False dichotomy is one of the original sins. The two groups as advertised aren't all that's out there. Most people are interested in results. How we get those results is part of the journey of getting results, and sometimes it's about the journey not the destination. I care very much about the results of my biopsy or my flight, I don't know much about how we get there, I want to know if I have cancer, and that my plane didn't crash. I hope that doesn't put me on the B ark that gets sent into the sun.

perfect is the enemy of the good

If only there was some sort of thing that would help you build that for yourself.

There more stuff in mine, but at the top of my ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md file, I have:

    ## Important Instructions
    
    - update todo.md as items are completed
    
    **Commit to git after making code changes.** Check `git status` first - only commit if there are actual changes:
    ```bash
    # If not in a git repository, initialize it first:
    git init
    
    # Then commit changes:
    git add <FILES_UPDATED>
    # Be surgical - add only the changes you just made.
    git commit -m "Description of changes"

This lets me have bite-sized git commits that I can marshall later, rather than having to wrangl git myself.

It's a bunch of work, that takes a bunch of time, and I want it nowwwww-owwwww!

...is how I imagine that conversation goes.

what would you have used?

Going public is not a trivial thing for a company to do. You may want to bring in additional facts to support your thesis.

This is the way. I was a great neighbor, back when I lived somewhere with concrete walls between the units. Also, db meters on ebay are great peace of mind. Mount one on your wall and find out how loud is loud enough to be heard.

Oh no, all my meaningless internet points, gone!

Can we?

Yes.

Will we?

That remains to be seen. We introduced something worse than heroin to the world, and getting off it as a society isn't going to be easy. Seriously, you run out of heroin (or these days, fetty) and have to leave the house to score more, eventually. TikTok you can watch as the thing you fall asleep to, and as the first thing you do when you wake up, before you have a thought for yourself when you wake up. You can absolutely lose your job to it. It changes your thinking, in some ways good, sometimes bad. You can't accidentally overdose on it and die the same way you can fentanyl, though if you crash your car while driving it traffic because you were on your phone, you're just as dead.

I realize the irony of posting this from my phone, but Betteridge says "no" but I implore everyone to not have something digital be the last thing you see and hear before sleep, to not be the very first thing when you wake up.

You forgot a question ..

Did we?

No. We’re adapting to something new in our environment like we always do. It just doesn’t happen overnight.
