    1. AI Coding agents are the opposite of what I want

      I've been thinking a lot about LLM assisted development, and in particular why I keep dropping the available tools after a few attempts at using them.

      I realized recently that it's taking away the part of software development I enjoy: the creative problem solving that comes with writing code. What's left is code review tasks, testing, security checks, etc. Important tasks, but they all primarily involve heavy concentration, and much less creativity.

      Why aren't agents focused on handling the mundane tasks instead? Tell me if I've just introduced a security vulnerability or a runtime bug. Generate realistic test data and give me info on what the likely output would be. Tell me that the algorithm I just wrote is O(n^2).

      Those tasks are so much more applicable to matching against existing data, something LLMs should be extremely good at, rather than trying to get them to write something novel, which so far they've been mostly bad at, at least in my experience.

      I have been gifted a tiny bit of VPN quota from a relative to allow me to upload my beatsaber creations. Its been the most important thing for me to put out, had found a very kind community, was known-ish in it. I spent multiple weeks working on one of the projects i had planned, it was the only thing do to daily. Since it was finished life's been nothing after nothing after nothing. Fear, stress, depression, power infrastructure might get hit, planning for loss of power, loss of water, loss of food.
      Constant stream of people asking for internet in news website comments. On the verge of crying 80% of the time.
      I'm not gonna buy atrociously prices VPNs, even in this state people are scamming eachother with fake VPNs.
      I miss life, life's been on pause for more than a month. the best describer of life is that it's on pause, that's all.
      I was never at risk for depression, my friends who were now have it and struggle with it.
      I have lost weight and gained a few more white hairs tho.
      I love everyone and everything, i wish to get back to life.

      Will be seeing you hopefully in a better state.

    3. Looking for an online spreadsheet to share with others (not Google or Microsoft)

      I figure the title is good enough, but, I just want to upload/make a spreadsheet in an .ods format so others can view it. Not edit it, not have to sign in to view, but still has sorting options or...

      I figure the title is good enough, but, I just want to upload/make a spreadsheet in an .ods format so others can view it. Not edit it, not have to sign in to view, but still has sorting options or whatnot. And in the .ods format.

      I'm seeing a few options online, but it seems more that they offer viewing but not sorting (which is a huge aspect of spreadsheets), or no importing, or doesn't support .ods.

      So I can keep searching and I'm sure something is out there, but does anyone already use a site for these requests?
