      Tucci Pan ReviewStanley Tucci has a set of cookware named after him that GreenPan sells. I've got these two pans: I forget where they came from exactly, some silent auction or something, but I unboxed and started using them about 8 months ago. I was so hyped the first few months! Ultra extremely non-stick Washing them with a soft sponge is nearly effortless because of how non-stick they are.

      I just accidentally stepped on a banana on the sidewalk and I didn't slip in a comical way, it just went "squelch". I'm disappointed.

      I like coding. I'm not sure I'm interested in AI orchestration. I get it can do cool stuff, but it's taking out the part I like. Also, I prefer not consuming all the water and electricity needed by humans. Makes me wonder if there's a point to staying in this industry.
