then just rig it up to ping your phone when it’s done…oh who am I kidding these dudes wouldn’t know how to do that.

Fucking. Exactly. I just made a long comment about how this article feels like they're talking to non-tech-savvy people who are pretending to be tech-savvy because they talk to a fucking AI.

Like this dumbfuck kid who "has to keep shipping software" as if that means he's not shipping it riddled with bugs and security issues since his AI makes the spaghetti code and he just says "I'm sure this is ready for production."

I used to use a push notification app and a small python script for that.

I would “&& notify_me ‘message’ “ and get a notification on my watch when whatever script I was running completed

I judge this wave of people in tech pretty harshly.

Just a bunch of boring script kiddies

I couldn't even find any evidence in the article or photos that anyone interviewed was running a local LLM, which would at least justify worrying about temps if your keyboard acts as your air intake (which apparently is relatively common now).

Just a bunch of narcissists wanting an excuse to have people ask them about what they're doing, ogle what they're doing, and so they can pretend they're...

Even worse than script kiddies, they may not even know how to use or build a script

Or use their operating system. Who doesn't know you can have it stay on when you shut the lid if you want?

Even easier. For a lot of carriers you can send an email to the phone number and it'll come up as a text.
