The author says at the very beginning this is the book he could have read at the start of his career, so yeah.

You don't own a mirror or use public facilities with mirrors?

I actually made a small hobby site that generates Magic cards using gpt (you can choose 3.5 or 4): https://mtgcardgenerator.com

You'll need to log in though so I can keep costs under control, but it's a lot of fun to play around with :)

Thanks for your comment. I'm pretty sick of the low effort takes on this site (read: internet in general). Every role is different. Each has its own challenges and anybody can be good or bad in a given role. Too many people trying to blame upper management, blame L1 managers, blame developers, without understanding, or even attempting to understand, the challenges they face. It doesn't just work like that. I'm 9 years into my career and became a manager 2.5 years ago. I agree entirely with you, it's just different, not better or worse. As a manager you are constantly dealing with a number of situations more varied than what you face weekly as a developer. The challenges are different. You can work harder, or work less hard, smarter or dumber...it's all up to the person and how their organization operates.

Show HN: A website to generate Magic: The Gathering cards

https://ambitious-meadow-0e2e9ce0f.3.azurestaticapps.net/

I created a website that utilizes OpenAI's LLM to generate realistic Magic cards based on a prompt. Using LLMs to generate Magic cards (or generate anything these days) is not new, but I've tried to put this together into a nice package and I am planning on making future improvements. You can generate some pretty flavorful cards depending on what prompt you provide.There are some issues since...

You meet people who like to socialize and that you get along with. They invite you to things and places and you meet more people, some of them single women. This will require stepping out of your comfort zone and perhaps finding new ways to enjoy yourself. Grow as a person and embrace the many different ways of living.
Pretty much this. It isn't rocket science. Unfortunately, easier said than done for most people.
Any service can provide value, and Bitcoin does provide value: secure peer to peer transfer of money without a third party, nearly instantly. Why do you say there is zero use case? But like any service, its users decide what it's worth and sometimes that means network effects impact the value. I'm not making an argument for how much value this is or should have, but please stop saying the value is zero. It simply isn't true.
