As a resident of #Portland it is impossible to capture how unhinged this is. We are a low crime city and the ICE protest "siege" consists of one auxiliary ICE office that normally has at most a dozen weirdos debating what performance art they should use to block a single driveway

This.

The skill is built in the doing.
The reward is in the struggle.

Outsourcing one's cognition does not make you a better writer.

Writing (and reading) makes you a better writer.

same, got it at 35 due to stress/burnout. Still have scars 10+ years later. ‘thousand needles with electricity going between them’ in the closest I can describe it
I had shingles in my 30's. It's the worst pain I've experienced, hands down. There's not even a close second.

Go get your shingles shot. Period.
I’m 46 but I had my shingrix shot because I’m worried about what RFK jr is going to do with vaccines. Shingles is a preventable illness like measles. We are so lucky to have these vaccines! I for one will not forgo them because the guy who runs government health services has a 🐛 in his 🧠

Even accepting the premise that AI produces useful writing (which no one should), using AI in education is like using a forklift at the gym. The weights do not actually need to be moved from place to place. That is not the work. The work is what happens within you.

how do you all remember every UUID? I find it really hard. so I wrote them all down on every uuid dot com

the list has fast search across all 2^122 values (so you can find your favorites) - hoping to add some social features like "trending UUIDs" soon!

“Code that runs on the server can be fully costed. Performance and availability of server-side systems are under the control of the provisioning organization …

Code that runs on the client, by contrast, is running on The Devil's Computer.” 😆 love this!
