There's been a lot of talk about AI taking people's jobs, but I'm starting to think another industry is quietly on the chopping block: the training sites. You pay to watch an instructor walk through some AI workflow, but there's no universe where you'll get the same results. They're running top-tier, pay-to-win agents, while you're stuck on the budget plan with the free models. And those free models love to throttle you with monthly token limits, so if your course runs three weeks, you'd better hope you started mid-month — otherwise you're waiting for the next reset just to finish a lesson.
The video I'm watching now hasn't taught me much beyond “be more precise with your prompts,” which is something I already figured out at work. The real trick is planning with your AI agent so you cover every piece you want to implement — and double-checking the final plan before you let it run. I told the agent there were multiple chat agents on the site and we only wanted to modify one specific chat. After waiting an hour for the harness to decide what it was doing, implement the changes, test them, and verify everything, it somehow applied the update to the demo chat agent that was never meant to go live. And it didn't even interact with the backend APIs correctly.
To make it worse, that one session chewed through almost all my tokens four days into the month. Now I'm juggling GitHub Copilot and a second Claude account with limited tokens, trying to stretch my AI usage for the next three weeks.
If you are installing a Delta faucet in your bathroom, make sure you have all the parts you need. I made the mistake of replacing the faucet that came with the house, which had rubber hoses running all the way to the wall outlets, and I didn't realize the Delta replacement didn't come with hoses — only the short copper ones.
On top of that, I should have checked more carefully because Delta uses 1/2-inch connectors, and I screwed up when I went to Lowe's and bought a 3/8-to-3/8 hose. I had to make another run to the hardware store to swap it for a 1/2-inch-to-3/8-inch hose.
AI said there was supposed to be an adapter from Delta, and technically there is — but Delta only sells the official RP63263 adapters as a 4-pack kit, not individually. That's why the price is around $40. If you only need one, generic 3/8-to-1/2 adapters or hoses are way cheaper.
And always make sure to cram that angled-edge gasket up into the sink before tightening the big connector that screws up into the sink.
Also, don't assume the hot-water connector coming out of the wall is on the left. At least that last one was an easier fix than having to undo all the drain pipes and reconnect them.
This whole faucet replacement job reminded me of back in the day when I went to ITT Tech for mechanical engineering. There was an older gentleman in one of my classes who was there for architecture, and he told us a story about doing construction work before coming to the school. He was installing a sink and didn't think it needed the P-trap under it, so he ran the drain pipe straight into the wall. He couldn't understand why the U-shaped trap was necessary.. That little big of water in the bend is the only thing stopping your bathroom from smelling like a municipal waste facility.
Thanks to publisher PID Games and developer Domesticated Ant Games, you can grab a free copy of Gravity Circuit on Steam until June 14 to celebrate the announcement of Gravity Circuit 2 and the release of Patch 1.2.2.
If you liked MegaMan back in the day, you will dig Gravity Circuit. It looks like it could be in the same universe. So much so, I'm surprised Capcom hasn't come knocking on Domesticated Ant Gamess door yet. Go grab it now and play it like it's 1987!
