Clappie looks much more fabulous than CC though. I'll have to give it a try. I like how you put the requests straight into an already running CC session instead of calling `claude -p` every time like the claws.
I always felt slightly more adult as I got older but I didn't really feel it until after my daughter was born. Then the weight of real responsibility hits and your perspective changes. It's one of those things that you need to experience to understand.
I see a lot of comments saying similar. It's almost like we should have 3 stages instead of child -> adult. Someone else responsible for you -> Responsible for yourself -> Responsible for others. You could argue that's childhood, adolescence, adulthood. I would be inclined to agree with the caveat that adolescence extends to much older than 18 or even 22 years.
>adolescence extends to much older than 18 or even 22 years
Adolescence extends to a few years past when you start being treated like an adult, for some it can be extended almost indefinitely.
People increasingly want to delay being treated like an adult until after a person has reached the full maturity of an adult not realizing those two things are linked.
The transition of this happening too early or too late leads to many mental illnesses where your brain is being wired to expect and react to the world incorrectly and when most of the rewiring is done you're somewhat stuck with what you've got. (If you're pampered and protected for too long you can't handle anything but that the rest of your life, if you face adult challenges too early you develop maladaptive strategies to cope with things you can't handle, etc.)
The "25 year old adolescent" is a troubling development.
Agree, I was looking more for a new definition. I suppose "young adult" is the proper term and I'm defining something that already exists. Adolescent is really still a child.
"Adolescent" is a straight pull from Latin it's literal meaning means being in the process of growing up and maturing. Adolescent is not still a child, adolescent is a child recognized as being an in-progress-to-adulthood.
"Adolescent" 25 year olds is the problem, 25 year olds still in the process of becoming adults because of progressive infantilization where parents seeing their children aren't adults are delaying further and further treating their children like they're becoming adults ... is the problem.
You're looking for a new definition but you shouldn't be.
Maybe we shouldn't send our 13 year olds out into the wilderness for a week with only a knife and a water bottle like many societies have done... but maybe our 26 year olds need to be embarrassed when they can't take care of themselves or be responsible for their own decisions.
The process of lengthening childhood into the mid 20s is the problem and new definitions isn't the solution.
Well people used to get married and have kids at like 13. We live longer therefore we extend it. Honestly I think you're focusing on the word not the point of my comment though.
I have been having the same thought. Since I've stepped back into code in the past month I have written maybe 3 or 4 lines. Deleted more than that for sure. Most of the time has been spent babysitting and manual testing.
