A whole new world of "SEO"? I don't even know where to start to get Photivo.com on ChatGPT to come up for "Whats the best online gallery for professional photographers" - especially since the results it gives now are absolute total shit.

Thats awesome, congrats. It really is hard sometimes to feel like things have changed or improved as much as they have when it all comes in a stream of small and medium wins.

File that core memory away with that time I started an update on a million+ row db table without a where clause back in 2001 that I still lay awake thnking about sometimes!

Perpetually telling yourself that next month will be less crazy…. I feel that.

I know that simply using my own words and polishing them through ChatGPT or Grammarly alone causes “AI detection” to go off. I had an “AI Expert” and old connection call out one of my linked-in posts last year (for clicks I’m sure) that I wrote 95% of.

I don’t do post purchase / sign up surveys and I keep kicking my self for it. It keeps getting pushed down my todo list.

I tell my AI tool to misspel at least one common typo per every post it writes to make it more believable

I find my most valuable question when I interview to be some version of “tell me about a recent big mistake you’ve made. What happened, what were the results, how was it resolved & what was the takeaway” - The bigger the fuckup, the more details has directly correlated with success. Bad answer = 🚩

I rocked the De'Longhi ECP3630 for a long time & loved the simplicity. I eventually killed it and went overboard w/ an Ascaso Steel Duo machine.

One you geek out on grind, pre-infusion, brew length & measure everything to the gram.... well it's all over. Def a rabbit whole for the engineer minded!

The only way I was able to do this even close to 100% was to leverage docker containers. PyEnv and Poetry were the only way to do it, and yes every now and then they just have a total melt down!

Lazy writing for lazy viewers. Also as I understand it they are always telling writers to dumb things down for “second screen” viewing because so rarely now for especially younger viewers are they giving the TV show or movie full attention. Instead they are browsing on their devices while watching!

For the first time in a while I’m not feeling like Christmas at all. We’ve got the house decorated, but I think we’re so focused on the upcoming Engage conference at Amelia Island next week I haven’t looked up to breath much.

One almost $300 car battery later swapped in the restaurant parking lot and it started right back up no problem. I would highly recommend everyone NOT use autostop in their cars.

Starting fresh with my follows here - just a few familiar faces from a Slack group. Using this as a chance to discover entirely new voices! Now I'm diving deep into profiles and links, giving context to all these avatars. It's like a digital treasure hunt. 🔍

Unless you are doing video editing or running training on a laptop for some reason will you be able to actually tell a difference? There is practically zero difference between my M1 and M3 as a software engineer and photographer. Topaz does render a little faster.

Seeing too many people came here to have a smaller echo chamber of ideas, not for something different or better.

I click on “see less” on every single political post here. I do not even care if I agree with it.
