too jumpy imo. especially the middle name when it jumps to a new line as you're typing—that's pretty jarring and unexpected.

you won't succeed if you don't fail fast. wait.

the actual purpose of waterfall is management control, which is vastly more important than project success

i find myself writing something like this pretty frequently:
"only focus on this task, we'll address other things later"
and "don't delete any comments"

A to an extent.

I think it was more interesting when they were new because it was all new information we had never had before.

Now it's just a question of how much did it change year over year which is much less interesting.

tell me the bag designer is an alcoholic without telling me the bag designer is an alcoholic

Seems reasonable, but just for clarity—the benefit here is primarily simpler types?

your point is some right orgs are immoral, invalidating all giving, but people on the right say the same thing about left orgs.

people give to what aligns with their morals, and the right does that a lot more. your opinion of their morals doesn't change how little the left gives.

fair critique, but it's not unique to conservative nonprofits. e.g. the red cross was once good, but now only pretends to help.

the right will also say leftist charities aren't helping people.

this is only a moral judgement. and the right will have an inverse moral judgement.

As church leaders/guests they would be expected to receive support, but chose to set an example instead.

this is a rebuke to the able-bodied who chose to freeload. i.e. "unemployed freeloaders"

maybe you meant facetiously that "all unemployed people are freeloaders" which this is def not saying

amazing for writing tests and fixing types. mediocre at everything else, so i just let it do a first draft and then I clean it up.

i didn't last half a day. they could have built this into Arc and people would've loved it. it just feels like a prettier Chrome with an AI extension. big meh.

would love to see Raycast buy them
