  • This is the one that might break me honestly. Destroying the us internally whatever. Increasing costs around the world arbitrarily absolute bullshit but whatever, hopefully it pushes everyone to stay far away from the us so even as we’ll all suffer maybe we’ll learn something for once (us citizens). Allowing people to die globally from a truly horrific disease, in a potentially preventable way, and then sticking other countries with the problem is downright barbaric. The worst part is even if I manage to leave this place I can’t escape whatever effects come from it imploding. Didn’t think I’d watch the collapse of an empire in my lifetime but hey I guess after being basically born into 9/11, watch 08 happen as a kid, and having covid ruin everything socially going forward and then slapped with AI entering the workforce I should have expected it. I know “every generation has experienced the bad shit” but man doesn’t make it any less shit.







  • I hope you are able to take some time and recover. Honestly I experienced some burnout at the end of my MS and my brain just turned to mush. I’m honestly struggling with AI as well because although I prefer writing everything myself, web searching sucks now, and it’s very compelling to have AI do stuff like scan codebases for you and write boilerplate, but it just makes me feel like shit every time I use it. At the very least though your advice makes me feel a lot less bad about going home and just chilling out after work.




  • My current use case right now is designing tiles and a set for a ttrpg campaign, so currently more the latter. As far as I’m aware though you can do some of the former it’s just that it’s not exactly the workflow you’d be used to. Precision isn’t the issue so much as having history I suppose. Just means you have to plan out your design a lot more ahead of time. I’ve tried some of the code based stuff like build123d since I’m a programmer and the like but frankly they never made much sense to me, although perhaps that’s the way it uses Python more than anything else. Admittedly I didn’t spent a whole lot of time on it though and I was pretty burned out at the time.
