Triple-check that our mortage is paid off in the event of my death, so that my wife and children will have a place to live after I (sole breadwinner) am gone.

I think the root cause is the complexity.

Split the problem into manageable chunks, then attack the chunks. Apply recursion as needed.

This is part of a more senior skillset, as some times a senior will be breaking up the problem and assigning the smaller pieces to other devs.

I can't connect to my car's audio with Bluetooth, and can't afford to replace the car stereo with one that supports Bluetooth - it's just not a priority. When I upgrade my phone, I'll stay with an earphone jack.

My therapist, provided I reach the breaking point at a convenient time when we have a session scheduled.

When you think about it, there were a lot of populist movements growing through Twitter. It probably pissed a lot of wealthy, powerful people off.

Then Musk and Zuckerberg were called to private meetings with the president, weren't they? And Twitter was taken over and shut down. Then Threads, owned by Facebook who is known to help out law enforcement quite happily as well as track everything, takes off as an alternative.

Mass death will also slow down global climate change.

Keep in mind that the "them" that gets more resources includes most of the western world, traditionally.

I was using chatGPT to design up a human/computer interface to allow stoners to control a lightshow. The goal was to collect data to train an AI to make the light show "trippier".

It started complaining about using untested technology to alter people's mental state, and how experimentation on people wasn't ethical.

Me, with 20 years experience making software: yes, totally happy about this. (This makes it much easier to keep up with the latest newfangled bullshit.)

Laser cutter control software is windows only, just haven't had the time/energy to rip out the entire control system and rework it to be open source.

Once they stopped working at Twitter, they stopped existing to him.

Getting some gains out of it, but I'm still limited by the fact that I can't put anything proprietary into any AI tooling. Not motivated enough yet to roll my own.

For generic Q&A/searching, templating, etc, it's been a decent stackoverflow replacement.
