I was thinking today how we will in such a cool age. Yes, AI slop is rampant, but there are so many skilled individuals and teams who post their code repositories publicly. I'm trying to grow and looking for examples of things like excellent architecture, code readability, and quality. I am even more curious about repositories (on the smaller side) written by a few people or less.

Thanks for sharing. Do you think being a subject matter expert is a crucial part of job satisfaction?

Do you still do A/B testing? As in, was this a specialty or just a project you were assigned?

Wow, that's amazing. Do you have any favorite lesser-known movies you watched during that time?

Re:Honestly, It's Probably the Phones on Thursday March 02, 2023 @10:44AM (#34997079)
Recently I uninstalled most of the applications on my phone, including the browser, email, youtube, and any other form of social media. Now I mostly use my phone for podcasts, texting, phone calls, maps, and as calendar. It's really great!

It's worth a try I think. You can always reinstall those apps if you change your mind.
