  • I know what you mean! I just started in development recently and the amount of my colleagues (that I am supposed to learn from) who use ChatGPT for a lot more than they should is super annoying to me. I have a background in natural language processing but decided to go into software development because the programming was always more fun to me.

    Recently some of my colleagues were looking for a package for a specific framework to do a specific task. And they just asked ChatGPT which is just NOT A SEARCH ENGINE. It came up with something that wasn’t even close to what we needed, but somehow no one looked into it. I did a quick search, read some threads on reddit and found something a lot better in 5 minutes. Luckily the Project Manager listened to me, but it was honestly so weird, because I felt like I was somehow weird for suggesting to look at what other devs recommend instead of just going with what a language model suggests, that doesn’t even use recent data.


  • Same! I’m on Elvanse for about half a year now and the first week was insane, I had to force myself to eat, which never happened to me before. I also lost a bit of weight in the first 2 months (which is not a good thing for me), but I got used to it. Now I eat a huge breakfast, before it kicks in and then just eat small amounts over the whole day and have a bigger meal once it wears off. But I definitely had to change my routine a bit. I miss enjoying a lunch break. :D




  • Bees love it, but be careful with Lavender! I keeps smelling nice and attracting bees and bumblebees even after there is no nectar/pollen left, so they sometimes die of exhaustion looking for it. I have a lot of lavender in my garden and always make sure to cut it when i see the first dead bumblebee. Just learned that recently though and I’m not sure if it’s like that with all types of lavender and maybe it’s just a problem where I live because lavender isn’t native here.
