1000%. AI should be used to augment, not to replace. I basically see it as getting to siphon as much information out of a grey beard as I can while working on a project.

Ashken

It’s only cringe if they’re trying to be cool/hip/funny. If they’re just being themselves I say live and let live.

Ashken

Flores. That’s who I’m getting next unlock

Ashken

It wasn’t anything specific. I was being out in different projects that required me to have lunch before or after them. Eventually I just couldn’t sync up with them any more. Then there’s some health treatments my wife has been dealing with that I’ve had to be there for. That has me showing up in different schedules and often leaving early. At this point it’s just been a natural growing apart.

Ashken

NGL I’m in the same boat except I was part of the group but I feel like I’ve fallen out with them. Now I only see them in meetings, prefer to eat lunch by myself, etc.

Ashken

Came to say the same thing. I'd like to know more about who Summer is outside of the family dynamic.

Ashken

Nice, I’ve never used Go. This makes me want to look into it.

Ashken

The same thing that anything else fails to get off the ground. Money and poor execution, not necessarily in that order.

Ashken

True. If there’s anything good that’s come from AI it’s the collective disillusionment.

Ashken

If this is your first go at it you’re better off trying to produce it yourself.

Ashken

You gotta learn to laugh through the pain.

I built an API with Claude Code in C# and I think it did a decent job, though I did a lot of hand holding. I gotta go back and read that code again though, it’s been a while.

Ashken

Can let you do it during work, that time is needed for your 12th Cursor workshop.

Ashken

In the same boat. Promotions will likely only come from a new job.

Ashken

That’s fucking hilarious

Ashken

The only options are to be afraid or mentally checkout and stop caring and give the company their slop cause that’s what they pay you for. Then, you build your own thing yourself on the side.

Ashken

Highly recommend reading and learning from Claude. I prefer to ask Claude questions like it’s Stack Overflow as opposed to just asking it to write the code.

Ashken

I can’t show up to all the extracurriculars they have at my job anymore. I have too much more important shit in my life than sit around and eat lunch with everyone or sit in a 3 hour presentation about Cursor. GTFOH.

The way the industry is now, all you’re getting me to show up to is work. Fuck a team, fuck a demo, fuck all that extra shit. If it doesn’t require me to pull up a type I’m going home.

Ashken

You literally can’t address the problems of today without analyzing where they came from and how they got here. You’ll just be building a house of cards, especially in the situation we find ourselves in.

To actually have a foundation worth building on top of, we have a lot of work reversing the statutes that are still in place today that lead to this situation. And that requires a discussion on the past.

Ashken

Next steps: learn to heal and hold the system accountable for its actions. Not necessarily in that order and can be performed in parallel.

What would come of this: likely an economic, cultural and hopefully psychological secession where our community transforms from being fully integrated and dependent on the grater society to being prosperous on its own and said integration can be seen as leverage for growth rather than dependency.

What would be the outcome, etc. Hopefully a fully independent, sufficient, and functional society that can focus on blackness and its potential on its own as opposed to the lens of American capitalism. It’d matter because it continues the process of growth.

By what margin: Quantification is probably not the most effective method for framing it but even from that perspective, slavery out lasted every other atrocity but a mile.

What degree: this will likely require more time to truly create a framework as duration is one angle but severity is another (the severity of atrocities committed during subjugation). Whether or not reparations were received can be compared of course. Lasting effects. Etc.
