  • I was high for 20 years almost 24/7. I made some life changes and these days I get high maybe around 10 times a year. And those times that I do, its special and not just ordinary. Life is so much better when my brain can operate at a higher capacity. Not that I couldn’t cope while high - I was fine, but definitely not optimal, especially with short term memory. I guess if my job was not that demanding of mental clarity it would be a different situation.












  • I was high on cannabis 24/7 for 20 years. He is going through withdrawal and it’s going to be tough for the first month. After that he will start sleeping better but still have really vivid dreams. Expect a short temper and irritability. Months 2,3 and 4 won’t be that bad. If he has anxiety issues like PTSD then just be prepared for the chance that stimulants will adversely affect that. Long term cannabis use also can cause anxiety. Good luck finding what works.


  • I’m a senior dev and the amount of bullshit code that LLMs generate is just unacceptable if you are copy pasting. You should take the output as you would take a junior coders output and code review it the same way and then use your own version in the commit. Don’t be lazy to just use some of the ideas and completely refactor the output if needed. You will find that LLMs accuracy drops dramatically when you go from easy/common -> average/uncommon -> hard/rare problems. They also don’t care much for optimization.
