I for one welcome our new AI overlords
It’s very useful to write code. I’ve commented several times in this thread with examples where it’s helped me. I’m not a developer. I pay like $30 a month for claude. It’s well worth it. My use case, and others like me, in no way justify the billions invested in ai.

Time for another ‘my dog is awesome’ thread
- Christmas 2025
I scored big this year. I got a couple new patagonia fleece jackets with explicit instructions to toss out my old school north face one that acts as a magnet for cat and dog hair. I got a Made In griddle that I just seasoned. Big score was a brisket BBQ class at Goldies Already told my wife that she can expect me to come away from the class with a need for a smoker. Wife made out pretty well. Ralph Lauren purse, a 1967 first press of The Master and Margarita by Harper and Roe, and a legit oasis los angeles tshirt with the pop up store tag because she wants the original because reasons. We went to a chicago and LA show; I wasn’t going to wait in the pop up store line in hollywood after spending 4 hours doing that in chicago. It was harder to find the oasis shirt than the book from 1967.- Trump’s America

claude helped me write two oracle stored procedures that repairs data our packaged fulfillment application fubars. Got them tested and deployed to production in a few hours. claude wrote a complex query for me this morning that looks at orders that our fubared fulfillment system doesn’t send the shipment message to our OMS so that stores and customers can get their shipment information and we can recognize revenue. I asked our DBA two weeks ago for help configuring oracle in AWS to enable email notifications based on an oracle trigger. No response. I’m gonna ask claude about it tomorrow and send the DBA instructions on how to do it. I’ve done a couple weeks worth of work in about a day.- Covers Good and Bad

When I evaluate candidates for a position, I begin by listing a clear definition of the must have skills, preferred skills, and nice to have skills. These go in the job listing. I put a weight of 1-10 for each of these skills: 10 being the most important and 1 being the least important. I evaluate each resume against these skills and give them a rating from 1-5. 5 being the best. My spreadsheet then gives a point rating of sum(skill weight * candidate rating). Highest scores are candidates for an interview. I told HR that I’d prefer not to have names on the resumes to eliminate any subconscious bias. My team is technical so I get some candidates with bachelor degrees in india so it’s impossible to rate all candidates blindly. I assumed everyone had a similar approach.- Maga Xmas ideas?

Once again, I’m the outlier. I’m working through a complex parcel shipping server and fulfillment system messaging issue, and the infrastructure team recommended a load balancer to throttle the traffic to the currently overwhelmed parcel system complete with SYN, ACK, PSH, FIN messages. I described what the infra team recommended for a Monday action plan meeting and asked claude to make some images. 10 minutes of prompts resulted in pretty good images to facilitate the proposed multi-phase solution discussion with non-technical leadership. Sorry snagit. Haters gonna hate.- Who the fuck are you? (Who are you? Who, who, who, who?) Another "Polutical Axis" Survey.

The last verse of this always hits me hard. I remember the lead up in 2003 to the iraq war and being very skeptical of W, cheney and colin powell. I’ve seen the white buffalo three times live. There is absolute silence in the crowd during this song.- Protest Songs

The call lasted 10 hours yesterday. It will continue again today. There were 10 people on the call at any one time up to and including the CTO. After all was said and done, the vendor made a recommendation. After the call concluded, I entered the same findings from our research in claude, and claude made the exact same recommendation as the vendor. I am a claude fan. - Christmas 2025
