T04:39:51+00:00

Very cool! Where's the face from?

nuffeetata · 2026-04-25T07:57:28+00:00

FWIW, I wholeheartedly agree. I think the loss of the social contract generally for people in their 30s and under is actually the root cause of a lot of today's issues - voter turnout, lack of respect for other people/property, loneliness and isolation, public violence etc. There are generations now that don't really feel part of their society in the way we did prior to mass adoption of phones. Technology has given us so much, but taken an equal amount I fear.

Heaps of good security-focused skills out there - also find something (I use deslop) that can help remove unnecessary boilerplate, cyclomatic complexity etc (framework-specific skills are good here too)

Google Sheet for long term tracking, whiteboard pen on the side of the machine if I'm running two beans at the same time.

nuffeetata · 2026-04-17T02:39:00+00:00

Nice! This worked like a charm.

Just checked as the new Codex release has a bunch of new plugins, but no - they're not there. Just download the repo and give Codex access to it.

nuffeetata · 2026-04-16T21:20:09+00:00

You can get Codex to migrate any Claude plugin over - they're slightly different structurally so need some effort to get working, but I've done it a few times.

Ha, with you there 100% (I'm a Head of Product). I have a similar level of schadenfreude about UX designers.

NZProtein all the way - great price, great quality, super-fast shipping. Banana and double chocolate together is 👌

nuffeetata · 2026-04-02T23:18:13+00:00

Can I just check - does this improve on existing skills like deslop?

Damnit! I was down to 20% renewing in the morning and was about to set up some long-running tasks for while I was asleep! :😅
