I don’t know how universal it is, but movie tickets here have at least tripled since I was a kid, 20 odd years ago.

Meanwhile, me and 4 friends pooled our pocket money together to buy a video game that we could barely afford. Brand new video games are the same price now.

I’m not saying “they should increase their price”, but it is wild how somehow they haven’t in decades

Wait, some devs get to choose what they work on?

You just have to find a molehill. It’s easy to make mountains out of.

I do wonder how long they’ll let old.reddit.com stay. I assume they don’t want it but are worried about the backlash

Honestly love tailwind. Once you get used to all the names/abbreviations and how they work with sizes and states etc. it’s much easier to see what’s happening when eyeballing code.

Makes reviewing and bug fixing easier too.

I get that early on it feels annoying. I recall disliking it the first time I learnt it, but then when I went back to regular css and classes I really missed it.

I recall saying something like “the function ‘draw_card’ doesn’t mutate the deck variable” and it goes “I’m sorry, you’re correct. I’ll fix it to mutate the deck variable” and it returns the same code but changes the the card variable inside function to be called “mutate_the_deck”.

I felt much safer after that interaction.

I was using phoenix and elixir right when Chat gpt came out and people were like “it’ll take our jerb”.

I tried to get it to build a basic module that built a playing deck of cards. At first it looked OK, the basic layout made sense, but then I realised it called functions that weren’t there, some functions were just empty, since logic was wrong and actually it was all around terrible.

I tried to fix it with prompts and it got worse or implemented my suggestions incorrectly and was still broken.

Ultimately it took a lot longer to get no where than if I’d just written it by myself. But I could see how someone with not much knowledge in the area could see the output and be impressed.

Omg… I think I’m showing my age 😅 I thought that was “ask jeeves” (pre google Internet search thing) and it was a joke about developers looking things up so the time on the job
