Neckbeard, but I am unable to grow a beard.

I'm a polish software engineer by trade (and passion) working on #Ruby on Rails in a SASS. But my true heartbeat is the #foss #RetroComputing rhythm: I love my #emacs #freebsd combo. I am very much into #smallweb and all that it stands for.

I love good #SciFi but recently I've been reading good #fantasy - which is a shock to me. There are great fantasy books out there!

Piracy is the only answer to streaming services.

@nprofile1q... Sadly, this is zeitgeist in soft engineering world. Everyone says that we went to 7th gear, that if you are using older model 10 minutes after the new one drops, you are lossing. That not using ai is a suicide. That the models are getting so good so fast that it's useless to focus on anything that is not prompting, as even if now it may be a problem, in a year no one will ever need to look a code ever again.

C-butts agree and they are open at "be faster". It works. the models are.... okayish, but the 10x engineers we hear about? Yeah, they don't work 8 hours a day. I don't work 8 hours a day anymore. It's a race to the next layoff which, of course, are not "performance based" but no one believes that. So we prompt like monkeys not thinking because the output volume seems to be everything that matter.

Personally, I want to survive till a few more huge outages happen and the world comes back to their senses. Currently I would not use any SASS for anything of any value.
