Honestly, with the rise of GenAI, stock photo might be dead.

I have serious reservations about the tech, but using it costs a lot of money for the people pushing it, so I’m more ok with it.

You mean ʇsǝʍ ɥʇɹoN

It’s true. Every book, movie, game or piece of software you’ve ever used (unless you made it yourself) has been subject to some kind of licence, that can be revoked.

It was. It was crazy fast and lightweight at the time.

It gained massive market share.

It became the default development target for websites.

Other browsers started getting left behind.

Each step syphons users from other browsers, compounding issues.

Write down your current minimum, stick to it. You can review after a few days if there’s no interest.

Be up front, show pictures of flaws or damage on the items.

Respect people’s time. Keep the listing up to date. Try to learn from failed interactions and update the listing accordingly.

Have an idea of how the item is getting to the buyer and how much that would cost. Prefer to meet in person in a well trafficked area when others will be around and there are cameras nearby that you can rely on in case of robbery. Inside a Starbucks, for example. If someone is resistant to meeting in a public place, reconsider doing business with them.

Cash is king. Everything else can be clawed back if they scream “fraud!” Having flaws on the listing will give you a lot of power when someone tries to get the money back.

PR reviews take the most time, eliminating those saved us loads of time.

QA were also bogging us down, axed them too. Now we’re flying.

The Social Security Infrastructure rebuild should be done in a matter of weeks! At least that’s what Copilot says.

Be a man.

‘git commit -am “changes”’

Mobile app users get annoyed if you push too many updates. So you gotta pace yourself.

I completely agree. Not mentioned in my spiel is the constant human QA effort, each ticket merged gets checked, releases get a week of testing before release to the public.

Also, yeah. I’m iOS frontend. I make pixels dance. Either I leave security to Keychain or I hope (read: confirm) backend is sanitising inputs.

Rogue-like: Randomly generated levels, high difficulty, ‘run’ based with very limited continuity between runs. (Generally, items and resources gained on a run are lost when the run ends, usually there is an exception that lets you improve some aspect of your character for the next run)

Deckbuilder: Actions, movement and/or abilities are controlled by randomly drawing power cards from a deck. Spent cards are move to a discard pile. When your draw pile is empty, shuffle the discard pile and move it to the draw pile.

During the game, cards can be added and removed from the deck, allowing the player to tune their decks for a desired playstyle.

Small PR are easy to review and parse. Work gets broken down in to small, shippable changes. If you couple that with feature flags, you can get to a point where shipping a release is as easy as building whatever the latest commit is on Main and pushing it out the door.

Automate that, do it every week or two.

Tell me you commit your dependencies without telling me you commit your dependencies.

Anycubic has (imo) dire customer support. I’m rooting for you, but don’t expect any delivery updates until you hear your doorbell ring.

I got that far into the OP and thought, “Yeah, nah. Not a failure.” Then the rest of the post went up from there.

Gfs parents are fuckheads, probably put a ton of pressure on their daughter to be perfect all the time. That’s the kind of upbringing that traumatises people. (Conjecture on my part)

The fact the internet actually works at all is nuts.

Like any newb, the nuance is lost.

Data types don’t matter, the interface matters.

I’m sure they would have dealt with bugs, while alive.

Raccoon or Possum?

Complete guess, I’m a software engineer.

I don’t even know nothing about the customization. I just create a page and dump links, pictures and some typing in there.

But yes! Small, incremental change!

For digital rabbit holes, something like Notion helps a lot. I have one page per interest and I collect learnings and links related to the topic in there. Similarly to the physical buckets, they are all in one space so you can have a quick look at refresh your memory and pick up where you left off.
