I don't have any agent 'connected' to my IDE, but I will take chunks of code and paste it in my IDE... then I go through every single line rewriting where something is not clear, adding comments, and making sure it is maintainable for when I come back to it. Once I'm rolling on a project and I really just use AI to help check syntax and 'best' practices.

Consumer battery technology is *still* complete junk. These things don't last so I would not even consider making them part of any structure unless it is a disposable product like a military drone. The only weird exception of 'good' consumer battery technology are the Braun toothbrushes. They have had contactless induction charging for decades and they last for a looong time, kind of suspicious actually.

"As it becomes possible for anybody to create something that meets a certain standard of technical perfection, then imperfection becomes more valuable and more interesting." I agree and am excited to see the artistic grunge revolution. Photography took a wild ride too.

"Oh, you say I'm evil? I'll show you evil, muhahahaha."

...with illegal weed, corporate healthcare, rampant guns, and fireworks. Get yer logic loving science shit outta here. Yeehaw cowboy!

I wouldn't go to the USA even if I had a funeral to attend.

I can't wait for the style warz to begin.

I love new tech and services, but watching crypto tank and seeing these prediction markets renege on bets - it is truly a beautiful thing when greedy people get their fair share of shit.

"Balor Games is built for inventors and backed by believers." I'm not a rich investor, or a theist.

Which makes Xbox but a landlord.

GamePass breaks the feedback loop between player and developers and makes Xbox gamers a 'renter' class.

Yeah, so, on Linux you can place as many tool/task/menubars as you want, wherever you want, shaped however you'd like, with unique buttons and info on each. Meanwhile Microsoft is 'experimenting' with UI like its Xerox in 1970s, yikes.

If you know how to code and use AI as a tool, then this statement becomes the real sore point in modern development: "today's programs are complex and call upon numerous frameworks and resources"

Q: "How do you prevent the CEO from cutting corners on safety until the inevitable disaster?" A: Get creative, put a Methane plant [competitor] team in charge of Nuclear plant safety. Or put a multiple university teams in charge of safety. The main problem here, as we all know, is money. Find ways to take money out of the equation and we may get a chance.

Keep extrapolating into the future. Who has left Windows, who remains? What can we sell to those that remain?
