Love it!
I see a lot of posts stating "Software Engineering used to be more fun before AI" and "AI has taken away all creativity from Engineering"

MARK: No, I work. Work work work. Dad worked. Dad worked and worked. Dad sad. Dad sad work. Mom dead.

I came back from speaking at @renderatl.com energized and full of ideas. The byproduct of a few months development in my free time and some writing, I learned how to create an Astro.js blog, host it with Github pages, and point it at a custom domain. Start your journey.

Ah, I forgot you have those PNW pipes that are not medium temp at all times.
We have one from Betterway that we bought in 2022. It is non-electric (ie. cold water) but has stood the test of time being so analog based solely on water pressure. Also, didn't know I'd be talking so much shit on Bluesky today. 😂
Came here to say this.
An image generated by Nano Banana from Google AI Studio with the label of "EGPGNAT" clearly mislabeling what is an "EGGPLANT"
Image: nailed it.
Text: needs improvement.
Oh, simpler times.
I’d guess it’s ANT-Y for the poetic assonance.
And tomorrow morning it will be withered.

Dragon fruit flowers are intense.
Wait, you do improv? I do improv! I think you, @eveporcello.com and I should form a super group of devs who improv.
Cursor:
I see you're using custom CSS. Let me just...
transition: color 0.3s ease;
...to every class with a color.
Cursor adding a transition of color 0.3s ease CSS to all color properties.
AI tools when they try to edit "vanilla" CSS. Works 100% of the time 50% of the time.
