5.0 out of 5 stars from 24 ratings
  • Unbiased 5-star Review

    As Justin Searls’ wife I can provide a completely unbiased perspective and confidently state this is 5-star laugh-out-loud content that is perfect for the moments you find yourself geographically at a distance from your husband but still wanting to hear his voice and chuckle at his humor. Highly recommend!

Having a cohabitant can help in finding a more appropriate balance to daily life.

The setup experience is complicated, with issues like needing to tether to a battery and setting up the prescription lenses causing frustration.

Q: What's your experience with AI in the context of coding? Have you used GitHub Copilot or other tools for your work?
