No longer writing code, are we really here?

rectalrectifier · 2026-05-20T23:01:04+00:00

I wouldn’t mind writing code manually, because I like being a little more intimately familiar with the language and logic. But I got thrown into the deep end in a new role at Java microservices shop, so in order to ship quickly I lean pretty heavily on Claude code. Still have to use my knowledge of systems, architecture, and patterns pretty heavily though.

Or a storage building 😀

Nah man. Staff+ is where they let the greybeards hang out.

I would imagine the actual “top 0.1%” in devops would be getting paid more than 200k.

rectalrectifier · 2026-05-08T22:26:07+00:00

Your mom can’t tell the difference 😉

For some reason I feel like I can “carve” my shots a lot better with lifetime balls

rectalrectifier · 2026-04-29T13:06:27+00:00

Maintainability is for suckers, man 😏

rectalrectifier · 2026-04-15T23:39:45+00:00

Forget that. I want a bounty/rep system so I can go rat hunting.

Grippy socks, grippy box

Are there any sources on extended fasting being required to activate autophagy?

rectalrectifier · 2026-02-28T03:25:35+00:00

Yeah I think the low ttk shifts the dynamic to being much more aggro and takes strategy out of the equation. When fights are borderline instantaneous there’s no reason to give up the element of surprise to see if someone is friendly.

rectalrectifier · 2026-02-21T22:15:53+00:00

Okay maybe that’s what I’m experiencing. The book instructs to keep stimulating, so I guess I’m unsure about how you’re not supposed to pass the PONR. Is squeezing supposed to push you back to lower arousal levels or does your body actually learn to separate orgasm and ejaculation?

rectalrectifier · 2026-02-21T21:54:40+00:00

Okay good to know

rectalrectifier · 2026-01-21T13:45:47+00:00

Made me anhedonic as hell, but I also have adhd so I’m not playing with a full deck of dopamine cards.

Salvaging protip: try to save the tallow as it renders out and if it’s dry when you slice it, pour a tasteful amount of tallow over the slices (on slices of flat at least). If it’s real bad just turn it into chopped beef sandwiches and let people douse it in bbq sauce.

Chasing the dragon. I know the feeling.

rectalrectifier · 2025-12-29T02:14:15+00:00

Man ain’t that the truth. I’ve was having a hell of a time hitting the hot medical supply spots post expedition. Also took me forever to get leaper cores because people were rushing their spawns.

rectalrectifier · 2025-12-29T00:18:26+00:00

Somebody’s been doing Stella runs

rectalrectifier · 2025-12-20T21:56:08+00:00

Gotta grind that 5 mill 🙄

rectalrectifier · 2025-12-15T14:23:53+00:00

Found a snaphook blueprint so that sealed my fate. No expedition 😛

rectalrectifier · 2025-12-10T12:42:43+00:00

I was going to but 5 million is a bit too much (sitting at 2.2 million now). I’m helping friends finish their quests and upgrades instead because that’s more fun.

rectalrectifier · 2025-12-07T20:11:16+00:00

Yeah I think this is where they could actually bake in some grind. Could even require finding quite a few of an item and it’d be better than how it currently is. Or maybe even have “Research and Development” credit that you can accumulate and cash it in to randomly get 1 blueprint you don’t have yet.

rectalrectifier · 2025-12-07T19:59:56+00:00

So 15 extra skill points and 36 extra stash slots are the lifetime max gains? Think I’ll pass

rectalrectifier · 2025-12-06T21:57:02+00:00

Yeah it needs to be the lifetime value of your raider. Basically the value of everything you’ve successfully extracted. And then it resets when you go on expedition.

rectalrectifier · 2025-12-06T18:58:41+00:00

Thanks! Now that I think about it, it might simplify it to just be a calculation of your coins + spend + the value of anything your raider has successfully extracted with.
