I work in tech. I would be happy to work on gta 6 for 30% of my current income.

In addition to low salary, and crunchtime, the other big downside in the gaming industry is frequently layoffs, and studioes going bust.

You can't ride on a single game for long, and if the next one goes badly half the company will get fired. Not true of the bigger studios, but of course not everybody works in those.

I have friends who work in gaming, and it's a regular thing for studios to form with a great game, go bust a year or three later, and then a new studio get formed with largely similar staff.

Developers move between the same companies around and around again. The lack of stability is a real problem, especially with increasing use of "AI".

Shit can hit the fan with bigger studios when Microsoft or Sony acquire them.

Seconday question, for how long do you think you would be happy with that arrangement?

I just consider this temp phase because models are dumb and harnesses are not yet there.

When I need code review I should just say “review it”. Model should figure out what plugins, skills, etc. to use.

Why does it need plugins/skills for a code review? Claude will just "review it" if you ask it to, and if you have particular preferences, they can go in CLAUDE.md

Skills are effectively the same thing as asking it, just with more depth. So the skill is just a framework for a very precisely asked question. It often includes how you want Claude to respond, etc.

I’m not aware of anything fundamentally unique about skills or commands, they’re just more tokens to shape the llm

Totally. You can do that now, and Claude will know to use /code-review.

I got flashbacks from preparing immigration papers…

In final jewelry no. This is why brands like Tiffany are in panic and pivoting to mechanical-watch-like branding, where only inflated price matters.

I did consider but there are 2 issues. 1. Efficiency. Not all roof parts can be exposed to sun. You overpay 2. You need to time it with roof change

Home insurance also (ie replacement cost after damaging weather event).

I can't help but think that this essentially ruled it out in much of the country -- i get the impression Tesla doesn't tend to consider Midwest markets in their initial engineering

Some apps close window. Some apps close tabs. Some apps can close tab or window. Some apps require double press (chrome)

That’s chrome being a dick - it chrome has an option to undo that (and it’s cmd-q they dickified, not cmd-w).

Oh, you are right. Wrong key

Or you just use iPhone satellite messaging without relying on extra devices that may not even work in mountains

This won't reliably get messages between two users in the mountains.

Neither will Meshtastic!

You can use both. In the mountains I would appreciate redundancy.

All distribution channels that existed before steam are still available. Multiple competitors to steam are available.

There is very little vendor lock. We can keep using subsidized model until it’s not. Then switch to next subsidized model.

It's like chairs!

I always buy hardbacks when possible. I don’t care about hardback part much. But I found that paper quality is often better jn hardbacks.

Of course, French books get it right, first edition is softback but with really nice paper, and not too sodding big. Portable.
