@AbhiCodes15 If you're paying full time at full rate then I'll build anything you want. There will be some constraints on fit and finish but pre-AI I've been doing full stack for 15 years.

Oh yeah, and it's also really awesome exercise. :p

"I don't get it? You have a tractor, bush hog, zero turn and electric mower... Why did you get a manual push mower?" Glad you asked. Today I want to talk about frustration tolerance. I'm sure you've heard of the Hopf Cycle; "Hard times create strong men... (And so on)." So what do you do if times are going okay but you want to make strong children? You have to simulate hard times. You have to do easy jobs in a way that gets you frustrated. But more than that -- your kids need to see it happen and watch how you handle the feelings. Around the play structure I run a garden. I get down on my hands and knees. I use a push mower. I get sweaty and tired and frustrated. But more than that; I get it done anyway. All the while hoping for the day that the kids say, "uh... Dad -- did you know there's an easier way?" Then I get to teach them another lesson, how to develop thought leadership.

@AliGrids Infinite Claude in 2009 is... Some french dude who follows you around wayyyyyy too much. Weights and scaffolding for a local LLM model of modern competition quality quantized to work on era appropriate hardware spanning from 2009 to 2026? Definitely that one.

@CuriosityonX Based on that image... Leantopia.

@haydendevs I found one of my dad's in a box in the workshop. No I'm not giving it back to him; don't be silly.

@LukewSavage You're right, Canada has too much business. Let's drive it away.

@haydendevs Yeah I definitely start my day with at least a chapter of the Bible before I jump into this global hivemind.

@GithubProjects Sorry dawg, fully hated since Microsoft bought you out and used you to train AI off private repos. Some people are addicted to the ease; but you don't have the love you think you do.

#notai That is all.

@DanAdvantage Rewinding to start position? I thought it was a celebration dance.

@BillyM2k ... Jeeze, actually I was going to argue but... Yeah, that's valid.

In my morning Bible reading I just finished Jeremiah. My mind is drawn back to Exodus and the complaints about Manna. It's easy to say you would accept the blessing of food quietly. It's harder to accept the blessing today. Sure grocery stores are expensive. But God provides. Roasted Dandelion Root coffee with my lunch.

@mela_1111 In your honor I'll have a roasted dandelion root coffee with my lunch. :)

What's the best way to pull dandelions? (Psst; don't worry tech bros -- this one's secretly an allegory for you) Most people see a dandelion grab its leaves and pull. However that's what we've done since time immemorial and wouldn't you believe; dandelions have figured it out. The plant is particularly pernicious because it treats the leaves as relatively disposable. It just grows back. The next group is smarter - they dig around and loosen the soil before they pull. Getting most of the roots and often having nothing grow back. However -- the piece that's missing for these is recognition of dandelions as an indicator species. In an open field dandelions grow where it's too dark, compact or low nutrient for grass. The easiest and best solution is actually to dig a hole a couple inches around the dandelion, turn the whole clump of dirt upside down, grab the root from the bottom and shake it out from the thatch. The dandelion slips easily through the thatch, the soil is loosened and the overturned thatch decomposes and provides nutrients. Sunlight is still a potential issue but it doesn't fit the allegory. "Okay but... I live in Circuit City on Concrete Blvd. Why do I care?" Good question. It's an allegory for fighting bugs in your code. Pulling dandelions is resolving tickets. They said, "the button doesn't work for me." Test show it works so you add a toast showing what happened? Pulling leaves. Checking the frontend code and discovering that it doesn't load the click listener in a corner case? Pulling roots. Meeting the stakeholder and finding out that they actually meant was that the button should be a switch because they don't like the text changing to "off" when they press it? That's solving for the environment a problem lives in. Code is cheap these days, look to solve the specification not just the surface effects.

@mela_1111 It's a good point to mention. My allegory does assume that dandelions are something to be removed. They might not taste great but they're fantastic antioxidants and have good stores of vitamin a and c. I've got a basically infinite supply of yuck carrots 😂
