lain, author of the quixote

honestly i don't understand why people love tolkien so much. he's of course a very good writer but there are many more, and the ring trilogy especially is not the most riveting work.

> The Romani crucifixion legend is a story of how a Romani blacksmith made the nails for the cross upon which Jesus Christ was crucified.[1]
> The condemnatory version states that as he made the nails to crucify Jesus Christ, the blacksmith and his kin were condemned to wander the earth and never settle.[2]
> The laudatory version states that a Romani stole the fourth nail of the crucifixion to repair his cart, the fourth nail being the one which would have pierced Jesus's heart, and that ever since God has granted the Romani people the moral right to commit petty thefts for things they need on their travels.

the biggest problem with these code assistants is that they are competent but have the memory of a goldfish, so you always need to find a way to get them pointed in the right direction in the least amount of characters possible.

Using cursor with Claude it’s hard to believe that many people will still be doing “normal” programming even in a year or two. It’s much better (and faster) than most Uni graduates, can run and write tests, fix any errors that come up, implement a png of a design, and so on. It does make mistakes and introduces bugs, but that’s not exclusive to llms. And it’s 20 usd a month.
