There are a bunch of us who had a more GenX life than our birth year would suggest. The internet wasn't a source of study and paper writing until college. We were allowed to stay home alone after school far younger than is legal today. In the summer we were kicked out of the house and roamind the town on your bike with no method of contact was normal.

If you saw kids in an 80s movie our lives matched that more than a 90s movie.

i think the big question is continuity of consciousness. when you sleep or especially when getting surgery and dont dream you just sort of accept that you now are the same you that existed before the disconnect. if when you went under and we tossed you into a teleporter would you know?

Why attack a nice state like michigan? it's the pile of crap under the bridge no one cares about.

sadly if you study up on more than the passages taught on sunday, much of this destruction is in line with jesus and the rest of the bible.

the path up in many companies is an upside down pyramid of incompetance. you use to fail your way up but now it is about how much koolaid you drink.

java was my 5th language, having just missed it as the AP CS language in highschool by a year. oddly i could not get behind such a massive standard library having come from BASIC, Pascal C++, ASM, VHDL. now after 30 years of programing i write Java web services for a living. feels strange.

i'm not seeing a benefit over nano when it comes preinstalled on osx and most linux distros.

we just picked up a new intern this month. they did ok in the interview but it was mostly that their dad works with us that they got a job this summer. this week while we were waiting for a meeting to start one of the other devs asked him about the tools he typicaly uses.

he started talking about these vibe coding IDEs and i had to look them up. WTF! but now it is all making sense. who goes to a 4 year uni getting a cs degree and can't navigate a terminal? this is going to be a long summer.
