It's near impossible in a multi kid house without applying the same rules to the rest of the kids. I see people do this for the first kid and abandon it entirely for the 2nd.
Re:I think I have LLM burnout on Wednesday July 08, 2026 @10:30PM (#48840258)
I don't mind interacting with LLMs myself and find they increase my productivity a decent amount. I just can't stand dealing with other people's slop.

Getting sent IM responses that are copy pasted LLM nonsense. Getting a massive PR to review that was generated overnight and the author didn't read it first.

Okay well how about my EVSE (EV car charger)? Much more akin to a tool. I can't configure it now because it relies on a cloud interface and the company that sold it to me changed hands several times and now doesn't operate in the US. Now it's stuck thinking I want it limited to 28 amps rather than the 50 amps my new car can use.
I don't call those tips, they are bribes or bids. I avoid all delivery services personally as much as possible and I'm fortunate to have a car.
The trick is to prep your coffee machine the night before. I've only done it a few times, but it was very nice to wake up to that surprise.

Uhh a lot of companies did and are strict on what AI tools are allowed.

The main thing I had to wait on for a long time was support for preventing 3rd party code from being plagiarized since our code base was intermingled with partnered companies.

I've used tiller for several years. Handles all the connections to pull data, but all the data is completely accessible within a spreadsheet on my own storage.
