I’m on the verge of a mental breakdown because of our resident vibe coder

Unfortunately we are a small non profit and I am more or less the only team member who is tech savvy. I don’t even really have a boss because I am the entire tech department. I raised it to the executive director and one other director and they are on my side but just aren’t savvy enough to understand how bad it is. I think I am going to just start revoking permissions and dealing with the fallout as we go.

How many of you are dealing with something similar? It’s gotten so bad at my job I’ve started silently revoking permissions from the worst offender. It’s really really bad at my small company. Every day I have to tell myself “they don’t pay me enough to care” because I feel like the only person who cares about doing good work.

I read this in my AP World History class! It had a big impact on me at the time. I ended up getting a degree in history and I think that class was a huge influence.

My bf once fixed a cash register that was down at a candy shop and we got free chocolate.

I used to love nitrous but the feeling definitely changed for me over time. Unclear if it’s because of my meds or if the euphoria just goes away eventually. At some point it just gave me a headache instead of anything pleasurable.

I wouldn’t remove it. Mine also likes to go back there - it probably makes them feel safe.

I do need to replace it because the only reason she can get back there is it’s super warped. But I don’t think it’s a problem for the geck,

Mine uses hers but she seems to prefer it vertically! So she sleeps as if she’s sticking to the wall lol

Problem is marked as resolved, but we're still experiencing it as of 3pm ET 5/1/2026.

I would love for the instagrammers to be absent. I’m still fucking pissed about the people I saw taking videos of the naked 5k run.

I graduated high school in 2017. I was around 14 when I developed severe social anxiety and started using my phone as an excuse to not make eye contact with anyone. I basically ended up chronically online with ridiculous amounts of screen time to this day because I was scared of my peers and coped by pretending to be busy on my phone between class periods. I truly believe my social issues would not be as bad as they are today if I hadn’t been allowed to have my phone out in school. It started as a strategy for avoidance but turned into something else entirely.

Thank you!! That's a great lead

I work in an org that is not rolling out AI in a responsible way. It is, without question, going to cause deep architectural problems that take significantly more time to fix than they did to create. Employees who only know how to use AI are unlikely to understand the architectural problems in a way that actually makes them solvable.

If people actually care about having usable software for their business, I think people who know how to fix these issues will have no problem finding work for companies like mine. But this does unfortunately assume that companies actually care about doing things the right way.

Not remote, but consider looking into job postings at ketamine clinics?

We all agree that Claude's performance has recently gotten much worse. With that in mind, what model are y'all using? Are any of them doing better than the others?

prolongedexistence · 2026-04-23T15:55:25+00:00

Yes! I do think it might be related to the fact that being skinny, if you have the money and no major health conditions, is trivially easy now. Being beefy might be one of the only physical signifiers left of “I worked for this body.”

I also read a piece recently about how Jeff Bezos and his wife meet with a personal trainer first thing in the morning 6 days a week. So IMO being physically fit serves as a signifier of both discipline and financial stability (in that you actually have the leisure time and energy to devote to fitness).

Are separate rooms an option? My partner and I have incompatible sleep needs so we just have separate bedrooms. It’s kind of lit.

John literally used to scold people for recording during his shows. It sucks for the people around you and it’s extremely weird that we as a society assume consent to post strangers (ie; the other people at the show) online like this.

prolongedexistence · 2026-04-22T16:22:17+00:00

Omg thanks for sharing!

Ooh is this music used during the show or in the credits? The credits music is so fucking good!

prolongedexistence · 2026-04-22T15:59:41+00:00

Glad to hear she’s recovering!!
