  • Klarna is really pissing me off. I got a refund from a place, and they put that money into some kind of Klarna Wallet or whatever, by default, instead of in my bank account where the money originally came from.

    So I go to their stupid site, and select the option to refund to my bank account, and they are warning me this will take up to 7 days! For no other reason than they wanting my money in their account so im tied to their service.

    Stay the hell away from Klarna. Im doing that from now on.







  • I just let the Ai write all my code and spend all my time looking for the bugs it creates.

    Its not so fulfilling mentally since I dont think anymore, but sure, goes fast and lots of code is produced.

    Also its the new normal now and I think humans can only be faster if they know the domain very well already.

    Most of us are working with apis we dont know every method of by heart, so its quite slow to write code manually, even if its correct.

    Which means this entire profession will be about fixing Ai bugs by telling it whats wrong and let it retry until it works.


  • Its because people get other priorities with age. They dont care about learning new things as much, as a general rule. They have their paycheck and they value time with family or friends. The job is just a way to get money, not a choice or a passion.

    This is in contrast with young people, who often wants to show how good they are, make a career, get recognized. Believe it or not, those older people wanted that too but not anymore. They did it, but other things became more important than work.




  • Loved that guy! Need to rewatch xfiles…

    I actually did rewatch it all a few years ago. Its quite good, but I see now as a older guy that David Duchovny actually wasnt very good playing Moulder. Didnt notice it as a kid but yeah, he is just reading lines with the same facial expression all the time. If you havent noticed, try rewatching with that in mind… :)

    Gillian Anderson is amazing though, really good actress and she was paid much less than Moulder, despite being able to actually act properly.
