Within a few months, the entire concept of "manually maintaining instruction files" will be laughed at. It is obvious that manual instruction files are a short-term hack/fix that will be replaced by better, long-term solutions that don't rely on people maintaining or even knowing about such things.

Hmm, shouldn't the "coding environment" be able to do this largely automatically? LLMs/tools can recognize that the user has made a context switch, so why can't this trigger a saving of the current context and starting a new one, or switching back to a related old one? Just because the tools TODAY require you to manage this kind of thing manually today doesn't mean they won't do it for you shortly. And if that doesn't happen, why don't you add that feature to your toolset yourself, it seems pretty easy?

"I'm just against forcing established neighborhoods of single-family dwellings, "

Established neighborhoods of single-family dwellings are, in fact, "forced" creations (through zoning etc) that have caused a certain amount of the problems we have with stratification. One can rarely solve a problem that was caused by a "forcing" without an opposing "forcing". Pretending the current "forced state" is actually a natural state, which it is not, is just an excuse to avoid trying to solve the problem.

From the bill "IF THE PERSON MAKING THE VIDEO RECORDING IS
8 WITHIN EIGHT FEET OF WHERE THE PERSON KNOWS OR REASONABLY SHOULD KNOW THAT
9 LAW ENFORCEMENT ACTIVITY IS OCCURRING,"

Say a cop is kneeling on a guy's neck for nine minutes, and another cop is standing 8 feet from the killer cop, telling people to back up. The person with the cellphone is now 15 feet from the killer cop yet is in violation of the law because the other cop is clearly involved in law enforcement activity (that is, preventing bystanders from trying to stop the murder of a minority).

You scatter a few cops in a crowd no one can film within 30 feet of a police murder. The objection to the law is due to its vague and ill-defined term "law enforcement activity" and thus would need to be struck down by the courts, not because of the specific "eight feet". One is already not allowed to interfere in law enforcement activity, so the law is also not needed and is clearly designed just to prevent filming.
