I worked the HTML mines in the 90’s so I’ve seen some shit. I develop .NET web apps for a living. Blazor, SSR, and HTMX are my current favourites. https://github.com/robodobdob

A 20% increase in cost from following a best practice seems like a big deal

> Meanwhile, the context files increase the # steps in every setting on average by 2.45 and 3.92 steps, respectively, which leads to a cost increase of 20% and 23% on average, respectively

I just live in hope that all this insanity is fixed by some actual adults after the next election.

What do they say about the definition of madness?

I know what you mean. I recently prompted a demo app into life and while it looked impressive I felt zero pride in it. It was as if I had just asked a dev in another country to build me an app.

I’d love an EV again.

Just don’t have the readies which is probably the main blocker for most people.

I’ve felt for a while that Labour needs a firebrand leader - someone who can put people like Seymour and Peter’s in their place.

Seven Sharp is just advertising in human interest clothing.

This evening’s puff piece on the old dears who met at school, was clearly an Arvida advertorial. B-roll of the grounds and the conspicuous logo sign on the wall in camera shot.

So many questions…

Does the list along the bottom implies there once existed a clam sauce?

How dull were parties back then where a condiment was the star of the show?

We’ve got a government rationing dialysis to afford tax cuts for the rich.

A comprehensive school lunch program is going to be so far away, you’d need the James Webb telescope to see it.

He sees himself as a “big business leader”, but it just feels like cosplay - trot out the practiced phrases, but say nothing of substance.

You can see it when he’s caught off guard. Totally unprepared and unable to think on the fly.

An ersatz prime minister.

Pea and ham soup, for all the sense he makes.

It feels almost like we need a PersonalDB which *we* own and host.

When we sign up for a service, we give them permission to scaffold in our DB.

I will believe Microsoft has moved to a full agent based coding style with insane claimed productivity if they fix .NET Hot Reload and dotnet watch overnight.

I did the same last night. Had two of the buggers swirling around my room.

I “Hotboxed” them with odourless spray and then wondered why my throat was scratchy about 15 mins later.

I don’t think anyone remotely technical has been near this smooth-brain idea.

Just as in every other life-improving policy, NZ looks to the world and thinks “nah, it’ll never work here”.

$170 for a basic ticket to Split Enz.

That’s gonna be a no from me.

I think when they were part of the mainstream, their opinions were tempered opposing ideas.

But now everyone voice has a podcast and they get high on their own supply.

That’s interesting.

So are you basically double-checking the AI summary against the dictation?
