Having been into computers since the mid 90s, having 96 GB of RAM is blowing my mind 😂

Curious if anyone knows the difference between using VSCode Copilot with Claude 3.7 and using Claude Code. In comparing the two, I do note some difference - but more or less the same end results. So far, I find using Copilot more intuitive and FAR less expensive. Curious if I'm missing something..

It sucks seeing so many previously remote Sr software engineering positions now listed as 'hybrid' - with hybrid being 4 days in office, with 1 employer selected day remote. Without question, I best deliver from my controlled home office environment - far better than some noisy office.

Sprint wrap and start activities just always feels like Groundhog's Day to me. Nine Inch Nail's "Every Day Is Exactly the Same" always feels like an appropriate soundtrack. Always makes me miss the lesser formal projects/teams I've worked on, getting work done without all the ceremony of Agile.

If your vet recommends Librela to treat arthritis in your dog, please do your research. This drug is not as safe as they're saying and my sweet Nova is now paying the price for their lies with constant seizures - she never had one until 2hrs after the shot. This is still an experimental drug!

Such a weird workday - didn't have enough vaca to take today, but I'm out tomorrow and Wed for NYE/NY. Needless to say, today is proving to be a totes very productive one /s. Guessing Thurs and Fri will be similarly weird and unproductive - should have pointed the sprint at <50%.

Pink put on such a fun show in Birmingham last night. Not only is she one hell of a performer, but the supportive and inclusive environment she provides for all is so heartwarming to experience.
