Kinda, I don't mind having quite a few packages but they are mostly self-contained in their use-package blocks. This way even if things go wrong it's usually just one package I gotta remove and not something that's intertwined with the whole config.

Using emacs for 4-5 years now and it's been a fantastic experience so far.

> Or for one of my favorites, 'a glass of wine a day is healthy'

There are a few reasons why this is false, my favorite one is, they didn't control for alcoholics who stopped drinking and thus reported as non-drinkers. So the group of completely sober ones had people with liver damage etc. while those with only moderate drinkers had barely any heavy-drinkers in it.

Most sales jobs would be unnecessary if people would be good at communicating their problems.

You can make dichromated gelatin film yourself which is cheap but quite tricky to do and requires a lot of work compared to the ready made film.

I think it depends on what you think your job is.

If your job is/you enjoy writing the code and solving technical challenges then yes this changes very heavily and AI will do this more efficiently than a human.

But if your job is designing systems and implementing solutions and coming up with good code along the way then I don't see AI getting anywhere close to making you obsolete in the foreseeable future.

I personally don't enjoy writing C++ but I really enjoy solving problems.

Terra Medium/High for most implementations, Sol High for tracking down hard bugs and planning more complex systems.

PayPal and Apple Pay use my debit card so they somewhat do use it.

In germany a similar scheme exists (Schufa) but it's less important.

Yeah I think we all agree that this double standard is a huge problem and has no merit to it.

Its sadly very similar to corporate vs private responsibility.

I never understood how anybody would think this way. At work for example from day one of using AI our rule was, AI is just a tool and if you break something due to not reviewing the code properly etc. it's on you as if you wrote that code yourself.

We have a very lean development process and are in early stages of releasing the software, so almost no meetings and 90% of my time is development time (obv I talk with colleagues etc in that time). For example working with yocto eats through tokens like crazy since codex has to work with a pretty big codebase and look up tons of stuff.

We have ChatGPT Pro at work and I usually use Terra medium/high and only bring out Sol High when the big or feature actually requires "thinking"/complex behavior. This has worked pretty well for me and it's very token efficient
