I use Wyze but they have their own issues…

9 times out of 10 there is no rehabilitation for these people. Focus your time and energy on more fruitful endeavors.

I meant why would people advertise on Google if it won’t convert to clicks anymore?

Wouldn’t this kill their ad revenue? Which is like…most of their revenue?

I’ve used agents for implementing entire APIs and front-ends from the ground up with my own customizations and nuances.

I will say that, for my pedantic needs, it typically only gets about 80-90% of the way there so I still have to put fingers to code, but it definitely saves a boat load of time in those instances.

I’ve found Claude 3.7 and 4.0 and sometimes Gemini variants still leagues better than ChatGPT/Copilot.

Still not perfect, but night and day difference.

I feel like ChatGPT didn’t focus on coding and instead focused on mainstream, but I am not an expert.

I had to give up going to the best burger place in my small town because they are stupidly pro-Trump.

On the plus side, a lot of other people did too and I think they’re pretty close to going under, which I’m fine with.

INB4: Are you really happy with the suffering of your fellow humans? - Abso-fucking-lutely I am when it is these abhorrent excuses for a person. They peddle hate and fear and are literally proactively harmful to the community. I will not stand for that and neither should you.

ChatGPT has been, hands down, the worst AI coding assistant I’ve ever used.

It regularly suggests code that doesn’t compile or isn’t even for the language.

It generally suggests AC of code that is just a copy of the lines I just wrote.

Sometimes it likes to suggest setting the same property like 5 times.

It is absolute garbage and I do not recommend it to anyone.

I run Linux too, but I have to use windows for some contract jobs.

How’d you do that? I’ve made registry tweaks, group policy tweaks, etc and my windows machine still eventually hits a limit where it forces updates around the 12 week mark. Granted it’s still longer than before, it isn’t completely disabled.

I have 60ish plugins for VS Code and IntelliJ is still slower / sluggish.

Fucking hell.

Oh thank god, I thought it was just me and that my IP had been flagged for some reason.

I guess that makes some sense, I loathe Jira but I think it’s largely because everywhere I’ve worked that uses Jira has poorly customized it and just ruined the experience.

You might be joking but I honestly think that’s the case. It’s wild to me. I’ve worked for Fortune 500 companies using SNOW and everybody hated it and regularly voiced complaints and issues and yet the company refused to change. Started doing shit like releasing more training docs on how to use it or doing brown bag lunches on SNOW effectiveness.

But ultimately none of that mattered, it is just inherently garbage.

I didn’t even know this existed and I use Ghostery.

the fuck does service now even need AI for?

I hate any company I work for that uses ServiceNow. And now it’s getting worse??

I don’t have any great advice, I’m sorry. But if you live in Oregon I’ll totally buy you a beer and listen to your story.

Definitely not OK. But it exists and I don’t think people realize it goes beyond tracking clicks to taking actual screenshots that can be stitched together practically as a video. It sucks.
