Sounds a lot like what my country did in the 30s. It was bullshit then, it is bullshit now. There are no shortcuts to getting to know a person.
From the bottom of my heart: fuck you, if you think this is how hiring works.

Talking to an AI agent sometimes feels like talking to an old wise man.
"Ah, I spotted the issue, this is a classic issue with X, here's how to solve this".
Unfortunately, you never know at what point dementia sets in and all of the sudden it starts confusing things.

How our "perfect" one-line isOwner() function in Next.js started always returning true.
Spoiler: It is because of server functions...

I've been getting back into the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series after many years, and the most relatable part is how everyday objects like doors and elevators have been imbued with artificial intelligence and it just makes them obnoxious and frustrating to use and everyone hates it.

In 2008, Google created an ad-powered wiki encyclopedia called Knol, seen as a "Wikipedia killer" amid its highly-publicized launch. And the Wikimedia Foundation gave an unbothered response that I quite like: "the more good free content, the better for the world." Anyway Knol instantly flopped

Alright, we are down to "won't build because of Typescript errors".
At least this one is easy. Let's see if we can get this working within the hour to see what kinds of surprises Plesk will have for us.
Could have saved the whole day if their git runner would actually have access to node..

Small task to start the day: setup deployment for a client.
So far I have:
- found out that Plesk still sucks
- updated to latest Debian to update the runner
- updated the runner
- updated to latest Debian to update GitLab
- updated GitLab
- changed the docker image
Deploy still not working

I'm so sick of discourse from supposed allies about where trans people went wrong.
Where we "went wrong" is that billionaires spent unimaginably large sums to attack us repeatedly and major media outlets have spent a decade piling on.

Holy smokes, @tanstack.com start has improved a lot since I set up the last project. The CLI is really nice and the parts it lets you integrate show how well these folks understand their users. The new demo content also looks amazing.
I like where this is going. Feels like we made the right choice.

Man dürfte wohl schon berechtigt die Frage stellen mit welcher Begründung Leute die Union als "Wirtschaftspartei" sehen. Noch lustiger, dass die selben Leute den Grünen vorwerfen ideologisch zu handeln und alles verbieten zu wollen.
Es ist wie bei der Solarenergie: Eine Industrie, die den Konservativen (SPD mitgemeint) nicht gefällt, ist ihnen nichts wert, und sie machen sie kaputt! Landwirtschaft muss Tiere quälen und Supermärkte müssen Kadaverteile verkaufen, sonst ist das alles nicht richtig! Ideologie geht vor Wirtschaft!

I just upgraded my @figma.com subscription because I needed access to DevMode. Only to find out that I can't use it on files that my client shared with me. Seems like my client has to upgrade their subscription in order for this to work.
Cool. Now I have a subscription that is completely worthless.
