  • It is no one’s business yet people make it their business. If OP gets fired because they get seen giving their partner a kiss or a neighbour outs them then, suddenly their identity is an issue at work. Just because OP has not been outed involuntarily yet, doesn’t mean it won’t affect them in the future. And if OP, for fear of getting fired, is keeping their identity a secret, it is actively affecting them. If a gay dude says to their co-worker “my partner made that cake” instead of “my boyfriend made that cake” because mentioning a boyfriend is a risk to their work it is affecting them.


  • My plan is to finally get to a psychiatrist to diagnose my probable ADHD and my very very likely autism. Like so likely I have no idea how I didn’t notice before. I just always thought I’m just weird and everyone else is just better at acting like a normal human being. Now I know I’m not weird but that I have this little superpower, that comes with some drawbacks like sensory sensitivities and sometimes seeming odd to neurotypical people. But it’s not just me and it warms my heart that I’m normal with other neurodivergent people and fit in so well ❤️‍🩹




  • The Priory of the Orange Tree might fit what you are looking for. I’ve only learned the term soft magic just now so I might be wrong but magic in that world is mysterious and feels similar to Lord of the Rings. However there’s multiple types of magic and one of the main characters understands a bit more about one of those types and thus knows a bit about its limitations iirc so we as the reader are introduced to those a bit. Overall I’d say it probably fits.



  • There’s a reason why in my comment i talked about LLMs as bad while saying AI in general has it’s uses. The reason being this post being about LLMs.

    I know very well that specialized AI has a lot of uses in medical science and other fields but that’s not really what got hit with all the hype, is it? The hype is managers saw a language model give seemingly better answers to questions than John Rando from 2 blocks down the road so they’re now looking to cut out all the already low paid workers and spoiler alert we will not land in a society where the general public profits from not having work. It will be the same owners of capital profiting as per usual.





  • Agreed but i feel at least in scrum theory it is encouraged to have a T of skills with deep knowledge about your speciality and shallow but for basic stuff sufficient knowledge in the rest of skills in the stack. So i think it is known that full stack doesn’t mean master of everything. But yeah it’s impossible to master everything. My skill gets smaller the further i stay from the frontend. Like I can get backend tasks done but tell me to write a plsql package and I’m gonna have to learn a lot of new shit
