    Sorry I'm blogging again. Took my trip to Austin and outside a few small things I stayed in range basically the entire time (97%). Having the Dexcom really puts so much into perspective. I feel that immediate accountability is forcing me to make better choices knowing if I don't it's going to...

    We are hiring junior devs now because they are more AI forward in this day and age than boomers like us. I heard that directly from management. The thought process is the juniors will be leading the charge for AI adoption and us seniors will be doing the meaningful work. on paper it doesn't...

    Same happened to mine - caps blew on the mobo and s bunch of devices never worked the same. It also melted a part of a CD player we had plugged in nearby so bad the top didn't open anymore

    Honestly took it for both. My mindset changed when I went on it like I said before though. I definitely viewed it in some negative way before and now I can't see any negatives with it outside some.very clear cases of people taking it for the wrong reasons. You can hang on the glp1 subs and see...

    My point was really that there were long-term studies, but I get what you mean. I just think there's a general misconception that Ozempic was the first iteration of GLP-1 but people have been on it for awhile now.

    First GLP-1 approved by FDA was in 2005, so there are long-term studies. It wasn't until ozempic that people went crazy about the weight loss side.

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    I think the days of a standard Nintendo console are gone. They're making a killing on handhelds and essentially own the market.

    I still eat carbs but definitely not as much. I just find it interesting that as a diabetic you're taught to test 2 hours after eating but I didn't consider that due to slower digestion from mounjaro it might be further delayed. I think the key to my eating is that my brain now gets a signal...

    190 today. Down 45 pounds or so. I have my dexcom g7 now and I feel like I am min maxing food so much now. Something interesting to me is I see the blood sugar spike after the 2 hours I believe because of the mounjaro. Changed my perspective of how good my blood sugar was doing. Even so, blood...

    There's a push here for us to start feeding very well crafted specs to agents and have them write all the code based on that. At a high level, thats a great use case for AI. At a realistic level, this is going to raise a generation of engineers that do not understand how the sausage is made. In...

    Well not my fault. But I should clarify that the AI agents don't have repo access. They're making broad assumptions about what is wrong and people are using it as fact

    I have people now using AI in JIRA bugs blaming my code and dumping the AI analysis with 0 human interaction. And shocker, haven't met a single analysis that was correct.

    I really didn't like D4 at launch. Did the campaign and basically never played again, but I'm kinda itching for something mindless to play occasionally. Anyone in the same boat that can comment on how much the game has improved? Secondary question - anyone run it on the steam deck? Heard it...

    Some of our local restaurants use door dash to do their deliveries I just remembered as well. Kind of rubs me the wrong way because it's just random shit stains bringing your food who don't really have any stake in how you receive it.

    Health Problems

    Results have been really good at my last appt so I'm also at a once per year visit. However since I'm on Mounjaro and removed a bunch of meds they're checking my a1c every few months to make sure no wild swings happened. Partially why I wanted a CGM was to really know what's happening. Right...

    Getting door dash is such peak laziness, there's a retard tax there for sure. Only time I ever used it was instacart when we stayed on the disney resort because we didn't rent a car. We had them deliver some groceries to the hotel

    Thanks. I ordered a pack to go with it. I'm flying to Austin Sunday so thought it might be a good time to start. BMI is fake and gay but as of today I'm in "normal" range. Hit 194 this morning.

    When I worked at BK like 25 years ago we had a 5 piece and 10 piece nugget or something and the 10 piece cost like a full dollar more than buying 2 5 pieces. I think they're just banking on retardism

    I don't love chilis but their $10.99 chicken sandwich 3 for me deal has to be the best deal in fast food right? Entree (sandwich + fries), drink, unlimited chips and salsa I normally wouldn't even put it in the fast food category but it's better than actual fast food deals.

    Had trouble getting a CGM at a good price because MA law specifically bans some manufacturers coupons. Doctor first tried libre 3 and I'm not paying $250 a month so then he tried dexcom g7 and that went through. $30/month for those with insurance. Gonna give it a shot next week. Any tips for...

    I wonder how deep the analysis goes. Have to assume with GLP-1s doing so much there is probably a reduction in health spending by individuals as well.

    Food is an addiction for many, just like any other addiction. It's easy to minimize it to willpower, but it's the same thing as complaining about a gambling addict that can't control themselves.
