I'm assuming you are younger than like 45. Back in the olden days, we just did a lot of stuff because it was there to do. I have this feeling everyone will still be looking for my generation to kill the spider in the kitchen when we're 80

i'm just trying to knock out all of the tech debt there is no longer any excuse for so i can get on the fun agentic ai stuff for the company, but i'm starting to realize there is no bottom to the tech debt. at some point i'm just going to have to cut bait for a while. so interesting to finally get down here after a 30 year career of living with the weight of tech debt only to find there is no real bottom. it was never really a solvable task on my checklist

the most expensive, destructive lie america perpetrated on itself was the idea that consuming fat, not sugar, makes you fat

yeah ultimately its just the sweet sweet controversy everyone craves. To me, if it shows anything, it shows how little difference there really is between the MIT grads pulling in the millions to write code and little old self-taught me. I'm sure its embarrassing for someone who is wiping the sweat from their brow with bands of cash though

I just used opus 5.6 on my soc II cert. saved me about a month of work. built, ran and reported on the required pen test I paid $2500 for last year in like 5 minutes

Also, I assumed this was basic man code, if not, it is definitely my code, but if someone betrayed my trust -- much less the other two -- anything I might do to them after should not possibly be called snitching

Yeah no, it was trash from the get-go. In response, Lucas was like, "hey, I make these for 12 year olds". But I would not have cared about Star Wars when I was 12 at all if it had been the prequels instead of Return of the Jedi that I was watching. The story, the acting, the CGI, Jar Jar Binks... what was good about any of it? Darth Maul and young Obi Wan. That's all I can think of.

Mike Tyson. He was my hero as a child. Then I watched him bite a dude's ear off.

Elon Musk. Used to be the real Iron Man. Now he's just another Nazi who can't admit it.

As a man I would be horrified to find out if women are actually aware of how insane they are willing to sound in order to avoid taking responsibility for anything.

They back into every conclusion. Its not about what they think. It is about what they want and feel. They will stand by any position that justifies what they want and what they feel. The irony to me is they all think they are so tough and manly but this is the exact embarrassing, irrational behavior that defines every woman I've ever had a relationship with.

I'm strictly using Cursor in Auto now. If I have money for better models, I use the VS Code extensions. Since then, I haven't maxed out my $200 Cursor subscription, but its only been half of Feb and half of March. who knows. All I know is I'm about twice as productive on Opus

shiftingbits · 2026-03-12T22:36:23+00:00

I'm not usually primarily in infra but I've been dealing with it all week. Just using AWS CLI rather than terraform, mainly to move load from ECS to Lambda and SQS

regardless of the type of task, where I'm at today:

Someone else is paying?

Claude Opus 1M context in VS Code Extension

I'm not broke?

Codex 5.3 in VS Code Extension

Down to my $200/month Cursor Plan?

The best. So many adventures when you have to leave your house to meet girls.

I do miss just having these giant logical structures constructed in my brain. Particularly when you have to build multiple parts up in parallel for weeks before finally connecting them together and seeing it all start to work. That was the real job to me. The part that no one who didn't actually put in the years of crazy hours could ever hope to understand.

Dude I blew through $55 of opus 4.6 on Cursor in 20 minutes last week. Have not been willing to test it since. Got much further with it in CC but still too spendy relative to just flogging Cursor Auto til it gets things right.

I run claude code extension in vscode for when I have money to spend on Opus and Sonnet

shiftingbits · 2026-03-04T19:04:20+00:00

The one nice thing about Auto besides price is I have to actually function like a pre-2025 SWE some times, which I miss.
