Alright I made it, I'm https://staging.bsky.app/profile/domenic.me . Will try to pay it forward once whatever mysterious invite-generating process happens.

I'm ready for my Bluesky invite. Anyone?

I am bad at (and mentally drained by) online shopping. I made a valiant effort this weekend to find new shoes, but (a) most stores in Japan max out at 30.5 cm; (b) the one store I found and loaded up my cart on, has a limited allowlist of email domains. Defeated.

I then asked a follow-up question about how I could made this work while also grouping the results. It (of course) knew what to do there too. But check out how the conversation ended! I thought I was just doing a polite "thank you", but I got a bonus lesson!

15 minutes reading docs on how "common table expressions" work, and I still can't figure out how or whether they'll solve my problem.

1 minute with ChatGPT, and it says "CTEs will work. Here's the modified code."

I really enjoyed using ChatGPT-4 today to get better at a programming language I'm new/bad at. (Namely, SQL.)
