I'm such an incompetent manual tester, with such a toxic personality, and so incapable of learning new tasks or using computers, that my company is paying me to not-work, so that nobody else has to suffer spending a single minute interacting with me. Remember this, the next time someone complains about their employees.

All of the people posting articles and books their bots have written are revealing that they don't regularly read high-quality literature or journalism. Like those people who can't write well and post the drivel their bots have written, instead of their own notes. They can't tell that it's drivel. They can't tell that their AI slop is AI slop. Like the people who think ALDI sells the best wine.

Having a second/remote machine to test and work on is such an absolute game-changer, that I don't know how I got anything done, before.

> Social media is full of people who seem to have AI figured out. They post their workflows. Their productivity numbers. Their "I built this entire app in 2 hours with AI" threads. And you look at your own experience - the failed prompts, the wasted time, the code you had to rewrite - and you think: what's wrong with me? > > Nothing is wrong with you. Those threads are highlight reels. Nobody posts "I spent 3 hours trying to get Claude to understand my database schema and eventually gave up and wrote the migration by hand." Nobody posts "AI-generated code caused a production incident because it silently swallowed an error." Nobody posts "I'm tired."

@ᴛʜᴇ ᴅᴇᴀᴛʜ ᴏꜰ ᴍʟᴇᴋᴜ I just saw that #Orly 🦉has a Blossom server. I don't really know what to do with that, but I probably want to use it. What exactly is it for?

Anything to do with networking is harder than anything to do with programming and it has always been that way. Because I said so.

I'm working on a big data dump onto my #Orly🦉relay. FYI
