Fascinating. Netflix is definitely an "it" to me.

does anyone else feel weird referring to claude as "he" but internally compelled to adhere to social norms with a masculinely named but obviously agender entity? does anyone else spend too much time pondering this?

curiously, i realized my xml schema version was 4.0.0. changing it to 4.1.0 caused the variables to resolve differently. I *think* it's working now? will keep playing with it.

I tried that using help:evaluate and it didn't resolve but I'll try again in the pom file and see if help:evaluate just runs in a weird context.

But how do I reference it in a pom? What's the property name? In code, I'd just walk up until I find .mvn or .git. πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

when configuring a plugin in the root pom in <pluginMgmt> how can I reference a file in the root folder such that modules will correctly resolve that path to the root and not within the module itself? i tried maven.multiModuleProjectDirectory but that always resolves to the module. i'm on 4.0.0-rc-5

My new goal is to, by next summer, become the greatest pole vaulter in history. But that's a pretty high bar.

Asking an AI agent to write your code is a lot like asking some person on fiverr to bang out some code for you. It'll cost you a few bucks, perhaps, in tokens and you have to scrutinize the hell out of the code you get back. but it beats working for a living.

I just learned that back in the day, TLC (The Learning Channel) was in the process of creating a programming block called Medical Mondays. They already had shows like ER, Grey's Anatomy, and House. NBC heard about it and offered Scrubs. But TLC turned them down because TLC don't want no Scrubs.

And for all the questioners and seekers, I hope you find the courage and acceptance you need to live as your authentic self. And if it's not now, know you have a whole raft of folks ready to embrace and celebrate with you.

Much love to you all. πŸ³οΈβ€πŸŒˆ

Happy Pride Month to all my trans, gay, and queer friends, family, and loved ones. In a country increasingly antagonistic, I hope this month especially you know how loved you are no matter where you are in the Alphabet Mafia.
