The way it works is: all those dreams it caught are concentrating themselves into an all powerful soul-nightmare that will return at midlife and cause a catastrophic realignment of the man's life. What a cute little cartoon.

It sounds like a pirate which is me.

That's cool and I would say I mostly agree, I am also going to add a couple specific pointers that I consider practical: use ChatGPT on a desktop in a browser, use VS Code and extensions, keep ChatGPT instructions OFF the CLI so you don't end up in a loop of running CLI codes and reporting back to your SupervisorGPT, make deals with ChatGPT in terms of complete code files and check every line, run midnight commander in a separate terminal and pay attention to permissions and ownership, force ChatGPT into lock down checklist mode and force it to go step by step, focus on the BIG picture with ChatGPT and don't let it runoff to the next shiny object before you completed and tested everything that you wanted to do and hardened before you listen to the next bullshit suggestion prior to project completion. It's not all bad and it does help you learn and punch above your weight class, but it can be downright infuriating and is by no means a turnkey solution: my two cents. Nobody going nowhere doing nothing.

I don't even know what a VCD is, but I love Robocop and Robocop 2 in particular. After reading your description of the experience, I am inspired. Thank you. NUKE

That's cool. It doesn't sound like you are vibe coding because you don't expect a working code, rather using LLM to learn more about coding in general. Is there any technique you learned to make it go faster or work better thru that process?

I have tried vibe coding on a couple small hobby projects and it did not workout in any of the cases, zero out of 4 or 5 ish attempts. It will get you kind of close, but it takes way way too long and it doesn't work so you are actually just getting started. Are there actually techniques to vibe coding or is this all bullshit? I don't want to spend more time looking into it...

Trillium right?

Don't know if this helps, but I will share my experience anyways. I left my job last August, sparing the details it was unbearable. I am just now, climbing out of the hole. I have been busy continuing my education in the meantime and working to improve my marriage and immediate family relationships. It has been an experience. The way I judge is to gauge my interest and pleasure in activities that I formerly enjoyed before falling in the abyss. When I am burnt out, nothing is enjoyable and I find pleasure in almost nothing, except sex. So I would say watch out for changes in mood and confirm changes in behavior, if things get really bad it might take 6 or so months to stabilize. From my perspective, it's all about having the resources to fight your battle, and most people lack the resources when they need them. Survival is the key, bide your time, stack your resources and make your move. It is never too late. You are not doomed.

Five star post, best I have seen in a long time.

That is the sequel to this work. Gotta give them space to develop the character here.

I believe it teaches persistence, resilience, strength under fire, and humility. I love Atari.

No one knows what happens when you die, things could get worse after death and in that case suicide is not a solution but rather a next step towards something even worse.

Given that it is currently impossible (as far as I know) to know what happens at death, the decision to suicide is an uninformed decision of tremendous magnitude.

If by killing yourself things get worse, what would be the next step?

Would you be in a better position to turn things around in the afterlife (assuming that there is one) or now in this life?

In summary, the reason why you should not kill yourself is because you do not know what will be the result of that action your death: your death is not a guaranteed solution to anything.
