I need to whine about modern CS for a moment

Not my job, mind you. My job is fun and altogether pretty cash money. I like it.  I need to complain about CS communities for just a brief moment.  Everything is either  AI doom Only caring about money and stocks and boring shit like that  Can't find a job AAAAA  Working 65 hours a week for some reason  VIBE CODING IS THE FUTURE (🖕) People thinking using any AI is "vibe coding"  Nobody codes for fun, or if they do it's vibe coded slop. SLOP SLOP SLOP 🐷🐷🐷🐖🐽 Do any of these people actually LIKE PROGRAMMING? Who are you and what the hell did you do with my nerdy little field? Go away.  No seriously. I thought vibe coding was a joke. You can't be serious, right? Like you're taking the precise art of computer science and making it stochastic, and explictly not trying to understand what is happening? That's part of the definition btw. Trying not to understand. It's the antithesis of why I code.  From slop thou wast born, slop thou doth produc...

A rare occurrence

Blogger on mobile is broken. I can't upload photos and I don't think it's due to space. I need to figure out wtf is going on. However.  My alarm went off this morning and I realized I really needed to pee, which is rare for me. I usually wake up to pee 2-4 times a night, more if it's a Saturday night and I'm sleeping in. So I don't usually have to pee when I wake up for real, as the last one is usually an hour before the alarm. In fact, I didn't remember waking up at all.  My watch mostly confirms this. It claims I was awake from 10:14-10:18 pm and that's it. I definitely do not remember this, either. I think I was not fully awake. Or, that might've been when I got up to get something out of my eye, but I think that one was before I actually fell asleep.  I've only had this happen one other time in my life that I remember. It was weird, I closed my eyes as a kid, woke up and it was Easter somehow.  I guess it also happened when I was knocked out ...

so drawtober is apparently quitting...

...this is their last year?  I'm not doing challenges where people quit hosting them. I cannot stand quitting. If I commit to something, I commit forever . But if that something quits on me , it's done. It's over. It's why I've not checked my old writing group's discord for months. Because they quit on me.  Guess I'm just going to stick with the Loish challenge instead.

Hmm...moving music again

I tried moving music to post-work for 30 minutes for a few weeks because I don't have a lunch break now due to being hourly, unless I want to work later, which I don't.  It didn't work. It was killing WAC (Writing, Art, Code) by making them too short. It does, however, work well as a backup, and a goal for in office days.  But each instrument only takes 15 minutes, so I could move them into two breaks with modified Pomodoro instead. This might suck though. Even so, only getting 30-40 minutes of each WAC practice was killing me.

possible new hyperfixation: the indie web?

never heard of all these tiny websites that look like they're straight out of 2010 deviantart and everyone is both a coder and an artist, until yesterday... no vibe coding in sight.  i think i'm going to base my portfolio site revamp loosely off of this. it'll be less of a portfolio and more of a homepage that happens to be portfolio-adjacent. let's be real, who cares about impressing some lame recruiters? the work should speak for itself.  i'm still going to use actual web tech though, i don't want to be so minimalist like i'm a feralfront user in 2012 customizing profiles with copy/pasted javascript to make a grumpy cat mouse  i mean i do , but i also want to use my degree :p
