I'm a bit embarassed to admit this but I'm only familiar with Chuck Norris from the recurring memes about him. I think I vaguely knew he was an actor but haven't seen any of the movies that he's in. Which are the one or two best that you would recommend?

Honestly, he kinda is a meme. I wouldn't recommend any of the movies. It's not like you've missed some grand piece of cinema that you have to be ashamed of and must fix it ASAP. It's the sheer volume of mediocre movies and the very distinct role of a guy who always kicks bad guy's asses using karate in all these movies. I mean, the fact that you've never seen something like Walker, Texas Ranger probably just means that you are under 30 years old, but by no means it's good TV series that everyone must see.

Delta Force is a good movie within the action genre.

The Way of the Dragon

Claude code makes it so easy to do things the "right way" that it also makes it really easy for you to let scope creep get out of hand. I have a personal project that I haven't deployed yet that in some ways is way overengineered for its purpose. It's hard to blame the tool though, it's always telling me I'm making it more complicated than it needs to be but I don't listen

I've felt this recently. I've often been bad about scope creep. CC makes it so easy.

On the other hand, I can see these tools getting good enough that scope creep doesn't even matter.

ATM I usually get stuck around the review/verification stage. As in, my code works, I have tested that it works, but it is failing CI or someone left a PR comment. And for each comment I'll have to make sure it makes sense, make the change, test again, and get CI passing again.

In my team we have strict rules for scope creep in pull request. Each one needs to introduce a single thing, not a dozen little refactorings. This helps, but not when you're working alone in a personal project. Maybe you can setup your review agent to help with scope creep?

What is the broad spectrum of new promising tech today? How much time and money should you invest in each one?

This question is easy to answer in hindsight but it's not trivial to answer in the moment. I like your mindset though

There's plenty of people that don't own these smart glasses, as far as i know it's still only early adopters using them but i guess i could be wrong. The nice thing is you actually can vote with your feet here because there's no network effects, whereas there's tons of people that are stuck being on facebook or instagram because of everyone else that's on there.

Gotta go interview all the murder victims

Looks interesting but I haven't seen it discussed much yet. How did you find out about it?

Well it's mentioned in the tweet this thread is about

> Anyway there are many others - e.g. nanobot, zeroclaw, ironclaw, picoclaw (lol @ prefixes).

Probably because there's a bunch of English speakers on here from Canada, the US and the UK. TBH I think it made it to the front page because of interesting discussion in the comments, not because of the content of the article itself

Funny I'm Canadian and I thought it was aluminium and maneuvers

I mean I wouldn't say it's misleading, it just says what the graph contains. It's important that it shows 18 months so you can see how flat it was before

"Figure out an opinion that no one has that you could conceivably argue for that will piss off the most people"

I know some people that like to do this for their own entertainment in real life, i guess they could get a job writing for cnbc
